After clinching the T20I series 3-2, India Women have continued their dominance over England, registering a strong four-wicket win in the opening ODI at Southampton. Now, Harmanpreet Kaur’s side has the chance to seal the three-match series when the two teams meet for the second ODI at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground on Saturday.
In the first ODI, India chased down England’s 259-run target with Deepti Sharma anchoring the innings with a crucial 62 off 64 balls. Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh also chipped in with valuable contributions. With the ball, Kranti Goud and Sneh Rana shared four wickets between them to restrict the hosts. However, Pratika Rawal, who made a decent start, was fined 10% of her match fees by the ICC.

Pitch Report – Lord’s Cricket Ground
The pitch at Lord’s typically offers something for everyone. Fast bowlers are expected to get some movement early on, especially with the famous slope assisting seam. However, once set, batters can capitalise on the consistent bounce and pace.
Spinners may come into play in the middle overs as the surface dries out. Overall, it’s a good cricketing wicket. Given the cloud cover and possibility of rain, bowling first could be the safer option for the team winning the toss.
