ENG-W Team News
Although England Women come into this match with the chance to wrap up a series win at the earliest opportunity, there is plenty of room for improvement from their win in Derby on Thursday. Heather Knight will be expecting stronger performances with both bat and ball in Taunton.
ENG-W Team Batting
The overall total of 243/9 was under-par for England Women in the opening game and the team management will be encouraging the batters to be greedier in this match and make their starts count. On Thursday, all of the top seven made scores of 17+ but no one went over 44! We also expect to see more six hitting from the top order.
ENG-W Team Bowling
With the ball, England Women will have been pleased to have contributed to the win in Derby but they will be looking to bowl Pakistan Women out in this game after taking only nine wickets in the first game. Left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone will be a threat even if the pitch isn’t responsive and Lauren Bell will cause problems with her height.
ENG-W Team Form
England Women have lost only one of their last six WODIs.
ENG Women Predicted Playing 11
Maia Bouchier, Tammy Beaumont, Alice Capsey, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight (c), Amy Jones (wk), Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Kate Cross, Charlie Dean, Lauren Bell
PAK Women Team News & Playing 11
PAK-W Team News
Although Pakistan Women will be pleased that they were able to restrict England Women to a victory by only 37 runs in the opening match of the series, they will know that they did something similar in the WT20Is before losing easily in the last two. Consistency will be key for the tourists in this WODI.
PAK-W Team Batting
Only three batters for Pakistan Women were able to hit three boundaries in the first WODI and we expect the team management to encourage the whole side to play more shots in this match. Sadaf Shamas impressed at the top of the order and will be key again in this WODI.
PAK-W Team Bowling
With the ball, captain Nida Dar again impressed as did Nashra Sandhu, Umm-e-Hani and Aliya Riaz. Pakistan Women’s opening pair, Fatima Sana and Diana Baig were quite expensive and keeping the runs down in the opening overs will be a priority in Taunton.
PAK-W Team Form
Pakistan Women will need to improve with bat and ball from Tuesday’s game and they have now lost four WODIs in a row.
PAK Women Predicted Playing 11
Sidra Ameen, Sadaf Shamas, Muneeba Ali, Aliya Riaz, Ayesha Zafar, Nida Dar (c), Fatima Sana, Najiha Alvi (wk), Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Umm-e-Hani
🏆 ENG Women vs PAK Women Prediction
England Women were disappointed with their overall showing in the opening match of the series and we expect a vast improvement, particularly with the bat, in this game. Pakistan Women have a team who are improving and are capable of strong moments but are not of a high enough level to compete across 100 overs. We are predicting another win for England Women.
