The County Ground in Chelmsford is set to host the third and final T20I of the three-match series between England Women and India Women on Wednesday.
The series is currently poised at 1-1 with both teams winning one game each. While the hosts recorded a win in the opening game, the v🦂isitors bounced back in the second match to level the series.
England have already won the ODI series, and hence they would be aiming to cli⛄nch the T20I series as well. On the other hand, India would be hoping to end the English tour on high by registering a win in the T20I leg.
Pitch report:
The surface at Chelmsford is a good batting track, and it often produces high-scoring encounters. Teams chasing tends to find difficulties much more as compared to teams batting first. However, the last💧 match played at this venue between Essex♚ and Glamorgan was a lꦚow-scoring affair. Glamorgan were bundled out for 104, and the home team Essex chඣased down the target comfortably with eight wickets in hand.
Playing Combinations:
England Women
Despite losing the second game, it’s highly unlikely that Heather Knight would change the team combination.
ENGW XI: Heather Knight (c), Tammy Beau𒀰mont, Danielle Wyatt, Natalie Sciver, Amy Ellen Jones (wk), Sophia Dunkley, Sarah💧 Glenn, Mady Villiers, Freya Davies, Katherine Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone.
India Women
The spinners as well as batters did a good job in the previous encounte🤪r. It looks like India will field the same XI that played in the second T20I.
INDW XI: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Deepti Sh🌼꧑arma, Richa Ghosh (wk), Sneh Rana, Arundhati Reddy, Shikha Pandey, Radha Yadav, Poonam Yadav.
