Jemimah Rodrigues, who missed India's tour of England with injury despite being named in the squad, is set to return for the marquee continental tournament.

The Indian women's cricket team made a promising start to the three-match ODI series against England, with a thumping seven-wicket win on Sunday, at the County Ground in Hove. Both the teams will now be squaring off against each other in the second ODI match on Wednesday at St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side is eyeing to seal the deal with a win in this game while England will be looking to equalise the series. This series will also serve as a farewell to veteran seamer Jhulan Goswami, who would bow out of international cricket after the third ODI on September 24.
A confident Indian team will back itself to seal its first series victory in England since 1999 with another win over the hosts in the second women's ODI in Canterbury on Wednesday. Having endured a woeful 1-2 defeat in the T20I series, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian side raised its standards in all the departments of the game to bounce back in three days' time and defeat England by seven wickets in the series-opener at Hove on Sunday. England are missing some of their senior players but India looked a much better team in the first game and they would be looking to ride the momentum.
The left-handed batter had aggregated 111 runs in the three-match T20I series against England. The performance helped her jump two places. Mandhana, a former top-ranked batter in ODIs, also jumped three slots to number seven after a match-winning 91 in the first ODI against England.
