England Women will take on India Women in the third and final T20I at the Essex County Cricket Club on Wednesday.
Following a 18-run loss via the Duckworth-Lewis method in the first T20I, India Women bounced back strongly to win the second match by eight runs and level the three-match series level at 1-1.
Batting first, India Women posted 148-4 in their 20 overs. Shafali Verma, who top-scored for India, fell a couple of runs short of what would’ve been a scintillating half-century. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur also looked to be in good nick, scoring a quickfire 31 off 25 balls. Nat Sciver, Freya Davies, Sarah Glenn and Mady Villiers all picked up one wicket apiece.
In reply, England Women managed only 140 for the loss of eight wickets. Tammy Beaumont was looking really threatening with a 50-ball 59 before Deepti Sharma sent her back to the pavilion. Captain Heather Knight was the second-highest scorer (30 off 28 balls) for the hosts. Deepti went on to win the Player of the Match award for her tight spell (4-18-1), as well as for her contribution with the bat (24* off 27 balls).
With the series hanging in the balance, we should be in for a cracker at the Essex County Cricket Club on Wednesday.

Pitch Report
Although the pitch at the Essex County Cricket Club generally favors batters, they will need to spend some time in the middle before switching gears. Wickets in hand will be key for both teams. On the bowling front, spinners are expected to play a crucial role in the game, especially in the middle overs. Both England Women and India Women will want to bat first and put up a big score upon winning the toss.
