The England women's cricket team played the India women's cricket team in April 2018.^[1] The tour consisted of three Women's One Day Internationals (WODIs).^[2] The matches followed a tri-series in India, which also featured the Australia women's cricket team.^[3] India won the series 2–1.^[4]

Unlike other WODI matches, these fixtures did not form part of the 2017–20 ICC Women's Championship.^[5] Instead, the fixtures were used to give India more match practice in the run-up to the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup.^[5] Ahead of the WODI fixtures, England Women played a warm-up match against India A Women, with all four matches taking place in Nagpur.^[6]

During the first fixture, India's captain, Mithali Raj, played in her 192nd match, becoming the most capped player in WODIs.^[7] In the third and final match, she scored her 50th half-century in WODIs.^[4] It was the 56th time she had made a score of fifty or more, a new record in WODIs.^[8]
