England Women Preview
Despite losing the T20I series, England enters the ODI format with greater strength and balance. Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt has already led England to a 3-0 ODI sweep over West Indies earlier this summer, showcasing dominance in all departments. Their opening combination of Maia Bouchier and Tammy Beaumont brings explosiveness and experience. Beaumont, known for her temperament in longer formats, will be the batter to watch.
Sophie Ecclestone remains England’s most lethal bowler across formats. Along with Lauren Filer and Kate Cross, England’s pace-spin mix could prove crucial at The Rose Bowl. Without Heather Knight, this match gives a big opportunity to youngsters like Alice Capsey and Charlie Dean to step up.
Key Players: Nat Sciver-Brunt, Tammy Beaumont, Sophie Ecclestone
India Women Preview
Fresh off a T20I series win, India Women are high on morale. Smriti Mandhana is the cornerstone of their batting lineup and will open with the young Pratika Rawal, providing left-right balance. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues form a solid middle-order with finishing firepower from Deepti Sharma and Harleen Deol.
While India’s batting looks long and talented, their bowling lacks some experience. However, the presence of Sneh Rana, Arundhati Reddy, and Sayali Satgnare can surprise opponents on their day. Conditions in Southampton won’t be alien, and India’s familiarity with English wickets could work in their favor.
Key Players: Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma

Favourite Team – England Women
England Women are favourites for today’s match. They are more settled in this format and have a deep, experienced squad with in-form players like Beaumont, Sciver-Brunt, and Ecclestone. India’s form in ODIs has been patchy recently, and without a highly experienced pace attack, they may struggle to contain England’s batters. Playing at home, England also have better control of the conditions and more depth in bowling.
