The Home of Cricket, the iconic Lord’s stadium in London, is the venue for the second ODI.

Can India Women beat England Women again in the 2nd ODI?
After winning the toss, the England Women’s captain Nat Sciver-Brunt decided to bat first. The England team lost two early wickets, but Sophia Dunkley and Davidson Richards’ knocks helped the team to reach 258 runs in 50 overs. It is fair to say that every Indian batter contributed to chasing the target, and Deepti Sharma finished it well. She was also the player of the match.
The England team will come fully prepared and will want to win the match and equal the series. Eventually, the Indian women’s team will be a well-balanced and complete team. The venue makes it more special as each player will want to perform at the home of cricket. Just like the first ODI, India will defeat England and win the series.

Our Dream11 Team Prediction
The reason for choosing Smriti Mandhana as the captain is that she is the current number one women’s batter in the ICC ODI rankings. On her day, there could be no one stopping her. In the previous match, the England captain, Nat Sciver‑Brunt, was their best player and is a perfect choice for vice-captain. Choosing an all-rounder gives you more points as they can both bat and bowl for their team.
