ENG-W vs IND-W Betting Tips
Harmanpreet Kaur to score over 19.5 runs
Harmanpreet Kaur is among the most consistent and experienced batters for India. She has scored at least 20 runs in four of her last five outings, including a half-century. She has an average of over 21 in her 30 innings against England. Seeing her form, we are backing Harmanpreet to play a good knock.
Highest individual score - Over 62.5
The pitch at Chelmsford is usually good to bat on. Four of the last six matches played here have seen at least one individual score of 63 or more runs. As both teams have some quality batters, we expect that trend to continue.

ENG-W vs IND-W Team Previews
England Women
England is coming into this contest on the back of a 2-1 victory over New Zealand, and will be feeling pretty confident as it faces India in its backyard. Their recent record against India hasnāt been the best, and the team will look to give its best in this tournament.
England has retained all the players who were part of the series against New Zealand and will hope they can deliver a similar result here. Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey are likely to open the batting here and will look to give England a strong start.
As Nat Sciver-Brunt continues to miss out due to an injury, the hosts are likely to include Maia Bouchier to strengthen their middle order. Bouchier will be joined by Amy Jones, while the all-rounders, including Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, and Charlie Dean will add depth to the batting.
Coming to the bowling, England boasts of a strong and well-balanced attack. Linsey Smith and Charlie Dean, are both in good form and will continue to lead the spin department along with Sophie Ecclestone. Isabella Wong and Freya Kemp will lead the attack with the new ball, joined by Heather Knight.

India Women
The Indian Womenās team hasnāt been in the best of form, especially when it comes to the white-ball format. They are coming into this tournament on the back of a 4-1 loss against South Africa last month and will hope to put up a better performance here.
With one eye on the upcoming T20 World Cup, India has named a full-strength squad. Harmanpreet Kaur will continue to lead the team and will also be a vital cog in the middle order. She will be joined by Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, and Yastika Bhatia.
Shafali Verma has been the teamās best batter this year and is likely to retain her place at the top of the order. She will be joined by Smriti Mandhana. Together, they will look to give India a strong start. India has a couple of quality all-rounders in Deepti Sharma and Shree Charani, who can play the big shots during the death overs.
Shree Charani is in excellent form with the ball as well and has picked up 9 wickets in the last 7 games. She will be joined by Shreyanka Patil in the spin department. India is likely to persist with its tested pace attack made up of Renuka Singh Thakur and Arundhati Reddy. They will look to pick up early wickets with the new ball.

ENG-W vs IND-W Toss Prediction
In each of the last four matches played here, the team winning the toss opted to field first. We expect that trend to continue.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
We are expecting a balanced surface for this match. The pitch is flat and has an even covering of grass. The seamers can expect some assistance when the ball is new. However. Once the batters settle down, playing shots gets easier. While the average first-inning score here is around 137, the team batting first will look to score at least 160 runs to give the bowlers something to work with.
The weather is likely to remain cloudy with pleasant temperatures. We can expect light showers during the evening.
ENG-W vs IND-W: Who Will Win?
Both teams have strong squads at their disposal, making it difficult to predict a winner for this match. Nevertheless, we are backing England W to win this match. They played well during the recent series against New Zealand and will be feeling confident. On the other hand, India may find it difficult to adjust to the conditions.
Bet on England Women to win this match.
ENG-W vs IND-W win percentage stands at 53% in favor of ENG-W.
