England Women vs India Women Match Prediction, 1st ODI – Who will win today’s match between ENG W vs IND W?
After winning the five-match T20I series 3-2, India will look to continue the momentum when they face England in three ODIs, starting on Wednesday, July 16.
6 Min Read
India (IND W) take on England (ENG W) in the first ODI in the three-match series on Wednesday, July 16, at The Rose Bowl in Southampton. This series will provide great preparation for the two teams ahead of the ODI World Cup, which is scheduled to be held in India and Sri Lanka in September-November.
India recently won the five-match T20I series against England by a 3-2 margin and will be high on confidence. The Women in Blue's most recent ODI assignment was a tri-series in Colombo featuring Sri Lanka and South Africa. India beat the hosts comprehensively by 97 runs to take the trophy.
Meanwhile, England will look to bounce back strongly after going down in the T20Is. They convincingly defeated the West Indies 3-0 in a three-match ODI series at home last month. The Nat Sciver-Brunt-led side is more lethal in the 50-over format, with a fine experience of youth and experience in the setup.

Pitch Report
The surface could be helpful for the seamers, especially when the ball is new. However, the spinners would come into play as the ball gets older. Winning the toss and opting to bat first could be the more fruitful option. Set batters will have to look to convert their starts into big scores.

Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter: Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana finished as the highest run-scorer in the T20I series, scoring 221 runs at an average of 44.20 and a strike rate of 137.27. She will now look to spearhead India's batting in the ODIs. If Smriti gets a start, she generally converts them into substantial scores and that will be important for the visitors.
Probable Best Bowler: Lauren Bell
Lauren Bell will hold the key for England with the new ball. The right-arm pacer picked up six wickets in four matches in the T20I series at an average of 18.83. If Bell can give England wickets at the top, it will help them put pressure on the Indian middle order.
