Women's T20 World Cup: India need to up their game against England

After being put under pressure in their previous two games, India will have no room for error when they take on a formidable England in the Women's T20 World Cup here on Friday. A win against world number two England on Friday will take the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side effectively into the knock-out stage, to be competed among top two teams from Group 1 and 2.

They will be keen to give a better account of themselves. With tougher oppositions expected as the tournament progresses, the Indian bowlers couldn't have asked for a better opponent than a familiar West Indies side, whom India beat twice in the recent tri-series.
