Deepti Sharma stars in India's record win over England women in only Test

DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai is all set to host India women's first Test since 2014 during England's tour of India in December. The lone Test on the tour which also comprises three T20Is will begin from December 6. The development was first reported by ESPNCricinfo.

England women last toured India in 2019 when they lost three-match ODI series 2-1 but won the three-T20I series 3-0. Mumbai's iconic Wankhede Stadium will host three T20Is on 6, 9 and 10 December for the upcoming tour. The Test will be played from December 14-17. ESPNCricinfo also reported that the tour will be held in the state of Maharashtra only. The dates, however, are still being finalised.

Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, England women team seamer Kate Cross said: "The opportunity to come and play a Test match in India is bucket-list stuff for a lot of players."&nbsp;

Cross is currently in India as a commentator for the ODI World Cup 2023.&nbsp;

"I've been in India for a couple of weeks now and you can see that girls have role models in that team now," she further added.

Speaking on her previous experience about playing in India, Cross recalled: "We played in front of over 12,000 people in Guwahati. The chance to come back here and play as an England team again is going to be special."

With the launch of Women's Premier League (WPL) earlier this year, many foreign players, including England's, now have the experience of playing in India and the league also helped the game grow in India.

"The WPL has obviously helped with the growth of the women's game. After the summer we've just had with the Ashes, you want to be playing in front of big crowds and there is an appetite for the women's game in India that just keeps growing. If it's well advertised, people will come and watch," added Cross.

DY Patil to host only Test between India women and England women in December - Report

England women cricketers are set to receive equal match fees as their male counterparts, starting as soon as Friday, September 1 T20I against Sri Lanka. The move, recommended by Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket (ICEC) report earlier this year, comes after the recently-concluded women's Ashes saw record crowds.

The multi-format Women's Ashes in June-July this year set new records at Edgbaston, the Kia Oval and Lord's as well. The series also witnessed first ever sold-out women's ODI series and an increase of 200% in ticket sales from 2019. The series, during which one Test, three ODIs and three T20Is were played, saw the crowds of 110,000 - a new high in women's cricket.

The ICEC reports says that England women cricketers get about 20.6 percent match fee of what their male counterparts gets. The England Cricket Board, however, pegs the number at around 30%.&nbsp;

Speaking on the historic move, England skipper Heather Knight said, "It's really important that we continue to drive the women's game forward and it's fantastic to see equal match fees for England Women and England Men."

"The direction of travel for the women's game has always been the most important thing, creating a sustainable product that people want to watch and play, and I'm sure this will make cricket an increasingly attractive sport to girls and young women as we continue to grow the game.

"I would also like to thank the PCA and England Women's Player Partnership for their support in representing the players and the growth of the professional game," she added.

ECB's chief executive officer, &nbsp;Richard Gould, said, "This summer's thrilling Metro Bank Women's Ashes series demonstrated how women's cricket is continuing to grow at pace in this country, with record attendances and TV viewing. Growing the women's and girls' game is a key priority for us, and in recent years we have considerably increased investment both in building a domestic women's structure to produce the players of the future, and in increasing player rewards."

Charlotte Dean then dismissed Yastika Bhatia in the 12th over to give England a much-needed breakthrough, as the pair looked threatening to take the game away from the hosts. Dean took a superb catch of her own bowling to dismiss Bhatia for a score of 26 from 34 deliveries and left India at 66/2 in the 12th over of the innings.

Indian women's cricket team to tour England for 3 T20Is, 3 ODIs in September 2022

India Women will play a one-off Test against the England Women in Bristol. The match will start on June 16 and it&nbsp;will be India Women's first Test match in almost seven years.&nbsp;

The Indian Women's cricket squad has been quite possibly the best unit in the game's longest format and are chasing the record of becoming the team with the most successive Test wins in women's cricket.&nbsp;

There is a ton of exhilaration about this Test as numerous players of the Indian team might want to substantiate themselves in this format too. Then again, the England women's team will enjoy a home benefit on their side.

<h2>Head to Head</h2>

The two teams have confronted each other in 13 Tests, with England Women winning once. India Women have arisen successfully twice, while the remaining 10 matches finishing&nbsp;in draws.

India Women, who have won the last two Test matches played between the different sides.

<h2>Weather Report</h2>

The climate gauge for this match is somewhat obscure, the main day will have a few veils of mist however the remainder of the days are required to have some downpour, we may see a few rain delays and the game may head towards a draw. The temperature is predicted to be around 25°C with winds of 12 km/h bowling around on an average.&nbsp;

<h2>England&nbsp;</h2>

England Women, who have been in incredible structure this year. Albeit the English women played their last Test in 2019, they have sufficient involvement with the form of skipper Heather Knight and star all-rounders Nat Sciver and Katherine Brunt. The hosts have a decent blend of youth and experience, holding them in great stead.

With 41 wickets in only 12 Tests, Katherine Brunt is the highest wicket-taker in Women's Test cricket among dynamic cricketers. She will want to get some early wickets for her team to put the Indian players&nbsp;under pressure.

The England skipper is quite possibly the most experienced player on the side with more than 4,500 runs in worldwide cricket. Heather Knight, who bats at number 3 for England in Tests, will hope to secure the innings.

England Team Probable XI: Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones (wk), Heather Knight (c), Natalie Sciver, Georgia Elwiss, Lauren Winfield, Katherine Brunt, Anya Shrubsole, Sophie Ecclestone, Kate Cross/Emily Arlott, and Mady Villiers.

<h2>India&nbsp;</h2>

Any semblance of Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur, who are essential players in the Indian Women's limited-overs series, will be key as they tackle England. Jhulan Goswami - The veteran pacer will be an imperative pinion in the group if the Indian ladies are to win the one-off Test on English soil. Jhulan Goswami has a decent Test record of 40 wickets from only 10 Test matches including three five-wicket hauls. Team India would anticipate that she should concoct the goods with the ball, close by Poonam Yadav, and Deepti Sharma.&nbsp;

Shafali Varma's forceful style of play at the top has procured her a spot in the Indian women's Test team for the visit through England. The bold opener's skill of taking on bowlers from the beginning of the innings conveys her intimidation even in the game's longest format.

One of the legends of women's cricket in India, Mithali Raj, will step onto the field at Bristol wanting to broaden her fabulous record in Test cricket. The 38-year-old averages more than 50 in Test cricket.

India Team Probable XI: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma/Priya Punia, Punam Raut, Mithali Raj (c), Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Jhulan Goswami, Shikha Pandey, Poonam Yadav, and Ekta Bisht.

England Women will begin the Test as the reasonable top choices due to home advantage being the key, one can't trifle with India Women. With worldwide whizzes, for example, Mithali Raj and Heather Knight set to take the field on Wednesday, we are in for an outright cracker of a Test match.

India Women will play a one-off Test against the England Women in Bristol. The match will start on June 16 and it will be India Women's first Test match in almost seven years.
