England Women vs India Women 1st T20 Match Prediction
England Women and India Women kick-start their preparations for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup when they face each other and hosts Australia in a Tri Series. The first match, between England and India, takes place on January 31 and the live action gets underway at 14:10 local time.
England go into the game having beaten India in all three T20i matches when they toured last March, with their bowlers in particularly impressive form.
Both teams are among the favourites for the World Cup, however – though both need to prove they can step it up and match Australia in this tournament.

Pitch Condition
Both BBL matches at Canberra were cut short – one by smog and one by rain – but the pitch generally looked well balanced with a good pace to it.

Sophie Ecclestone: The 20-year-old spin bowler took six wickets in the three WT20i matches against Pakistan to move to 37 wickets in 26 T20 internationals.
Danni Wyatt: In fine form at the Women’s Big Bash League and she continued that by hitting a half-century in her 100th T20 international during the series against Pakistan.
ENGW Team Form
England beat Pakistan in all three WT20i matches to make it four wins in a row in the format. Amy Jones starred with the bat, hitting two half-centuries, while Sophie Ecclestone’s six wickets were central to their success too – winning comfortably by 29 runs, 84 runs and 26 runs in the three matches.

INDW Team News
Harmanpreet Kaur leads a strong Indian line-up, that has been fairly settled in their previous series. After some rotation towards the end of the 5-0 series whitewash against West Indies, Kaur and Deepti Sharma will all be among the players to return.
INDW Key Players
Smriti Mandhana: Closing in on 1,500 T20i runs, having hit ten half-centuries in the format so far. That includes the 107 runs she scored in the series win against West Indies.
Harmanpreet Kaur: The iconic captain had less impact on the recent West Indies series but her record of 2,038 runs and 29 wickets, with the perfect all-rounders ratio, shows why she has become so revered.
Deepti Sharma: The 22-year-old was in fine form in 2019, which included her eight wickets in four matches against West Indies in their last WT20i series. She took 4-10 in the second match, and now has 42 wickets in the format at an average of 18.07.
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.

ENG Women vs IND Women Head to Head
England beat India in the semi-finals of the last T20 World Cup, and followed that up with three wins from three when they toured India the following March. They have won 14 of their 17 T20 international meetings in total. The most recent match proved to be a low-scoring thriller, however, as India restricted England to just 119/6. In reply, Kate Cross took wickets with the fourth and fifth balls of the final over and a single off the final ball was not enough for India – who finished on 118/6.
