ENG-W vs IND-W 1st T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

India Women will take on hosts England Women in the first T20I of the 3-match T20I series at the Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street on Saturday, September 10. Harmanpreet Kaur who recently led India to a Silver medal at the first ever Women's T20 tournament at the CWG 2022 in Birmingham, will be seen leading the Women in Blue. Nat Sciver will captain the England Women. England have won three of their last five T20Is, however, they will be entering the match on the back of two consecutive defeats in the format. India have also won three of their last five matches in the format. Both the teams have won two matches each in their last four T20I encounters against each other. Overall, the two sides have locked horns against each other in the format 23 times. India are trailing 6-17 in the head-to-head tally. As we gear up for the first T20I, I have brought to you the best three betting tips from the ENG-W vs IND-W 1st T20I head-to-head encounter.

ENG-W vs IND-W Team Bet:

India Women to win

India Women might have lost 17 of their 23 matches against England, but the equations have changed since the start of 2022. During the period, India Women have won three and lost three matches. All the wins have come in overseas conditions. The two sides recently met at the Commonwealth Games 2022 as India Women held their nerves to seal a 4-run win and book a spot in the Gold medal match. The win was India's first win in a women's T20I knockout game outside Asia Cups. In the match, Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues fired India to 164/5 in 20 overs before top spells from spinners Sneh Rana, Deepti Sharma and pacer Pooja Vastrakar choked England and restricted them to 160/6 at the end of 20 overs. The likes of Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur have become global T20 names after featuring in The Hundred and the Big Bash League (BBL). They already had enough experience and the exposure of playing T20 cricket in foreign conditions of England and Australia have made them dangerous batters.

The team also has dangerous spinners in Sneh Rana, Deepti Sharma and Radha Yadav. Pacers Renuka Singh, Meghna Singh and Pooja Vastrakar have also rocked the opposition in recent times. Notably, Renuka was the highest wicket-taker at the CWG 2022. She picked 11 wickets in 5 matches. Rana was joint fourth-highest on the list with seven wickets. In the ICC T20I ranking for women's batter, there are no players from England in the top ten list. India, on the other hand, Mandhana at 4th, Shafali at 6th and Jemimah at 10th. The absence of Katherine Brunt, the number second ranked T20I women's bowler in the world, will further help India's cause. Having recently performed brilliantly at the CWG 2022 in England, India are the more confident side entering the side and it will be no surprise if they take an early 1-0 lead on Saturday. If you feel the same, proceed to 1XBET and grab the odds of 2.322 for India Women to win from the ENG-W vs IND-W head-to-head encounter.

ENG-W vs IND-W Player Bets:

Smriti Mandhana and Danni Wyatt are my top two player betting tips for the ENG-W vs IND-W 1st T20I. Have a look at it for reaping the best returns.

Smriti Mandhana to score over 22.5 runs

India Women vice-captain Smriti Mandhana is currently the 4th ranked women's T20I batter in the world. She has scored a total of 2192 runs in 74 T20Is at an average of 26.40 and a strike rate of 121.98. She has 16 fifties to her name in the format. Mandhana was India's top-scorer and third overall at the CWG 2022. She scored 159 runs in five matches at an average of 39.75 and a strike rate of 151.42. She hit two fifty in the historic tournament. Her strike rate was highest among any batter with more than 100 runs. The 26-year-old's last five T20I innings have seen her score 6, 61, 5, 63* and 24. In her last five innings against England Women, the southpaw has scored 61, 70, 20, 29, and 45. The opener recently represented Souther Brave in The Hundred and finished as their top and fourth overall run-scorer with 211 runs in eight matches at an average of 30.14 and a strike rate of 151.79.

If you feel the same, proceed to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.83 for Smriti Mandhana to score over 22.5 from the ENG-W vs IND-W head-to-head encounter.

Danni Wyatt to score under 20.5 runs

England batter Danni Wyatt has played a total of 20 T20I matches against India and scored 491 runs at an average of 35.07 and a strike rate of 130.93. But scoring against the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team might just come across as difficult this time around. Wyatt has a below-par average of 19.53 from 58 T20I matches in England. Since the start of 2022, she has featured in 10 T20Is and scored 225 runs at an average of 25 and a strike rate of 124.30. Like Mandhana, Wyatt was also part of Souther Brave in The Hundred 2022. She scored 177 runs in eight matches at an average of 25.28 and a strike rate of 136.15. The numbers look decent, but she scored 0, 0 and 15 in her last three innings of the competition. The 31-year-old has scored 4, 35, 1, 27 and 5 in her last five T20I innings. Against India her last five T20I scores are - 35, 89*, 3, 31 and 14. The right-hander visibly likes batting against India and for the same reason, the Women in Blue are expected to come with a proper plan against her on Saturday. Scoring against in-form India bowlers will not at all be easy for Wyatt. If you feel the same, proceed to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.91 for Danni Wyatt to score under 20.5 runs from the ENG-W vs IND-W head-to-head encounter.
