India found ways to bring out a dominating performance in the first ODI. Solid bowling, a tight spell from Jhulan Goswami, and clinical batting from Smriti Mandhana and Harmanpreet Kaur made it an easy win for India Women. England are in with some work ahead. The batting struggled in the first game while the bowling failed to penetrate the Indian batters. The English line-up though is still pretty strong and will back themselves to bring a fightback in the upcoming fixture.

ENG-W vs IND-W Key Players

Deepti Sharma

After a good opening spell from Goswami, it was Deepti Sharma who applied the brakes in the first game. With the ball taking some turn, she is looking very dangerous. She is a handy batter too, and can make an impact at any phase of the game, making her a key player in the Indian team.

Kate Cross

Kate Cross spent a lot of time on the bench over the last few months. She was out of the entire Commonwealth games and is back with a lot of frustration to let go of. She is a very good pacer, and her two wickets in the first ODI helped England find some hope in what a poor outing for them was. With competition rising though, Kate Cross knows that there is a lot of work ahead for her.
