AU-W vs EN-W, 1st T20I: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips and Man to Pitch | Ashes of a Woman 2025

After a dominant 3-0 series win in the recently concluded ODI series, australian will now shift their focus to the T20 format as they prepare to face England in the opening match of the T20I on Monday. The Australians were comprehensively beaten by England in the ODIs, winning all three games and completing a comprehensive whitewash, but the T20I series promises to bring a new set of challenges for the two teams.

Australia entered the T20I series with confidence after their convincing ODI win, but they knew that the shorter format required a different approach. England, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from their defeat in the 50-over format and show their strength in the fast-paced T20 games. Both teams have a lot of T20 experience, with explosive batters, sharp bowlers, and dynamic fielders.
