England will be pleased with their victory in the first ODI, although they would have preferred a larger winning margin. Despite this, they have taken a 1-0 lead in the series which is the most important thing. The opening batsmen, including Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight, and Alice Capsey, all performed well with the bat. Capsey, in particular, had a standout performance, achieving her best score in an ODI match. England will aim to score a high total once again, as their opponents have never surpassed 209 runs against them. With a number of all-rounders like Nat Sciver and Brunt, England's batting lineup is strong. Additionally, their bowling attack, led by Sophie Ecclestone's 3 wickets, is solid. Support from Charlie Dean was also significant, while Kate Cross and Lauren Bell will need to maintain better line and length in the upcoming matches.

England Women vs Pakistan Women Expert Tips & Prediction

When a team wins the toss at the Cooper Associates ground in Taunton, they are likely to choose to bowl first. The pitch at this ground is known to be challenging for batsmen, with an average first-inning score in WODIs just over 200 runs. The new ball will assist seamers, while spinners will become more effective as the ball gets older due to the grassy surface that allows movement. Anything over 225 runs will be a tough target to chase. The weather forecast predicts overcast conditions with occasional showers, potentially affecting the game.

Considering the conditions, we believe that the home team has an advantage in this match due to their well-balanced team and good form of players. Pakistan may struggle to compete against the opposition. Our recommendation is to bet on England W to win.
