EN-W vs IN-W Dream11 Team Prediction: Preview

By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for India Women vs England Women match. We are covering IN-W vs EN-W Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20I match. The match is to be played at North Sound, Antigua.

England Women ended second on points table in Group A with two wins. They lost their last match to the hosts by four wickets. Batting first, Tammy Beaumont got the start but could not deliver a standout performance for the team. Sophie Dunkley Brown and Anya Shrubsole played good knocks of 35 and 29 respectively to lead the team to a respectable total of 115 after top order failure. Anya Shrubsole also starred with the ball taking three scalps but could not defend the target leading to a disappointing loss.

Team India is unbeaten yet in the tournament and ended on top of the points table in Group B. Their strong batting department, as well as a skilled spin attack, has made wonders for the team. In the last match, India defeated mighty Australia team. Smriti Mandhana showed her class with her 83 run knock and was supported by Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur who scored 43 runs to lead the team to a total of 167. India’s spin attack was at its best in defending the target and took all the ten wickets. They will hope to continue their winning streak and take revenge for last year’s ODI World cup final loss.

A good match can be expected between both top teams in tomorrow’s do-or-die encounter.
