India Women are all set to cross swords with England Women in the first ODI of the three-match series at The Rose Bowl in Southampton on Wednesday, July 16. The high-octane match will begin at 5:30 PM IST.

The Women in Blue have already landed the first punch by winning the T20I series 3-2 on England’s home turf and now Harmanpreet Kaur & co will be ready to double down in the 50-over format. It’s not new territory either. Don’t forget India’s dominant 3-0 sweep back in 2022. If there’s ever a time to rinse and repeat, it is now.

On the other hand, England Women, led by Nat Sciver-Brunt, aren’t going to roll over. With names like Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones and Sophie Ecclestone in their ranks, they will be itching to bounce back and put India on the back foot. This is their backyard, and they will want to defend it with pride.

As the stage is set for a cracking contest, let’s see how the surface at The Rose Bowl will behave throughout the match.

The Rose Bowl Southampton Pitch Report: Is The Surface Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

It is The Rose Bowl and that means run-scoring heaven. The surface here is flat and tailor-made for stroke-makers. The average run rate here in Women’s ODIs stands at 4.30 so anything around 250 will be competitive.

But here’s the catch—there’s always a bit in it early on. Seamers could get the ball talking in the first 10 overs, especially with a bit of breeze around. Spinners will come into play in the middle overs but only if they stay on a leash with their lines.

Also worth noting is that two out of three ODIs played here have been won by the chasing side. So, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the captain who wins the toss decides to bowl first.
