The third ODI between England Women and India Women is set to take place at New Road in Worcester on Saturday.
The English Women have been dominant in the ongoing series with two impeccable bowling performances. While the likes of Kate Cross and Sophie Ecclestone have picked up wickets consistently, the English batting unit has also fired on both occasions. Although the hosts will be eyeing a clean sweep, a couple of changes might be in order. Nevertheless, the depth that England boast is unparalleled and will be key in Saturday's fixture.
The Indians, on the other hand, have been lackluster in their approach, with Shafali Verma showing glimpses of her aggression at the top of the order. They will need to come up with a better response, with both the bat and ball, if they are to avoid a series whitewash. All eyes will be on Indian spinners Poonam Yadav and Deepti Sharma, who will be key on a track that could aid them as the match progresses.
Although England are the hot favorites to clinch the win in the fixture, India cannot be taken lightly. All in all, a cracking game of cricket is in store, with both teams eyeing a crucial win in Worcester on Saturday.

Pitch Report
A relatively high-scoring game is on the cards despite there being some help on offer for the bowlers. As has been the case in the series, the new ball bowlers should get a lot of help from the surface early on. The spinners will play a crucial role as the match progresses, with both teams looking to keep wickets in hand and launch an attack towards the end. Both England and India will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 250 being a good total at New Road.
