Overview

• The group match is scheduled for Tuesday, October 7 at 3:00 PM IST at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, with coverage on Star Sports and JioHotstar.
• Both teams opened with victories, as England routed South Africa by 10 wickets and Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by seven wickets.
• Reports describe a batting-friendly surface early in Guwahati that tends to slow later, bringing spinners into the contest.
• England’s options include proven names such as Nat Sciver-Brunt, Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell and Sophia Dunkley.
• The sides have met only once before in ODIs, a 100-run win for England in 2022, and most previews and betting odds predict another England success.
