Historic Stats: India Women Lead England in Test Encounters

New Delhi, July 8 – The women's Test set for July 10 continues a saga that started in 1986. Over fifteen Tests, India has maintained a superior record.

India has secured three victories, England just one, and the other eleven matches have been drawn.

The inaugural 1986 series of three matches finished without a winner. England's first series win came in 1995, taking the three‑match series 1‑0. Later, single Tests in July 1999 and January 2002 resulted in a 1‑1 split, both declared draws. A two‑match series in 2002 and a solitary Test in November 2005 also ended level.

India's breakthrough came with a 2‑0 series win in 2006, followed by a lone Test win in 2014. After a drawn series in 2021, the team reclaimed the trophy in December 2023.

The three biggest innings totals in this rivalry belong to India: 467 runs in the second innings of August 2002, 428 runs in the first innings of December 2023, and the opening 426/9 in July 1986.

Mitalee Raj tops the batting aggregates, amassing 511 runs at an average of 51.10 across seven Tests and twelve innings. Her scores include a century and three fifties, making her the sole player to breach 500 runs in India‑England women's Tests.
