TEAMS PREVIEW

England Women Preview

Tammy Beaumount (59 runs) and Heather Knight (30 runs) took charge of the match with a brilliant 75-run partnership after 2 quick wickets. But after both women fell in the space of two balls their batting order collapsed to Indian spin and poor running between the wickets to end at 140/8 in 20 overs.

England bowlers were taken to cleaners by Indian openers in first 4 overs but Nat Sciver (4-0-20-1) and Sophie Ecclestone (4-1-22-0) made a brilliant fight back with economical figures to bring their team back into the game. Freya Davies, Mady Villiers, and Sarah Glenn chipped in with a wicket each in the match.

Top Players to bet on:

Nat Sciver: Sciver was superb with the ball and in the field in the last game as she put on the brakes on the Indian openers. She was unluckily run-out with the bat and will look to make a telling contribution in this match.

Sophie Ecclestone: Sophie Went for 11 runs in her first over but made a brilliant comeback to finish with figures of 4-1-22-0. She even bowled a maiden against Shefali verma in the power play.

India Women Preview

India`s openers Shefali Verma (48 runs) and Smrirti Mandana (20 runs) started the match in aggressive fashion with their 70-run partnership. Harmanpret Kaur (31 runs) and Deepti Sharma (24 runs) then took the team to 148 runs in their 20 overs. India lack an aggressive finish to their innings with a lower order flourish.

Pacers Shikha Pandey, Arunthati Reddy, and left-arm spinner Radha Yadav were taken for runs in the first half of the innings as the trio had combined figures of 7-0-69-1 in the match. Spin Trio of Poonam Yadav, Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma took control of the match with combined figures of 12-0-56-3 to hand them a win by 8 runs. Indian fielding has been top notch in both games giving valuable support in both games (4 run-outs last game).

Top Players to bet on:

Shefali Verma: Shefali was splendid last night with 48 runs off 38 balls. She was at her destructive best in the power play and even hit 5 consecutive boundaries off Katherine Brunt`s single over.   

Deepti Sharma: Deepti Sharma had an all-round performance last game with 24 runs and 4-0-18-1 in the game. She will be big player for the Indian team both with the bat and ball.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Chelmsford has a better weather with bright sunshine and breezy weather expected. The rain has just 10-20% possibilities and we expect it stay away from the game.

Venue Details

Chelmsford is not an easy track to bat on as the pitch is expected to aid spinners and pacers as evident for T20 blast matches. Batters will need to adjust to the surface to score runs. The average scores in this match will be around 140-160 runs.

Toss: To Bat

Teams batting first won both the T20I games but teams opt to chase in both matches. We expect the trend to change and captains to bat first if they win the toss in this game.
