EN-W vs IN-W Dream11 Prediction: ENG Women vs IND Women 2nd T20I Fantasy Team, H2H Record, Playing XI

EN-W vs IN-W Dream11 Prediction: The 2nd T20I between England Women and India Women is set for July 1, 2025, at the County Ground, Bristol, starting at 6:30 PM local time (11:00 PM IST).

India lead the five-match series 1-0 after a commanding 97-run victory in the first T20I at Trent Bridge, where stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana’s maiden T20I century (112 off 62) and debutant Shree Charani’s 4/12 dismantled England.

Buoyed by their dominant performance, India will aim to seal an unassailable series lead. Mandhana, in scintillating form, is likely to continue her aggressive batting, while Harleen Deol’s quickfire 43 off 23 in the first game adds depth. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who missed the opener due to a head injury, is expected to return, boosting the batting lineup. The bowling unit, led by Charani, Deepti Sharma, and Radha Yadav, exploited spin-friendly conditions effectively, and they’ll look to replicate their disciplined approach, bowling slower to counter Bristol’s potentially windy conditions. However, India will miss pace bowlers Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar due to injuries, relying on Arundhati Reddy and debutants like Kranti Gaud.

England face a must-win scenario after their heaviest T20I defeat. Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt (66 off 42) was the lone bright spot in a batting collapse, with the team struggling against India’s spinners (8/72 in 10.5 overs). Their bowling and fielding were sloppy, with dropped catches and expensive spells, though Lauren Bell’s 3/27 was a highlight. Sophie Ecclestone, returning from a break, was costly (1/44), and England may consider tweaking their bowling strategy or bringing in Charlie Dean for extra spin control. The batting needs contributions from Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Tammy Beaumont, and Alice Capsey to counter India’s spin threat and chase or set a competitive total on a batting-friendly Bristol pitch.

Pitch and Conditions

The County Ground, Bristol, typically offers a balanced surface, with an average first innings score of around 166 in T20s. Pace bowlers have taken 55.35% of wickets here, but India’s spinners could again exploit any turn. Clear weather is expected with temperatures around 24°C and moderate humidity (53%), though wind may play a role, as India used it effectively in the first game.

Head-to-Head

England lead the overall T20I record 22-8, but India’s recent form (5 wins since 2020) and the first match’s result give them momentum. In England, the record is 8-4 in England’s favor.

Probable Playing XIs

• India Women: Smriti Mandhana (VC), Shafali Verma, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (C, if fit), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Sneh Rana, Shree Charani.
• England Women: Nat Sciver-Brunt (C), Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Tammy Beaumont, Alice Capsey, Amy Jones (wk), Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell, Em Arlott, Linsey Smith, Lauren Filer.

Prediction

India’s momentum, Mandhana’s form, and spin dominance make them favorites. England need sharper fielding and a better batting plan against spin to bounce back. If Harmanpreet returns, India’s batting will be even stronger. Expect India to win and take a 2-0 lead unless England’s top order fires.
