ENG Women Team News & Playing 11
ENG-W Team News
This will be England Women’s first WODI since their 2-1 win away in New Zealand against the hosts last month. Once again Heather Knight will captain the side which has plenty of experience as there are no un-capped players in the team.
ENG-W Team Batting
England Women have a very strong batting line-up with the captain likely to come in at number three with Nat Sciver-Brunt at number four. Keeper-batter Amy Jones will bat at number seven and is a very talented player across all formats.
ENG-W Team Bowling
There was a wicket apiece for Kate Cross, Nat Sciver-Brunt and Sophie Ecclestone in England Women’s last WODI but we expect the pace of Lauren Filer to be important in this match. As ever, Ecclestone will be a big threat with her accurate left-arm spin bowling in this game.
ENG-W Team Form
England Women lost their last WODI but were unbeaten in their four previous games.

PAK Women Team News & Playing 11
PAK-W Team News
After losing the WT20I series 3-0 without really threatening to win any of the games, Pakistan Women may be focusing more on their overall performances rather than pulling out a victory in this match or series. Nida Dar will lead the side.
PAK-W Team Batting
There will be plenty of pressure for Sidra Ameen at the top of the order for Pakistan Women ahead of this game as she comes into this match with an impressive average of 42.44 from her last ten innings in this format. Fatima Sana is another player who England Women will target to dismiss early in this WODI.
PAK-W Team Bowling
Waheeda Akhtar, Diana Baig and Nida Dar were the top wicket takers for Pakistan Women across the three WT20Is and they are well placed to produce strong figures again in this opening WODI. Baig has taken 2x four-wicket hauls in her WODI career and should enjoy bowling on this surface in Derby.
PAK-W Team Form
Pakistan Women lost their last three WODIs against West Indies Women last month with all the games at home.
PAK Women Predicted Playing 11
Sidra Ameen, Ayesha Zafar, Sadaf Shamas, Aliya Riaz, Nida Dar (c), Fatima Sana, Diana Baig, Waheeda Akhtar, Muneeba Ali (wk), Sadia Iqbal, Tuba Hassan
🏆 ENG Women vs PAK Women Prediction
The WT20I series showed that there is a huge difference between England Women and Pakistan Women and we expect the hosts to be too strong once again. England Women have an excellent batting line-up and we are backing them to go 1-0 up in Derby on Thursday night.
