Here are some of the best bets for this England Women vs India Women 1st T20I match.
The new England skipper has been in sensational form in T20 cricket. Nat Sciver-Brunt has amassed 689 runs in the format this year at an average of 49 while striking at 145. She has registered six half-centuries in this period.
Smriti Mandhana has been in prolific form with the bat in recent months. She has piled on 383 runs in her last 10 T20 internationals at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 139. Manadhana looked in the warm-up fixture as well, scoring 47 off 28.
The Indian wicketkeeper batter bats down the order but can change the game in a few deliveries. Richa Ghosh smashed 37 off 23 in the warm-up game. Given her batting and keeping value, you can back her to get enough points.
The Trent Bridge, Nottingham, is an excellent venue for batting in white-ball cricket. High-scoring matches are a common theme here in T20 cricket. However, only one women’s T20I has been hosted here, which was back in 2009. If we look at the last six matches played here in the women’s Hundred competition, the first innings run-rate stands at around 7.90 runs per over.

England Women have dominated the head-to-head record against India Women in the shorter format. They have won 22 out of 30 encounters, whereas India have managed only eight wins. England lead the scoreline in the last five encounters by 4-1.
After Heather Knight stepped down from captaincy, Nat Sciver-Brunt took over the reins as England aim to rebuild their side. They played a white-ball series against the West Indies last month, sweeping the T20I leg by 3-0.
Knight will not be available after suffering a hamstring injury during the previous series. Paige Scholfield is expected to take her spot. Sophie Ecclestone and Lauren Filer return to the side, with Sarah Glenn missing out.
Possible XI: Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Sophia Dunkley, Natalie Sciver-Brunt (c), Paige Scholfield, Amy Jones (wk), Alice Capsey, Emily Arlott, Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell.
This series will be the first time India women will be playing in T20I cricket. Their last assignment was in December when they hosted the West Indies for a three-match series. India clinched the series by 2-1, winning the decider by 60 runs.
Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the side in this series. They have made quite a few changes to the side, with Shafali Verma, Sneh Rana, and Harleen Deol back in the fold. Arundhati Reddy and Shree Charani are likely to be the pace duo alongside all-rounder Amanjot Kaur.
Possible XI: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Amanjot Kaur, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Radha Yadav, Arundhati Reddy, Shree Charani.
