ENG-W vs IND-W Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today 1st T20I, India Women tour of England 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 1st T20I of the India Women tour of England 2026 between ENG-W vs IND-W to be played in Chelmsford.

India Women are on tour in England for three T20Is and one Test ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. This tour can help Harmanpreet Kaur and co. to get used to the conditions before the mega event. The tour will begin with the first T20I.

This contest will begin at County Ground, Chelmsford, on Thursday at 11 PM IST. England will miss the services of captain Nat Sciver-Brunt. She has been ruled out of the series due to injury. Charlie Dean will lead the hosts in her absence.

For India Women, it is all about preparing for the mega event. Kashvee Gautam and Amanjot Kaur are injured due to injury, and India are missing a quality seam-bowling all-rounder. India Women have lost the last T20I series in South Africa, and it will be a good challenge for them in England.
