Women's World Cup, India vs England: England have got lot of work to do before massive game against India, says Nasser Hussain

Women's World Cup league match here on Wednesday, said former men's team skipper Nasser Hussain. England's chances to advance to the knockout stage hang in balance after the defending champions slumped to three defeats from as many outings in the marquee event. "Played three and lost three, all close games, they've got a lot of work to do," Hussain said on ICC's Digital Daily following England's three wicket loss to South Africa on Monday.

Their confidence high after an impressive win over the West Indies, India would look for much-needed consistency with the bat against a struggling England in their fourth league stage match of the ICC Women's World Cup on Wednesday.

"They can have no complaints, they're not playing their best cricket. "England have got India next and that game for both sides is massive. There are so many good teams in the tournament, but that's a massive game on Wednesday," he added. India are currently placed third in the points table having won two of their three matches. The Mithali Raj-led side's latest victory was an impressive one as they thrashed the West Indies by 155 runs. Smriti Mandhana (123) and Harmanpreet Kaur (109) starred with the bat to lay the foundation of India's impressive win. "India are playing well, batters Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana were phenomenal the other day, so there are no easy games," Hussain said.
