This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for the 2nd ODI between England Women and India Women that is scheduled to take place on the 30th of June 2021.
England Women Team won the first ODI convincingly as they restricted India Women on a manageable total of 201 runs and then chased the target in just 35 overs. Sophie Ecclestone took three wickets and Katherine Brunt and Anya Shurbsole took two wickets each. In the batting department, Tammy Beaumont and Natalie Sciver played match-winning knocks of 87* and 74* respectively.
On the other hand, India Women failed to put enough runs on the board as their top-order batsmen didn’t make big partnerships. However, the skipper Mithali Raj played a sensible knock of 72 runs and put a fighting total on the board. India Women bowlers had an average day in the first game as they failed to get wickets at regular intervals. India-W will aim to bounce back in this second match and Eng-W will look to continue their winning streak.
