ENGW vs IND-W Match Prediction & Analysis

England Women bounce back to stay alive in the series as they beat the visitors by 5 runs at the Kennington Oval in London. With Harmanpreet Kaur and Amanjot Kaur at the crease, the hosts needed to defend 12 off 6 balls, and they pulled off a great win.

India Women were brilliant with the ball as they pulled themselves back into the game after the hosts put on a 137-run opening partnership. The visitors picked up 8 wickets for just 34 runs in the last 28 balls. That turned the game around completely and put India in a commanding position.

The two teams will meet at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester for the 4th T20I. The venue offers a balanced pitch and promises an even contest between bat and ball.

India’s top order is in great touch and, along with an in-form bowling attack, will play a key role in setting them up for a big score. Though England’s batting collapses continue, their recent death bowling performance has given them hope, and the skipper will be hoping to put the visitors under pressure in this game.

TEAMS PREVIEW

England Women Preview

Nat Sciver-Brunt was left out of the XI in the 3rd T20I, and Tammy Beaumont led the side in her absence. Though it was a batting-dominated game, England bowlers picked up wickets at crucial times to turn the game around.

The opposition was on their way to yet another victory, with a great start to the run chase, but the hosts were exceptional at the death, making it difficult for the new batters to settle down and score quickly.

Opening batters Sophia Dunkley and Danielle Wyatt-Hodge finally found their rhythm and scored a huge opening partnership. It is a great sign for England Women going into this match.

However, they need to put an end to the constant collapses. Alice Capsey, Paige Scholfield, and Amy Jones play a key role in the middle order. They need to build partnerships in the middle overs to carry the momentum set by the openers.

India Women Preview

India Women were close to clinching the series in the last game. With just 49 runs required from 41 balls with 8 wickets in hand, and Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur at the crease, India were staring at a 3-0 winning lead in the series.

However, after Mandhana’s wicket fell, Richa Ghosh failed to make an impact at number 5, and the scoring rate slowed down. The momentum shifted in England’s favor, and even the skipper couldn’t deliver an attacking knock to ensure a winning finish for the side.

As they go into the 4th match, India will be looking to solve their middle-order issues. Harmanpreet Kaur is an experienced batter in the middle and is expected to deliver better performances. Shafali Verma’s return to form is great news for the team, and along with Mandhana, she will be key to India’s batting returns.

The skipper must step up and deliver an impactful performance at number 4 if India has to dominate a run chase. She hasn’t been in good touch lately, and the likes of Richa Ghosh and Amanjot Kaur will have the finishing responsibility in this lineup.

The bowling attack looks promising. They have caused a collapse in every single match so far. Arundhati Reddy, Deepti Sharma, and Radha Yadav will be the key wicket-takers to watch out for. There is a great variety in this bowling attack, and even when the star players don’t shine, someone steps up to deliver key breakthroughs.

Weather Conditions

Though the weather forecast is for light rain during the day, there will be only cloudy skies around the match time with a high of 22 degrees Celsius in Manchester. The last T20 match here was affected by rain but we don’t see the same happening in this match.

ENGW vs IND-W Pitch Report

The Old Trafford has a balanced pitch that offers help for both batters and bowlers. There have been some high and low-scoring games recently at this venue. It will be a great contest between two well-matched teams with a solid bowling attack and a star-studded batting lineup. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 152 runs. However, for a match-winning total, the team batting first should aim for something around 175-180 runs.

Toss: To Bowl

Teams bowling first have won 5 of the last 10 T20 matches at this venue. Moreover, the last 3 Women’s T20 Blast matches were also won by the team bowling first. Considering their batting inconsistencies, the host might lean in favor of batting first and defending a total. However, we reckon India Women should back their bowlers to restrict the hosts to a small total.
