England Women will aim to register a clean-sweep against a struggling Indian Women‘s side in their third and final One-Day International (ODI) at the home of cricket, Lord’s, on Monday. England lead the three-match series 2-0.
England have been on a roll in this limited-overs series, after they lost the one-off Test match against the Indian Women. They produced emphatic performances in both the ODIs to keep up the pressure on the Indians.
In the second ODI, Charlotte Edwards’s unbeaten 108 and Jenny Gunn’s four-wicket haul helped England Women win at Scraborough. Despite some cameo by Smriti Mandhana, Mithali Raj, Harmanpreet Kaur and Vellaswamy Vanitha, England bowlers managed to defeat the visitors.
With that, England seal the series 2-0, with one ODI remaining, which will be held at Lord’s on August 25. India Women got plenty of chances to build partnerships and win the match, but wickets started falling at regular intervals for the visitors.
Squads:
England Women: Charlotte Edwards (c), Heather Knight, Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, Sonia Odedra, Natalie Sciver, Anya Shrubsole, Katherine Brunt, Kate Cross, Lydia Greenway, Jenny Gunn, Danielle Hazell, Sarah Taylor (wk), Lauren Winfield, Rebecca Grundy.
India Women: Mithali Raj (c), Ekta Bisht, Niranjana Nagarajan, Poonam Yadav, Swagatika Rath, Poonam Raut, Shubhlakshmi Sharma, Vellaswamy Vanitha, Sushma Verma, Shivanand Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Jhulan Goswami, Karuna Jain (wk), Thirush Kamini, Smriti Mandhana.
