The third T20I between India Women and England Women is set to take place at the iconic Kennington Oval in London on Friday, July 4, with the match starting at 11:05 PM IST. With the series leaning towards India Women, they will look to bag the series, while England will aim to salvage pride in front of home fans.

India Women

India Women, led by a powerful batting unit and disciplined bowling, have looked unbeatable in this series. After posting back-to-back totals of 210 and 181 in the first two matches, the visitors registered convincing wins by 97 and 24 runs, respectively. Hence, they are eyeing another series-sealing win in London.

England Women

England Women have struggled to contain the Indian batters and lacked penetration in their bowling. Their batting, too, has faltered under pressure, as seen in their collapse in the first T20I. Though they showed a slight improvement in the second match, England's side will need a much more cohesive performance to stop India’s series-winning bid.

EN-W vs IN-W Head-to-Head Records In T20Is

How Will The Kennington Oval Pitch in London Behave?

The pitch at Kennington Oval typically offers a balanced contest between bat and ball, with early help for pacers. The new ball is likely to swing and seamers who can move it both ways will be key in the powerplay. 

As the match progresses, the surface flattens out, providing good bounce and carry, which favours batters looking to accelerate. Spinners might get some grip in the middle overs but usually play a secondary role. With teams batting first having an edge on this ground, the toss-winning captain would likely prefer to bat first.

Players To Watch Out For In EN-W vs IN-W 3rd T20I

India Women

Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana is in terrific form, having smashed a blistering 112 off 62 balls in the first T20I. Despite a low score in the second game, her attacking intent and ability to dominate the powerplay make her a game-changer.

Jemimah Rodrigues

Jemimah Rodrigues bounced back strongly in the second T20I with a fluent 63 off 41 balls. Her quick scoring rate and adaptability in the middle overs can help anchor or accelerate the innings as needed.

Nallapureddy Charani

Charani has impressed with her accuracy and economy, picking 6 wickets in just two games this series. Her match-winning 4/12 in the first T20I and another solid spell in the second show her consistency and control.

England Women

Tammy Beaumont

Tammy Beaumont returned to form with a powerful 54 off 35 balls in the second T20I. Her experience at the top and ability to build quick starts makes her vital in England's chase or set-up plans. If she gets going early, she can anchor the innings and keep the scoring rate high.

Lauren Bell

Lauren Bell has been England’s most impactful bowler this series, picking 5 wickets in two matches. She has shown great control and swing with the new ball, troubling India's top order in both games.

Sophie Ecclestone

Sophie Ecclestone played a brilliant hand with the bat in the second T20I, scoring 35 off 23 balls. Though she hasn’t had much success with the ball so far, her spin threat remains critical on turning pitches. Her all-round ability gives England depth and balance in both departments.
