IND-W vs ENG-W: Winning Prediction & Top Performers

As the World Cup enters its 20th match with great enthusiasm, the Indian women will play against the English women tomorrow. As per their previous form, England is taking a step without losing a match; therefore, they have a higher chance of winning. Meanwhile, India, at the start, showcased an outstanding execution, but a lack of consistency has made the team weaker. The bowlers and top-order still struggle to perform well. Consequently, they should consider executing a plan under pressure. For India, Batters like Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur are expected to display a remarkable performance. All-rounder Deepti Sharma can control the middle overs with her bowling capacity. Sneh Rana will help to take the crucial wickets.

 

As for England, they are unbeatable. They defeated South Africa, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. However, the clash between England and Pakistan was abandoned without a result due to rain. If they balance their aggression and consistency against India, they will have a high chance of winning the game. For England, all-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt and opener Danni Wyatt will contribute with their aggressive batting. Top left arm Spinner Sophie Ecclestone and pacer Kate Cross will continue taking important wickets for England.
