Considering the recent form of England and their team on paper, the three lions should be able to win this match quite comfortably.
Nat Sciver-Brunt: Nat Sciver is one of the best going around in all forms of the game. England’s number four played a match winning unbeaten 40 in the first fixture against West Indies. She will be a safe captaincy choice going forward into this match.
Sophie Ecclestone: The conditions at Paarl gets better for spinners. Sophie Ecclestone is England’s frontline spinner and one of the best in the world. She will be a great captaincy choice as well ahead of this game. In addition, she is coming on the back off three wickets in the first game.
Orla Prendergast: The Irish all-rounder is in great form in the recent past. She will be another great captaincy choice for this match due to her all-round abilities. She picked two wickets and made runs with the bat in one of the warm-up games against Australia, helping her side to beat the five times champions.
Alice Capsey: Alice Capsey will be a great differential pick for this match. Her all-round abilities make her a must in your XI. However, not many teams have included her as of writing this. Keeping her in the XI will definitely make a difference to your points tally.
Arlene Kelly: Kelly was Ireland’s best bowler in the recent series against Pakistan. She will be another great differential pick for this match.
Danielle Wyatt: Wyatt is one of the first name in every fantasy XIs. However, looking at her recent poor form it is advisable to avoid picking her in the XI.
