Australia Women vs England Women 2nd T20 Match Prediction
England suffered a five-wicket loss in the opening game and will look to bounce back when they next face hosts Australia. The second match of the Women's T20I tri-series is scheduled to be played on February 1 at the same venue - the Manuka Oval in Canberra. Live telecast will begin at 2:10 PM local time.
England have not begun the series in the way they would have liked. They were clearly below-par with the bat last time, scoring only 147 on a pitch that looked good for batting. Defending that total was always going to be a tough ask and they eventually conceded the game with three balls to spare. This is going to be a crucial game for the Heather Knight-led side as a loss here will make it very difficult for them to reach the final. Australia, on the other hand, have been in top form in this format and they will be looking to get their T20 World Cup preparations underway on a positive note.

Toss Prediction
Both the T20Is played at this venue have been won by the side batting second. And since the pitch is unlikely to change after the first-half, the team that wins the toss here will probably prefer to chase.
Weather Report
Clear skies and plenty of sunshine is what has been forecast for this second T20I. It will be very hot during the day with temperatures expected to be around 40 degrees Celsius throughout the match.
Pitch Condition
The previous game between England Women and India Women was only the second T20 international hosted by the Manuka Oval. The pitch has looked pretty good for batting in both the matches and a similar surface is likely to be prepared for this match.

AUS Women Team News & Playing 11
AUSW Team News
There were earlier doubts over Ashleigh Gardner's participation in the series after suffering a concussion during Sunday's practice session. But the all-rounder has now been declared fit for Australia's opening game against England. Pace bowler Tayla Vlaeminck also seems to have fully recovered from her ACL strain and is expected to feature in the starting eleven on Saturday. All-rounder Erin Burns, however, might not be available for this game as she is still recovering from her knee injury.
AUSW Key Players
Meg Lanning: The Australia skipper is the second-best batter in the world in Women's T20I cricket. She is the leading run-getter for her side in this format and has two hundreds and 13 fifties to her name.
Alyssa Healy: She has been the in-form batter for Australia for the past couple of years and will look to make an impact at the top of the order early on in the series. The wicketkeeper topped the runs chart with 212 runs in the previous T20I series against Sri Lanka.
Megan Schutt: She is the number one ranked bowler in Women's T20I cricket and is Australia's second-highest wicket-taker in the format with 71 wickets at an economy of 5.83. The fast bowler will look to inflict some early damage on England in the powerplay.
AUSW Recent Form
Australia Women have been brilliant of late in the twenty-over format of the game. They have won 10 of their last 11 T20 internationals including the last six straight. After beating England 2-0 in the Women's Ashes last year, the Aussies have recorded back-to-back series sweeps - against the West Indies (3-0) in West Indies and against Sri Lanka (3-0) at home in their most recent T20I assignment.

ENG Women Team News & Playing 11
ENGW Team News
England are not carrying any injuries with them into this game and will have the entire squad at their disposal. However, they are not expected to make any changes to their side despite losing the series opener to India as they are already playing their best eleven. Amy Ellen Jones and Danielle Wyatt will open the batting while Sophie Ecclestone and Katherine Brunt will probably share the new ball again.
ENGW Key Players
Danielle Wyatt: She is one of the leading run-scorers for England in T20Is. The aggressive opener had an impressive WBBL season with Melbourne Renegades and she just loves batting on Australian pitches.
Sophie Ecclestone: She has jumped to number four in the ICC Women's T20I bowling rankings and is a key player in the team's bowling group. The left-arm spinner has taken 38 wickets in 27 matches.
Heather Knight: The skipper is coming off an impressive outing in the series opener against India where she earned the 'Player of the Match' award for her all-round performance. Knight smashed a 44-ball 67 before picking up a wicket with the ball.
ENGW Recent Form
Like Australia, England Women too have been very impressive in T20I cricket. They have played 14 matches in this format since the start of last year and have won 11 of them. England came into this series on the back of a convincing 3-0 whitewash of Pakistan in Malaysia in December. They were on a four-match winning streak before going down to India in the opening match of the ongoing tri-series on Friday.

🏆 AUS Women vs ENG Women Prediction
After an early setback in the series, England Women find themselves under some pressure and they will be desperate to secure a win here. Heather Knight's girls will take heart from the fact that they have beaten Australia at this venue four times in five meetings. However, the Aussies are the number one ranked team in T20Is and are showing exceptional form in this format. The hosts are a power-packed unit and they have been very tough to beat in their own conditions. Although England too have a few match-winners in their side, we expect Australia to start off with a win.
