EN-W vs IN-W 3rd ODI Match Prediction – Team Analysis
India Women (IN-W)
After losing the opening ODI and the T20I series, England Women responded well in the 2nd ODI. Sophie Ecclestone led the bowling with 3 wickets, while Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont steered the chase smoothly.
However, consistency remains a concern. Batters like Dunkley and Nat Sciver-Brunt must step up to ensure a strong total, especially under overcast conditions expected at the Riverside Ground.
Key Players: Sophie Ecclestone, Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver-Brunt
England Women (EN-W)
India Women couldn’t replicate their 1st ODI success in the second game, scoring just 143. However, Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma continue to lead from the front with bat and ball. The likes of Jemimah Rodrigues and Harmanpreet Kaur will be crucial in this decider.
India’s bowling has been effective throughout the tour. Sneh Rana and Kranti Goud need to deliver again, especially if defending a low total in damp conditions.
Key Players: Smriti Mandhana, Sneh Rana, Deepti Sharma
Key Players to Watch – EN-W vs IN-W
England Women
-
Sophie Ecclestone – The left-arm spinner was the standout in the 2nd ODI with 3 wickets. She’s England’s most reliable threat with the ball, especially on pitches offering grip and bounce.
-
Amy Jones – Anchored the chase in the previous match with a composed half-century. Her ability to rotate strike and accelerate makes her crucial in the middle order.
-
Nat Sciver-Brunt – The captain will be expected to lead from the front with both bat and ball. A proven match-winner who thrives under pressure.
India Women
-
Smriti Mandhana – India’s batting mainstay. If she gets going, India usually builds a big total. Watch out for her against the new ball.
-
Deepti Sharma – A genuine all-rounder who can change games with both bat and ball. Key in the middle overs and death overs.
-
Sneh Rana – Her bowling could be crucial in English conditions, especially if the pitch assists spin later in the innings.
