The England women's cricket team played the India women's cricket team in April 2018.[2] The tour consisted of three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs).[3] The matches followed a tri-series in India, which also featured the Australia women's cricket team.[4] India won the series 2–1.[5]
Unlike other WODI matches, these fixtures did not form part of the 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship.[6] Instead, the fixtures were used to give India more match practice in the run-up to the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup.[6] Ahead of the WODI fixtures, England Women played a warm-up match against India A Women, with all four matches taking place in Nagpur.[7]
During the first fixture, India's captain, Mithali Raj, played in her 192nd match, becoming the most capped player in WODIs.[8] In the third and final match, she scored her 50th half-century in WODIs.[5] It was the 56th time she had made a score of fifty or more, a new record in WODIs.[9]
Ahead of the first match, Georgia Elwiss was added to England's squad, as cover for Heather Knight.[12]
