Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]
England Women's team is failing to do well in their home series. England lost the T20 series 3-2. We also saw England Women's team lose the first match of the ODI series.
The second match was delayed due to rain. And now the match is going to be played in 29 overs. England Women's team won the toss and decided to field. It is very difficult to win against India. India Women's team is in great form now. Especially Indian batsmen are batting well in almost every match. And I believe that Indian batsmen will be able to give a decent target in today's match too. I am expecting a big innings from Smreeti, Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodriguese today.

If India women's team can somehow collect near to 200 then they have a big chance of winning. This pitch is not a batting friendly pitch. So it is quite hard to collect big. Even then since the match is being played in only 29 overs. If India can collect a little more than 6 runs per over, then they will be able to give a big target. But it is definitely difficult.
India lost their first wicket in the second over. After 10 overs , India managed to collect 50 runs for the loss of two wickets. Two experienced batsmen like smriti and harmanpreeet kaur are now at the crease. These two are the most important batsmen in the Indian squad. If these two batsmen can survive at the crease for a long time, then India has a chance of collecting big.
It may not be possible for India to collect up to 200. Since the team has batted at an average of 5 in 10 overs. India's innings will probably stop between 160-170
