In this article, we will be analyzing the IND-W vs ENG-W Match Prediction for the 1st T20I. India and England square off in the first T20I of a highly-anticipated three-match series on Wednesday, December 6, at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The Indian team will be playing their first T20I after winning the gold medal at the Asian Games in September. Jemimah Rodrigues was the star performer in the competition for India. She scored 109 runs in three games. With the ball, Pooja Vastrakar was joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with five wickets in three games.
Meanwhile, England played their most recent T20I game against Sri Lanka at home in September. They won the first T20I before the Chamari Athapaththu-led side defeated them in the next two games to take the series 2-1. England would want to bounce back strongly after the upset against Sri Lanka but their task will not be easy against a buoyant Indian side.
In a recent T20I match, New Zealand Women locked horns with Pakistan Women in the 2nd Match. Cricket fans were glued to their seats throughout the match as both teams displayed their prowess and the true spirit of Women’s T20I.

Probable Best Performers:
Probable Best Batter:
Harmanpreet Kaur (India):
The experienced campaigner played for the Melbourne Renegades in the recently concluded Women’s Big Bash League. The team finished last on the points table but Harmanpreet looked in decent touch, finishing with 321 runs in 14 games at an average of 29.18. Her prowess against spin bowling is well documented and she would hold the key for the home side in the middle overs.
