Preview:
It has gone down to the wire in this series, as England Women will take on India Women in the series decider on Wednesday. At one point England Women were cruising to the victory in the 2nd ODI, but wickets of Tammy Beaumont and Heather Knight in quick succession changed the course of the game. The hosts lost the match by 8 runs.
Meanwhile, India Women made a great comeback in the 2nd T20I and levelled the series 1-1. The opening stand of 70 runs between Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma set the tone for the visitors. They learned from their mistakes in the 1st game and implemented the strategies really well in the 2nd T20I, especially with the ball.

Pitch Report:
The ball will grip and spinners will get some turn from the surface. It isn’t going to be easy for the new batswoman to straight away come hit the ball. Batting first is a preferable choice on this surface.
