Historic Women's Test Match: India to Face England at Lord's

Historic Women's Test Match at Lord's

India is set to compete against England in a landmark women's test match at the renowned Lord's cricket ground. This match marks England's 103rd test, with their first encounter dating back to 1934. For India, it will be their 43rd test match in history. This event is particularly significant as it represents the inaugural women's test to take place at Lord's, a venue that has hosted 150 men's Test matches but has never before welcomed women's teams. Worcester's New Road holds the record for the most Women's Test matches, having hosted nine, while The Oval has seen six, and both the County Ground in Taunton and Scarborough's North Marine Road Ground have held five each. This match will also be the final test for the legendary Tammy Beaumont, who is the only woman to have scored a double century for England. She has announced her retirement from international cricket following this match.
