India Women vs England Women, 1st T20I: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
India Women will face England Women in the first game of the three-match T20I series on Wednesday, December 6 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, have a young, but strong squad at their disposal. Shreyanka Patil and Saika Ishaque earned their maiden T20I call-ups after they impressed across formats over the last nine months.
Shreyanka performed brilliantly for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Women’s Premier League (WPL). She was also stupendous for India A in the Women’s Emerging Asia Cup.
Shreyanka also finished as the leading wicket-taker in the Women’s Caribbean Premier League (WCPL) while playing for the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Saika, on the other hand, grabbed the limelight after her impressive showing for the Mumbai Indians in the WCPL.
England earlier included left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone in their squad after she recovered from a shoulder injury that she sustained earlier this year. The focus will be on Bess Heath, who performed well for the Northern Superchargers in the Hundred.
Mahika Gaur, who recently made her debut for England after bidding adieu to the United Arab Emirates, will also be in action.
