ENGW vs PAKW Team Previews
England Women
While England will be delighted at the win in the first ODI, they would have wanted a bigger margin. Nevertheless, a win is a win nonetheless and they take a 1-0 lead in the series.
The top order put up an excellent show with the likes of Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight, and Alice Capsey all contributing with the bat. Capsey was in particularly good form as she put up the best score of her ODI career.
They will once again look to post a big total against a team that has never posted more than 209 against them. England has plenty of depth in batting to do so, thanks to a host of all-rounders like Nat Sciver-Brunt.
The team has a solid bowling line-up too. Sophie Ecclestone was at the top of her game as she picked up 3 wickets. She received good support from Charlie Dean at the other end. Kate Cross and Lauren Bell have done a good job with the new ball but they will need to bowl a tighter line and length.
England Women Playing 11
Maia Bouchier, Tammy Beaumont, Heather Knight, Natalie Sciver, Danielle Wyatt, Amy Jones, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Kate Cross, Lauren Filer.
Pakistan Women
Pakistan’s winless drought against England was extended further as the team failed to make much of an impact on the proceedings. Nevertheless, there were some positives in the previous game that the team would like to build upon.
Nida Dar was in good form with the bat as well as the ball as she picked up 3 wickets and also scored 26 runs. The bowlers bowled surprisingly well to pick up 9 wickets and will hope to do the same in this game as well. Nashra Sandhu and Umme Hani picked up 2 wickets each and will join Nida in the spin department while the seam attack consists of Fatima Sana, Diana Baig, and Aliya Riaz.
Sidra Ameen was seen struggling in the last match as she scored just 2 runs off 18 deliveries. Her opening partnership with Sadaf Shamas will hold the key for the visitors. The middle order has some decent performers in the form of Najiha Alvi and Muneeba Ali.
Pakistan Women Playing 11
Sadaf Shamas, Sidra Ameen, Muneeba Ali, Ayesha Zafar, Nida Dar, Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana, Najiha Alvi, Umme Hani, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Cooper Associates ground in Taunton isn’t the easiest to bat on. The average first-inning score in WODIs played here is just over 200 runs. The seamers will get some help with the new ball, while the spinners will come into action once the ball gets older.
There is plenty of grass on the surface that allows the ball to move around. Anything over 225 will be tricky to chase here.
The weather is likely to remain overcast throughout the day with occasional showers which may interrupt the game.
ENGW vs PAKW Betting Tips
We feel that the home team is a favorite to win this match. They have a well-balanced team and most of the players are in good form. On the other hand, Pakistan will find it difficult to challenge the opposition.
Bet on England W to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The batters will find it difficult to get going on this ground. There is plenty of help on offer for the bowlers. As a result, we are unlikely to see a big over.
Ecclestone is in excellent form of late. She picked up 3 wickets in the last game and was the top bowler. As the pitch in Taunton offers quite a lot of turn to the spinners, Ecclestone has a good chance of bowling yet another good spell.
