EN-W vs IN-W: India Women have dominated the first half of their England tour and registered a historic 3-2 series win in T20Is. Though they lost two of the last three games, they will head into the ODI series with momentum on their side. The upcoming ODI series will see the first game taking place at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.
The match is scheduled to start on Wednesday at 5:30 PM. Harmanpreet Kaur and her team will hope to replicate the success in T20Is into the ODI series. But they will have the challenge of a bit longer format. The dynamics will change and India have to be consistent throughout 100 overs.
England will welcome their biggest match-winner and captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt, back from injury. She missed three T20Is due to injury but is back leading her team in the series. That will boost England's chance. They have a few more players returning back, and it is going to be a great game between two good teams.

· Batters: Smriti Mandhana,
· All-rounders: Alice Capsey, Prtika Rawal, Nat Sciver Brunt (Captain), Amanjot Kaur (Captain), Deepti Sharma
· Bowlers: Shree Charani Lauren Bell, Sophie Ecclestone
Dream11 Prediction: England might struggle with the form of their batters. They have a strong bowling unit, but it was their batting which didn't work well. But India have a more settled unit, which has almost all the bases covered.
The Indian batting is in good form, and they did well in the T20Is. Bowlers have also used the conditions well. It will be a tight contest, but because India are coming with momentum, they have a good chance to start the ODI series with a win.
