Preview:
After winning the ODI series 2-1, England Women got the perfect in the T20I series as well, as they won the 1st T20I. Batting first, they set a huge target of 178 in front of India Women and restricted them to 54 for 3, until rain halted the match. They were ahead of 18 runs by the D/L par score. They are leading the 3 match series 1-0 and would want to keep the same momentum for the 2nd T20I as well.
Meanwhile, India Women haven’t looked convincing at all. Except Shikha Pandey, all the bowlers leaked a lot of runs, which allowed the English batswoman to score runs easily. It’s a do-or-die game for them to stay in the contest.

Pitch Report:
It’s a balanced wicket, where both batswoman and bowlers will be rewarded for their efforts. There will be swing in the initial overs and later the batswoman should bat long to put a decent score on the board. Winning the toss and batting first is a preferable choice.

Top Picks for EN-W vs IN-W Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – England Women
Natalie Sciver was the player of the match in the 1st T20I for her brilliant all-round heroics. Coming at no. 3, she scored 55 runs from just 27 balls, and later on, got the important wicket of Smriti Mandhana.
Amy Jones batted aggressively and increased the run-rate in the middle-overs, until she was dismissed for 43 runs from 27 balls.
Top Picks – India Women
Shafali Verma had a rare failure in the 1st T20I, as she was dismissed for a duck in the 2nd ball of the innings. It is just a matter of time for the world no .1 T20 batswoman to get back in her groove.
