EN-W vs AU-W Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for Women’s Ashes 2023 1st ODI Match

England Women will take on Australia Women in the first ODI of the Women’s Ashes 2023 at the County Ground, Bristol on Wednesday. Ahead of the match, here's all you need to know about the EN-W vs AU-W Dream11 prediction, including fantasy cricket tips, today's playing 11s and the pitch report for this game.

The multi-format Women’s Ashes series moves to it’s last phase, which is the 50-over series. After losing the one-off Test match and the first T20I, England bounced back to win two T20Is.

However, the ODI format is going to be a different challenge. Australia Women have been a beast in the 50-over format. Since the start of 2018, the seven-time ODI World Cup champions have won 41 out of the 42 matches they have played. England who were runners-up in the 2022 World Cup edition have a win-loss record of 33-22 in this period.

Thus, Australia Women will start as favourites but England Women will be desperate to win the Ashes for the first time since the 2013-14 series down under.
