The T20I series between England and India will begin on September 10, Saturday at the Riverside Ground in Durham. Both teams would be looking to start on a high note as both are backed with good form and multiple wins from their previous international outings. But it looks to be a tad bit difficult for England given they’re out of their key players.

While India and England have named new players on their respective sides, looking to give them their debut cap, the hosts also have a major setback as neither Heather Knight, Nat Sciver or Katherine Brunt will be available for the series. India has just one trouble, that being Jemimah Rodrigues’ injury but even then, the Women in Blue have a tight squad.

ENG-W vs IND-W, 1st T20I, Pitch Report

The Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street has a nice playing surface for batters. Once everything is in place, the ball will strike neatly on the bat, and the batters will have a nice outing. If the batters get going early on by utilizing the opportunities at the pitch, scoring runs won't be a challenge. Anything above or near 160 can be defendable.

ENG-W vs IND-W, 1st T20I, Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

Smriti Mandhana:

Smriti Mandhana is coming off a great stint at The Hundred, and she was a part of the Southern Brave till the finale. Though her side ended up losing the tournament, Mandhana showcased some brilliant performances on the field and left everyone in awe. She is very accustomed to the English pitches and conditions now, and would look to continuing her good form.

Probable best bowler

Renuka Thakur:

Renuka Thakur’s abilities can not be doubted anymore. She can get the game going from the word go, and can get those quick and crucial wickets in the powerplay. What she did during the CWG 2022 was restricted to Edgbaston pitches. Working her magic at a different surface might look difficult, but she will rise up to the occasion and give her best.
