England Women and India Women meet in Bristol on Saturday afternoon in the second T20I of their three-match series, with the tourists looking to wrap up a series victory with a game to spare.
India's 188-7 proved more than enough at Chelmsford in the opening game on Thursday with England limping to 150-8 in reply.
England should be strengthened by the returns of Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Linsey Smith, though India will also be more powerful if skipper Harmanpreet Kaur returns after being rested.
England Women v India Women Tips Summary
Best Bet - India to win @ 1/1
Alternative Bet - JI Rodrigues over 0.5 sixes @ 3/1
Bet Builder - Over 7.5 catches, Mandhana to beat Verma - Race to 10 runs, H Knight 10+ runs & Under 21.5 runs fall of first wicket @ 15/2
England Women v India Women Prediction
Best Bet: India to win @ 1/1
India know England will come back hard after underwhelming at Chelmsford in the opening T20I, but the tourists still appear the value.
Danni Wyatt-Hodge's return to the top of the order has to be a bonus for England, but Harmanpreet Kaur's probable return for the Indians is arguably an even bigger boost.
Smriti Mandhana, skipper in Kaur's absence at Essex HQ, failed with the bat but cannot be relied upon to do that again, while Deepti Sharma, India's talismanic all-rounder, just seems to have England's number.
Alternative Bet: JI Rodrigues over 0.5 sixes @ 3/1
Jemimah Rodrigues has hit 26 sixes in T20 internationals, the most recent of those coming at Chelmsford on Thursday off Tilly Corteen-Coleman.
The in-form Rodrigues - she went on to score 69 - will have several England spinners to target and with the ropes up she should fancy she can at least thump one maximum.
England Women v India Women Bet Builder Tip
Over 7.5 catches
Mandhana to beat Verma - Race to 10 runs
H Knight 10+ runs
Under 21.5 runs fall of first wicket
Pays 15/2
England's fielding was dismal at Chelmsford yet 10 match catches were still taken.
The line for the second game in Bristol is 7.5 and that looks on the low side, so back the overs as leg one of the Bet Builder.
Mandhana gets first look at the England attack and that tiny advantage should help her get to 10 runs before opening partner Shafali Verma.
Heather Knight is under pressure, but is experienced enough and good enough to weather the flak and score 10 runs or more for her side.
The highest first-wicket partnership on Thursday was England's 18, so take the first wicket at Bristol to fall at under 21.5 runs.
