England and Pakistan Women are all set to lock horns in the 1st ODI of the 3-match series at the County Ground in Derby. The hosts completely dominated the T20I series as they beat Pakistan 3-0.
Nida Dar will be concerned about Pakistan’s batting woes coming into the ODI series. They haven’t had any highlight batting promises so far on this tour and no one in this batting lineup has looked promising.
England, on the other hand, also struggled a bit against the visitors’ bowling attack but yet managed to post some pretty competitive totals on the board. Danielle Wyatt, Nat-Sciver Brunt, and skipper Heather Knight will be the key batters for England Women.
Diana Baig, Waheeda Akhtar, and skipper Nida Dar will be the ones to watch out for in the Pakistan bowling attack.

England must be confident after the series win. It has always been challenging for subcontinent teams to play in these English conditions. Many legendary batters from the subcontinent have struggled against the swinging and wobbling ball in England.
Kate Cross, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Lauren Bell will be ensuring the same happens when they take on Pakistan Women in the opening ODI. These pacers will be crucial with the new ball during the powerplay.
If they get a few early wickets against a struggling Pakistan side, they can put England right on top of the game. There is some movement on offer for the bowlers on this pitch at the County Ground in Derby.
This means the batters, from both teams, will face a tough challenge in the early overs. Maia Boucher and Danielle Wyatt need to see through this critical phase of the new ball as openers.
There are some experienced players in the middle-order such as Nat Sciver-Brunt and skipper Heather Knight. England Women will be going into this series with just these two all-rounders.
In the lower-middle order, there will be Alice Capsey and Amy Jones. There are two wicket-keeper batters in the squad and Tammy Beaumont is surely a great batting option in the middle.
Overall, it is a balanced squad with some experienced players in every department. The hosts are more familiar with the playing conditions and that will be another factor in their favor.

The visitors have been on the backfoot since game 1. And it is high time, they pull themselves back together and start delivering impactful performances. Nidar Dar is a key player in the middle order along with Muneeba Ali and Aliya Riaz.
These three batters will be very crucial for Pakistan Women in their search for a more competitive score. Openers Gull Feroza and Sidra Ameen struggled to get going in the last few outings.
They haven’t looked very promising at the top but the change of format of the game should allow them more time to settle down and then start building a good partnership for the first wicket.
Number 3 batter Sadaf Shamas has a huge role to play. If she can stay at the crease longer and add some crucial partnerships alongside one of the openers or the number 4 batter Muneeba Ali, Pakistan can be looking at a bigger total here.
While the batters have been quite disappointing so far, the bowlers did show some promise as they troubled the English batters during the T20I series. Coming to Derby, Diana Baig, Waheeda Akhtar, and the skipper herself will be the key bowlers for Pakistan.
These 3 are among the top wicket-takers for Pakistan and their success will be crucial for a comeback. Pakistan Women have a lot of work to do in every aspect of the game if they are to win the match.
Though it will be an uphill battle for the visitors, they can’t be counted out given their overall squad strength.

It is a balanced wicket at the County Ground in Derby that offers help for both batters and bowlers. There is some movement off the surface and as the game progresses, spinners too, might come into play. The weather forecast is for scattered showers on the match day in Derby with a high of 14 degrees Celsius.
The first ODI of this series will be played at the County Ground in Derby. It is not a particularly high-scoring venue with the average 1st innings score being 234 runs from 17 ODIs played here. We reckon anything around 260-270 will be a highly competitive score on this ground.
We reckon batting first should be the preferred option given the conditions here and the overall form of both teams. Pakistan aren’t in great form and may not be able to chase down a big total. The hosts, on the other hand, can post a big enough total to be able to have a huge advantage in the game.
England Women are way ahead in this contest. There are many reliable batters in this lineup who can deliver impactful performances for England. Pakistan haven’t got any in-form batters and seem to be dependent on their bowlers to lead a comeback for them.
