EN-W vs IN-W Prediction: After a hard fought draw in the only Test match, India Women will be up against England Women here at Bristol. Both teams will be eyeing next year’s World Cup likely to be held in similar conditions. Defending champions England are strong at home but they will be aware of an Indian side which can be dangerous on their day. They will expect experienced players like Heather Knight, Nat Sciver and Anya Shrubsole to lead the team from the front.
Meanwhile, India has some highly talented players in the mix. Opener Shafali Verma proved in the Test match that she is not only made for T20 cricket. Veterans Mithali Raj and Harmanpreet Kaur are the backbone of their middle order. Poonam Yadav is expected to return as she is an important part of the white ball set-up.
