England Women vs Sri Lanka Women Betting Odds
England Women to score over 46.5 runs in the first six overs @ 46.5 (Melbet)
England Women scored 66 runs in the first six overs in the first T20I match against Sri Lanka Women and on average they scored 59 runs in the powerplay overs in the last three home games played. With the pitch being good for batting and the lack of experience from the new ball bowlers of Sri Lanka Women, we predict England Women to easily score over 46.5 runs in the first six overs.
England Women vs Sri Lanka Women Top Batters
Danielle Wyatt to be the top batter for England Women @ 4.20 (Melbet)
Danielle Wyatt looked in good touch in the first T20I smashing 48 runs off 30 balls. Wyatt finished as the leading run-scorer (295 runs) for the SouthernBrave Women helping the team lift the trophy. She was also the 2nd leading run-scorer in the Women’s Ashes T20 matches amassing 109 runs in three matches. Based on her recent form, we back Danielle Wyatt to be the top batter for England Women.
Chamari Athapaththu to be the top batter for Sri Lanka Women @ 2.46 (Melbet)
Athapaththu looked in good touch in her short stay in the first T20I and she has scored 250 runs in the last 10 matches at an average of 27.78 and striking at 126.26. She is known for scoring big knocks on flat batting tracks and with the pitch at the County Ground, Chelmsford being a batter friendly track, we predict Athapaththu to be the top batter for Sri Lanka Women.
England Women vs Sri Lanka Women Top Bowlers
Sarah Glenn to be the top bowler for England Women @ 3.20 (Melbet)
Sarah Glenn didn't get a chance to bowl in the first T20I, She has been the top performer in the recently concluded Women’s Hundred tournament picking up 11 wickets in nine matches and she played a key role by picking up four wickets in the series win over Australia Women in the T20I series. Considering her good run with the ball, we back Glenn to be the top bowler for England Women.
Chamari Athapaththu to be the top bowler for Sri Lanka Women @ 5.20 (Melbet)
Athapaththu was the most effective bowler in the first T20I picking up one wicket and contained runs. She can swing the ball and most of her deliveries skid off the surface which makes it really hard for the batteries to pick. We believe Athapaththu to step up and be the top bowler for Sri Lanka Women in the series decider.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: England Women
The odds in favour of England Women to win the match are 1.056 (Melbet), while in favour of Sri Lanka Women to win the match are 9.40 (Melbet).
