England Women are favorites to win
England Women dominated their Pakistani counterparts in the recently concluded ODI series by winning it 2-0. Had it been the weather on their side, they could have won the last 3rd match also to complete the clean sweep.
Considering the performance of the Pakistani team in the ODIs, it seems like a daunting task ahead of them in the T20 series against England. Even though England will be playing T20s after a long hiatus, their team is a formidable unit to take on any opposition. In the recently concluded Women’s Big Bash League, England players showcased their talents in all aspects of the game. So it is very difficult to visualize Pakistan Women surprising the viewers by winning the T20 tournament.

Toss could be a crucial factor at this venue. Both the teams will look to chase in the T20 game as the teams chasing in this venue have an upper hand over the teams batting first with a 12-8 win-loss record.
The weather forecast for the first T20 match shows heavy clouds in the sky with an 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Kinrara Oval, Kuala Lumpur is an out and out batting pitch, with England team posting a score of 280+ in both the matches played there. So we can expect scores around 140-160 in the match.

In comparison to the ODI team that played against England, Pakistan is highly unlikely to change their squad. Their current lineup of players struggled to get settled in the English conditions and their performance in the ODI series could be the required wakeup call for the team to perform in the T20s.
Bismah Maroof: The current skipper Bismah Maroof will have to play a pivotal role with the bat if Pakistan wants to pose a serious challenge to the England team. It is also important to note that all other batters except the skipper, struggled to find runs.
Anam Amin: Anam is the highest-ranked bowler in the Pakistan team. Though she didn’t bowl in the ODI series, she will be expected to deliver in the T20s.
The Pakistan team was dismal in the ODI series. They lost the first two matches without creating any serious trouble for the England team. While in the 3rd match, they should thank the weather for disrupting the match and saving them from a clean sweep series defeat.

England played like champions in the ODI series and they will be expected to easily win the T20 series as well. The upcoming series serves as a good opportunity for the team to test different combinations for the T20 World Cup in 2020.
Fran Wilson: Wilson played the role of afterburner in the 2nd ODI against Pakistan by scoring an 85-ball century. Her knock consisted of 8 boundaries and 3 sixes. She is going to be an important player in the upcoming T20 series.
Anya Shrubsole: Anya was consistent with the bowl in the ODI series. Her ability to keep the runs in check while taking wickets at consistent intervals will be handy in the T20 series.
England has been playing superbly. Their batters – Tammy Beaumont, Natalie Sciver, and Heather Knight scored consistently and helped their team set up big totals to defend. The England team will come to all guns firing against the inexperienced Pakistan team.

The head to head records shows that England has been the heavily dominated side between the two teams. Both the teams have competed in 10 T20s so far with England winning on 9 occasions and Pakistan having a single victory.
The Pakistan Women are still inexperienced against the much stronger England team. Although we expect the Pakistan team to play better in the shorter format, still England will overpower them in all aspects of the game. We predict a clean sweep for England Women unless Pakistan Women really play out of their skin.
