# England women's cricket team in India in 2017–18

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