EN-W vs IN-W: After India's men's team, it is time for India's women's cricket team to tour England, where the two teams will compete in five T20Is and three ODIs. The action will begin as the two teams will be up against each other in the first T20 international on June 28 (Saturday).
This contest will be hosted at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, with a scheduled start of 7 PM IST. Harmanpreet Kaur and her team have been playing a T20I series since December 2024. So, they might be short of game time. Though these Indian cricketers played and performed well in the Women's Premier League 2025, international cricket is totally different.
England Women have been pretty successful in the recent home series against West Indies Women, where they registered clean sweeps in both ODIs and T20Is. Nat Sciver-Brunt will look to carry on her good start as captain and start this tour with a win.

EN-W vs IN-W: Pitch Report
The surface at Trent Bridge is a flat wicket, which produces bounce and pace, which helps the batters to hit the ball on the up. This venue has hosted 15 T20Is so far, with the team batting first having won 9 games and the chasing side having won 6. The outfield is likely to be good, and this venue produced some high-scoring games in the ongoing T20 Blast 2025.

EN-W vs IN-W: Dream11 Team
· Wicket-keepers: Richa Ghosh, Amy Jones
· Batters: Smriti Mandhana (Vice Captain), Harmanpreet Kaur, Shafali Verma, Danni Hodge
· All-rounders: Alice Capsey, Nat Sciver Brunt (Captain)
· Bowlers: Lauren Bell, Sophie Ecclestone, Arundhati Reddy
Dream11 Prediction: England Women have been a very strong team to beat in their own conditions. Adding to that, their record against India Women has been very good, and they will be confident of beating the visitors. The last T20I India played was in December 2024, almost seven months ago.
That can affect the coordination of the team. Though India have an experienced side, their bowling looks slightly weaker as compared to England. The hosts have a great combination, and they will start this game as favorites.
