Pitch Report
A decent batting track is on the cards in Bristol with there being some help available for the bowlers as well. The conditions should suit the pacers, who should get the ball to swing early on. The spinners should also come into play in the middle overs, given the turn on offer. Both teams will ideally look to bat first and put a big total on the board. 250-260 should be par at the venue, with the pitch unlikely to change much during the course of the game.
Today's EN-W vs SA-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Tammy Beaumont: Tammy Beaumont is one of England's best batters, capable of batting deep into an innings and scoring big runs. Although her recent form has been iffy, she has a decent record in English conditions. With the England opener capable of playing a big knock, she is one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Laura Wolvaardt: Laura Wolvaardt got off to a start in the previous game, but couldn't convert it into a big one. However, she is known for her ability to play big knocks at the top of the order, with her technique against pace and spin being impeccable. With the South African capable of clearing the boundary with ease, she is a must-have in your EN-W vs SA-W Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Marizanne Kapp: Marizanne Kapp didn't have the best of outings in the previous game, proving to be expensive with the ball. However, she is one of the best white-ball bowlers in the world, with her ability to swing the ball both ways being key. With Kapp likely to have a say with the bat as well, she could be backed to put in a fine performance today.
Bowler
Sophie Ecclestone: Sophie Ecclestone is another elite bowler who has an impeccable record in the ODI format. She is known for her ability to stifle batters and pick up key wickets in the middle and death overs. With the pitch also slightly on the slower side, Ecclestone is a fine addition to your EN-W vs SA-W Dream11 fantasy team.
