England Women v Pakistan Women ODI series: Prediction, Tips and Odds

England Women will look to enhance their prospects of automatic qualification for next year’s 50-over World Cup and extend their recent dominance over Pakistan’s Women in a three-match ODI series getting underway this week.

Heather Knight’s side were far too good for the tourists in three comprehensive T20 victories earlier this month and will be bidding for another series whitewash.

England Women v Pakistan Women ODI series betting tips and predictions

Series Correct Score - 3-0 to England Women - 1/8

England Women are 1/1000 to clinch a series victory by any score with all the recent and head-to-head form pointing towards a 3-0 whitewash.

In the T20 series, Knight’s team overcame Pakistan Women by margins of 53 runs at Edgbaston, 65 runs at Northampton and 34 runs at Headingley.

The tourists batted last on each occasion and were skittled out for 110 and 79 in the first two games before posting a more respectable 142-4 in their final run chase.

A lack of discipline and poor decision-making, particularly against the spinners, has been their main downfall, while the loss of early wickets has appeared to have a knock-on effect in unsettling the middle order.

It was a similar story on home soil for them earlier this year when the West Indies took the honours in both the T20 series (4-1) and ODI matches (3-0).

Pakistan Women are currently ranked 10th in the world by the ICC, but the gap to the leading nations, such as top-ranked Australia and World No.2 England is huge.

This is illustrated by the fact that in 12 previous ODIs against England, Pakistan Women have lost 11 with one no result.

It was 3-0 to England when they last played on these shores in a bilateral one-day series, with Pakistan Women defeated by seven wickets, 212 runs and 202 runs.

The gap is closing and none of these games should be quite as one-sided as they were in 2016, but England Women can be counted on to win all three.

The weather could always intervene at some point, but the forecast for Thursday’s opener in Derby shows no sign of any interruption and even if there is a downpour at Taunton on Sunday, England Women should still win a rain-reduced affair.

Tammy Beaumont Top England Women Batter in first ODI - 11/4

Beaumont was left out of the T20 squad and although coach Jon Lewis says she is not completely out of the picture for the upcoming World Cup in that format, she may feel she needs to make an impact here to force her way in.

The Blaze opener constructed innings of 25 and 41 in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy earlier this month and remains capable of big knocks, as she illustrated when smashing a historic 208 at Trent Bridge in last year’s one-off Ashes Test.

The Kent-born cricketer averages almost 40 in ODIs over her career and just shy of 45 in home conditions.

Sidra Ameen Top Pakistan Women Batter in first ODI - 3/1

Ameen is by far the highest-ranked batter in the tourists’ top order.

The right-hander sits 20th in the ICC Women’s Batting Rankings, 15 places ahead of Aliya Riaz, who is the next-highest ranked Pakistan Women’s player on this trip.

Ameen made scores of 9, 11 and 26 in the T20 series, but her average of 28.42 in the longer format suggests she fares better in the 50-over game.

She made a century against New Zealand Women in Queenstown last December and posted scores of 123 and 176 not out against Sri Lanka Women and Ireland Women respectively in 2022.

Ameen struck five boundaries before her innings was ended by a well-flighted Sophie Ecclestone delivery at Headingley last week, so she appears to be coming back into form.
