EN-W vs AU-W 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report | ENG-W vs AUS-W 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction Today | Bristol Pitch Report

England, who rallied hard in the T20I series to eventually win 2-1, are still alive in this Ashes series. On the back of Alice Capsey’s whirlwind knock in the third match, the hosts have a chance of regaining the Ashes for the first time since 2015, and they will surely believe no matter how difficult the task may seem.

Indeed, beating this Australia team 3-0 seems out of this world. However, victory in this first ODI will increase the pressure ever so slowly on the great Australian team, who simply aren’t used to losing. So, expect the visitors to come out firing at Bristol in the quest to retain the Ashes.

The last time these two teams played in an ODI was in last year’s World Cup Final. Alyssa Healy went on a rampage before Nat Sciver-Brunt responded with her own glorious century. Here is a chance for England to show how far they have come since April 2022 in front of what is expected to be a big crowd.

EN-W vs AU-W 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction: Key players to watch/key stats

England:

• Nat-Sciver Brunt hit a superb 148* in her last ODI against Australia. Overall, the all-rounder has struck 727 runs at an average of 51.92 and strike rate of 87.37 against the world champions.
• Danni Wyatt was named player of the series in T20Is after scoring 109 runs across the three matches. Whether she can bring this form across to the ODI format will be interesting to see as she has scored just 171 runs in 15 innings against Australia (avg. 11.40).
• The talented Alice Capsey turned the third T20I in England’s favour with her 23-ball 46. She will be key as one of England’s finishers.
• Sophie Ecclestone continues to amaze. She took the most wickets in the T20I series (5) and has taken 12 wickets in her past nine ODIs at an economy of just 3.91.
• Ecclestone can keep Ellyse Perry quiet. In 103 balls in ODIs, she has conceded just 55 runs with the one dismissal.
• Lauren Filer could be an X-Factor player. She took four wickets in the Test match and impressed with her pace of around 75mph.

Australia:

• Alyssa Healy smashed a memorable 170 in her last ODI against England. Overall, she has struck 658 runs in 20 innings at an average of 36.55 and strike rate of 95.77.
• Should Healy get through the powerplay, she can go big. The Australia captain has a good record against Sophie Ecclestone in ODIs: 103 balls, 83 runs, one dismissal.
• Beth Mooney vs England in ODIs: 7 matches, 280 runs, avg. 56.00, SR 88.32.
• Ellyse Perry will be keen for a big series. The great all-rounder averages 43.20 with the bat (864 runs) and 27.41 with the ball (39 wickets) in 33 ODIs against England.
• Ashleigh Gardner averages just 16.75 in nine ODI innings against England. However, the star all-rounder can influence the game with bat and ball at any moment.
• Annabel Sutherland is coming of age. She hit a century in the Test, conceded just seven per over with three wickets in the T20Is and took excellent catches in the hotspot fielding positions. One to watch.
• Jess Jonassen has taken 32 wickets in 21 ODIs against England at an average of 23.06 and economy of 4.51.

Other Stats and Facts

County Ground Bristol Pitch Report and Weather

Last year, Bristol played host to a women’s ODI between England and South Africa. England hammered 337 batting first, with Sophia Dunkley starring with 109 at number three. With the ball, Issy Wong (3/36), Charlie Dean (4/53) and Sophie Ecclestone (2/37) were too good.

Expect a good batting surface which is often the case on this ground. There is a chance of rain in the morning and early afternoon, but conditions should hopefully be clear by the time this day/night match starts.
