England Women are playing India Women in the 2nd T20I at Bristol's Seat Unique Stadium on July 1, 2025. India's coming off a huge 97-run win back on June 28, so they'll wanna keep that energy going. England's been a bit up and down lately. Sure, they crushed West Indies 3-0 in ODIs and won four of their last five, but they got seriously beat in the first match of this series. India's results have been all over the place too. They lost some warm-up games but then rocked it with 210/5 in their last T20I. Word is, Bristol's pitch is great for big hits and spin, so India's powerful batters and clever spinners might just cause some trouble for England's hitters.

India Women won by 97 runs

India probably feels pretty good after beating England recently. They're up 2-1 in their last three T20 matches, even crushing them in June 2025 after scoring 210. England only won once, and that was a game with very few points scored in 2024. Indian spinners usually cause problems for England's middle batting order, while England's fast bowlers, like Lauren Bell and Issy Wong, will try to get India's top batters out quickly.

ENG W vs IND W Players to Watch Today

Top Batter (Smriti Mandhana):

India's vice-captain nailed 76 runs from 42 balls in the last T20 match, proving she can really take charge during the powerplay. She scores fast against pace bowlers, so she'll be important on Bristol's reliable pitch.

Top Bowler (Sophie Ecclestone):

England's top-rated left-arm spinner in T20 matches grabbed 2 wickets for 28 runs last time. She doesn't give up many runs in the middle overs, which could slow India down. For India, Deepti Sharma's off-spin (1 wicket for 19 runs last game) and Harmanpreet Kaur's leadership when things get tough will be super important.

Weather and Pitch Report

The pitch at Seat Unique Stadium is pretty fair for everyone. Batsmen should enjoy the consistent bounce, and spinners will find the ball starts to grip more as the innings goes on. England's fast bowlers might get a bit of seam movement early on (around 4% swing in the first 4 overs).

The weather's looking good – mostly cloudy, 26°C, no rain expected, and humidity around 39%. Teams that bat first here usually score 160+, but dew might make it easier to chase later.

ENG W vs IND W Match Prediction

India's got a bit of an advantage today, mainly because their opening batters (Mandhana, Verma) can really explode, and their three spinners (Deepti, Radha Yadav, Rana) are tough. England's chances depend a lot on Nat Sciver being great at everything and Ecclestone keeping things tight. If India scores 170 or more, their spinners could really mess with England's middle order. Still, if England's openers (Wyatt, Dunkley) get off to a fast start, the game could totally swing their way.

Cricket Expert Analysis:

India's got great spin options and bats without fear, which is perfect for Bristol. England leans too much on Ecclestone, and their batting lineup is shaky, except for Amy Jones – that could hurt them. If India's fast bowlers get some early swing, England might be in trouble.

Toss Prediction:

If the captain wins the toss, they might choose to bat first to dodge any issues with dew. Still, teams that chase have won almost half the T20 games played here, so don't count out the possibility of a team choosing to chase instead.

Predicted Score:

If India bats first: 170–190

If England bats first: 160–180
