ENGW vs IND-W Match Prediction & Analysis
India Women are on a roll with back-to-back wins in the T20I series. Mandhana’s hundred set them up for a winning total in the opening match, while Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur stepped up in the second game.
England Women desperately need a win here. It will be a do-or-die match with the series on line in the 3rd T20I at the Kennington Oval in London. Their batting collapses at the top and middle order have been a major issue so far.
England’s batting lineup features many experienced and reliable big-hitters like Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Danielle Wyatt-Hodge in the top 3. There is plenty of depth in the lineup, and we expect the hosts to make a comeback in this match.
Harmanpreet Kaur and co. have been exceptional with the ball and will back themselves to continue putting England Women under pressure. All-rounder Amanjot Kaur will be a key match-winner for India, along with key batters like Richa Ghosh and Shafali Verma.
TEAMS PREVIEW
England Women Preview
England Women are in a tough situation with the series on the line here. The Kennington Oval in London is a great venue for batting, and the hosts should be expecting a comeback from their batting lineup.
There are plenty of experienced and promising big-hitters in the top order, who should lead England off to a flying start. Skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt has a key role to play at number 3. She scored 66 off 42 balls in the opening game of the series while chasing a 211-run target at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
Tammy Beaumont, at number 4, scored a brilliant half-century in the next match as England Women fell 24 runs short of India’s total in the second game. There is depth in this batting order with Alice Capsey, Amy Jones, and Sophie Ecclestone to follow.
However, apart from the skipper and Beaumont, no other batter has shone for England in this series so far. They lost half of their side for 70 runs in the opening match, while in the second match, the top 3 batters were back in the hut when the team had only 17 runs on the board in the 4th over.
The batting struggles are real. They are under pressure against India’s promising bowling attack. They must find a way to score runs against India’s wicket-taking bowlers and build strong partnerships to turn the game around.
Lauren Bell and Lauren Fifer are the key wicket-takers for England Women. Fifer has picked only 1 wicket so far and has been expensive. Bell picked up 3 for 27 in the opening game and 2 for 17 in the last outing. She will be one to watch out for.
India Women Preview
The last time India Women visited England for a T20I series, they lost to the hosts 2-1. This time around, two wins in the first two matches have created a great opportunity for the Women in Blue.
With 3 more games remaining in the series, India Women need just one more win to seal the series. They have the winning momentum on their side, and their key players, particularly the bowlers, are in great rhythm. Jemimah Rodrigues’ recent knock is a great sign for the visitors.
Amanjot Kaur, a bowling all-rounder, came into this series with only 12 matches to her name. She’s picked up a wicket in each of the two games and also played a handy knock in the last game, scoring an unbeaten 63 off 40 balls at number 5.
She has been a revelation for the visitors. The attacking opening batter, Shafali Verma, needs to find her rhythm going ahead in this series. She hasn’t looked in good touch, and the team would expect a better performance from the young and promising player.
Harleen Deol looked in great form in the opening game but was replaced by Harmanpreet Kaur in the second match. The middle order has a lot of firepower, and that should allow the opening duo of Mandhana and Verma to approach the game more freely.
Deepthi Sharma, Arundhati Roy, and Shree Charani are the key wicket-taking bowlers to watch out for. There is a great variety in this bowling attack, and the skipper has multiple reliable options to choose from when she needs a breakthrough.
Weather Conditions
It will be mostly cloudy in London with a high of 26 degrees Celsius. There are no signs of rain around the match time, but the forecast is for rain for the weekend. We don’t expect any interruptions during the game, and it should be a great contest between two well-matched teams.
ENGW vs IND-W Pitch Report
The 3rd T20I will be played at the Kennington Oval in London. The average 1st innings score in the T20Is played here is 151 runs. The pitch offers plenty of support for the bowlers too. However, the recent T20 Blast matches played here were quite high-scoring. We reckon the new-ball bowlers will find some help early in the game with the weather around.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won 7 of the last 10 T20 matches played at this venue. Both teams have depth in their batting lineups and have the potential to chase down any big total. Though England’s current form doesn’t look good enough to chase down a total against India, we reckon, the conditions here should push them towards opting to bowl first.
