England Women vs India Women Match Prediction, 2nd T20
England Women and India Women start the second phase of fixtures in this Tri Series, in which they are also joined by hosts Australia. The match takes place at the CitiPower Centre in St Kilda, Melbourne, on February 7 and the live action gets underway at 14:10 local time.
India opened the tournament by beating England by five wickets in Canberra – reaching 150/5 in 19.3 overs thanks to Harmanpreet Kaur’s batting efforts. England hit back last time out, however, as in-form Heather Knight posted her second consecutive half-century in a total of 156/4 against Australia and then starred as England won a super over.
India, on the other hand, posted just 103/9 against the hosts in their second game as Ellyse Perry’s all-round heroics led Australia to a comfortable four-wicket win.

Toss Prediction
England lost the toss in both of the first two matches of this series and, after being asked to bat first on both occasions, might want to field first this time as they look to finetune their World Cup preparations.
Weather Report
St Kilda will be warm but cloudy on Friday, with humidity quite high in the afternoon. There is virtually no chance of rain, however.
Pitch Condition
The CitiPower Centre was used several times at the Women’s Big Bash League and the trend there was for a generally good batting wicket but not one which took too much away from the bowlers. A score of 150+ would be a good mark.

ENG Women Team News & Playing 11
ENGW Team News
Freya Davies replaced Anya Shrubsole in the starting line-up last time out, while Kate Cross, Georgia Elwiss and Mady Villiers are yet to feature. All three are likely to be used at some point in one or both of these next two fixtures, however, with one eye on the World Cup.
ENGW Key Players
Heather Knight: In fine form in this series so far, the England captain has been named man of the match in both games after scores of 67 from 44 balls and 78 from 45.
Amy Jones: Came into this series in good form, scoring two half-centuries against Pakistan in Malaysia, and she will be keen to continue to thrive having starred Down Under at the WBBL too.
Sophie Ecclestone: Fairly consistent so far, the 20-year-old has taken her 38th and 39th T20i wickets and kept things tight with her spin bowling in both games too.
ENGW Team Form
England lost to India first up, despite Heather Knight’s 67 from 44 balls and some late hitting from Tammy Beaumont (37) lifting them to 147/7. Katherine Brunt took two wickets in reply, but India got home with five wickets and three balls to spare.
Next, England faced Australia and Knight hit 78 in a total of 156/4. Nat Sciver and Sarah Glenn both took three wickets and bowled well but Australia’s late hitting forced a super over. Sophie Ecclestone kept things tight for England, however, and Heather Knight’s two boundaries ensured they won with two balls to spare.

IND Women Team News & Playing 11
INDW Team News
Arundhati Reddy came into the team last time out, replacing Pooja Vastrakar, but she failed to complete her third over and is an injury doubt now. Poonam Yadav has been a T20 regular before this series and so she could be the latest replacement, but Harleen Deol, Richa Ghosh and Nuzhat Parween are also yet to be involved.
INDW Key Players
Smriti Mandhana: Scored 35 from 23 balls at the top of the order last time out, including two sixes, as she passed 1,500 T20i runs – a tally which includes ten half-centuries in the format.
Harmanpreet Kaur: Starred when these teams last met, as she led India to victory with an unbeaten 42 from 34 balls. She followed that with a patient 28 last time out but she could not keep the run-rate up.
Deepti Sharma: Took 2-30 in the opening game and 1-18 from her four overs in the second match to continue her good T20i bowling form. The all-rounder also scored valuable lower-order runs to get India home when these teams last met.
INDW Team Form
India have been in dominant form in their last two T20i series, beating South Africa 3-1 – losing only the final match of that series – before a 5-0 series whitewash against West Indies. Shafali Verma hit back-to-back half-centuries as India won the first two matches and eventually finished the series with 158 runs, while Deepti Sharma topped the wicket-taking charts with eight in total.
