England Women are favourites to win
The first semi-final of the Women’s Cricket competition as part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games brings England Women and India Women together on Saturday morning. England Women finished top of Group B with a 100% record, India Women came second in Group A winning two of their three games. Read on as we preview this semi-final. This match begins at 11:00 local time at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
England Women passed their first real test of the tournament with flying colours after defeating New Zealand by seven wickets on Thursday. They are on an excellent run of form and will be most pundit’s choice to win.
Just because India Women lost their opening game, they should not be considered a far weaker team than England Women. India Women crushed Barbados Women in their last game and will be full of confidence.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on BBC One and BBC Two.
Commonwealth Games 2022 Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the BBC iPlayer and Sony Liv App.
England Women have lost all three tosses with India Women winning only one so far. There will not be a huge difference in the conditions but we expect both captains to want to bat first.
The surface has offered more for the quicker bowlers as the tournament has progressed but it is still doing a lot for the spinners. We expect a par score of 165-170 in this match.
Partly cloudy with the temperature rising from 18 degrees to 22 degrees during the match.

The hosts have been able to name the same XI in each of their group stage games so far in the tournament with only Captain Heather Knight missing from their first choice side. It has been confirmed that Knight will miss the entire competition and the Women’s Hundred which follows.
England Women were very impressive in their win over previously undefeated New Zealand Women on Thursday. They are targeting their seventh WT20I win in a row in this game.
Danni Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver (c), Amy Jones (wk), Alice Capsey, Maia Bouchier, Katherine Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone, Freya Kemp, Issy Wong, Sarah Glenn
There have been 15 players used by India Women over the course of the tournament with Renuka Singh Thakur in fine form with the ball alongside Jemima Rodrigues with the bat. There are no injuries or player unavailability ahead of this semi-final.
India Women lost their opening game of the tournament to Australia Women but did give them a scare. They have followed up with successive wins.
Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Pooja Vastrakar, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Deepti Sharma, Radha Yadav, Sneh Rana, Meghna Singh, Renuka Singh Thakur
England Women have a healthy 17-5 lead over India Women in this format but recent games have been much closer. India Women have won two of the last five matches including a comfortable five wicket win in January 2020.

The hosts have been in excellent form on home soil not just in this tournament but also across the whole of the 2022 summer. The bookies have reflected this and have England Women as favourites.
Some of the biggest stars in Women’s Cricket will be on the pitch in this game and both teams will be full of self-belief after recent results. There is not a huge amount of difference between the talent available for both sides.
We are backing Danni Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey as our batting tips for England Women. Dunkley has not made her mark on this tournament yet but hit 217 runs over three internationals three weeks ago.
Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimia Rodrigues are our picks with the bat for India Women. Mandhana has a top score of 63 not-out in this campaign.
Sophie Ecclestone, Katherine Brunt and Issy Wong are our recommendations with the ball for England Women. Wong is developing into a fine white ball bowler and has many variations in her locker.
We expect Renuka Singh Thakur, Radha Yadav and Meghna Singh as our bowling picks for India Women. Yadav has three wickets from the last two matches.
Semi-finals in any sport are always a nervy affair, with the prize of getting through to the final creating a buzz around the players and supporters alike. We expect this game to be played at a very high level with both teams posting strong scores. Overall, we are backing England Women to win.
