England are a force to be reckoned with at the World Cup and are on a 12-match winning run in all formats. However, they did lose a series at home to India last year, giving India a psychological edge.

However, India can't let their guards down with no injury reported in the English camp yet and will have their best playing 11 in front.

Opener Sophia Dunkley has been scoring runs at a canter during this England's unbeaten run did fail in her last innings against Ireland with an innings of mere four runs. Her partner Dani Wyatt has endured a slump in form as she hasn't been able to convert her 15-20 starts into big knocks.

No. 3 Alice Capsey, however, was in full swing in the last game against the Windies with a half-century in just 20 deliveries.

All-rounder Nat Sciver-Brunt was promoted up the order by captain Heather Knight and she made the most of it with an innings of 30-ball 40 against England but could only score 4 runs against Ireland.

Skipper Knight herself hasn't scored much in the format off late but did manage a 22-ball 32 against Windies.

Among bowlers, left-arm orthodox Sophie Ecclestone has been on fire with nine wickets in the last three games. Leg spinner Sarah Glenn has been relishing the South African conditions as well with eight wickets in her last four games. Charlie Dean has been effective as the third spinner with three wickets in the group stages.

Among pacers, Katherine Sciver-Brunt and Lauren Bell have been picking wickets as well but not in a bunch.

Indian batting order got the boost with Smriti Mandhana returning to playing 11 for the last game. She didn't fire in the game but Shafali Verma on the other end continued with her form with back-to-back 25-plus innings. The explosive opener, however, is expected of a bigger knock, especially after her U-19 World Cup triumph as a captain in the same country.

Jemimah Rodrigues had an off day against Windies after consecutive powerful knocks, including a half century in win against Pakistan. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, on the other hand, returned to form with a 33-run knock during the chase in the last game.

Richa Ghosh has now become the lower middle-order mainstay with a 32-ball 44* to complete the chase and was in the same vein as her 20-ball 31* against Pakistan. Not to forget her 91* in the warm-up.

Indian bowling hasn't been as effective as England's but have a quality of their own. Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav have been calling shots among Indian bowlers with the duo setting new milestones in Indian cricket. Deepti has taken four wickets in two games while Radha took two wickets against Pakistan.

Among pacers, the story is no dissimilar to English bowling as Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar have been effective but failed to pick wickets in bunch.

EN-W vs IN-W pitch report India vs England women's

The last two matches at the venue have been low-scoring affairs with less than 250 runs scored each. However, both matches had an in-form Australia steamrolling struggling Bangladesh and surprise performers Sri Lanka with their quality bowling.

Anything above 160 is considered a strong total on the surface while the venue often sees totals below 150s. The pitch has bounced on the offer with the pacers getting an early advantage. However, there's run on the surface if you see out initial overs as the boundaries are not that big and the outfield is fast.

Wicketkeeper R Ghosh
Batter S Dunkley, J Rodrgiues, S Verma
All-rounder D Sharma, A Capsey, N Sciver
Bowler S Ecclestone, S Glenn, C Dean, R Yadav

Captain and vice-captain choices S Dunkley has been in real good form with the bat while Rodrigues has been shining with the bat as well. Richa Ghosh down the order is a smart choice as she may have to bat again. S Ecclestone is in hot form with the ball while A Capsey is another wise choice as well.
