They have a balanced unit with a lot of firepower and depth and will fancy their chances of topping the points table. However, New Zealand Women have been equally impressive, with Suzie Bates starring at the top of the order. Although both teams look evenly-matched on paper, England will hold the edge going into this much-awaited clash in Birmingham.

Pitch Report

The pitch in Birmingham has slowed down in recent matches, allowing bowlers to have a major say in the outcome of the game. While there should be some swing available early on, the batters will look to maximize the powerplay field restrictions. Wickets in hand will be crucial, with both teams likely to prefer chasing under the lights. 150 should be a match-winning total, with the ball likely to move a bit under the lights.
