India Women’s home series against the visiting West Indies Women will come to a conclusion with the impending third ODI match between the two sides. The ‘Women in Blue’ won the first two games to clinch the three-match series 2-0. The match will be hosted by the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara and the action is slated to commence from 9:30 AM IST onwards.

India Women

The Indian Women’s cricket team attained its winning momentum by defeating West Indies in the first two matches. Earlier this month, Harmanpreet Kaur’s troops received a 0-3 drubbing in Australia. A couple of months ago, the ‘Women in Blue’ also secured a 2-1 win over New Zealand at home. In a bid to complete the year 2024 on a high note, the Indian team will be aiming to complete a 3-0 sweep over the visitors.

West Indies Women

The West Indies Women’s cricket team is currently on a five-match losing streak in ODIs. Ever since registering a 3-0 series win in Pakistan earlier this year, Hayley Matthews and co. have sustained three big losses in Sri Lanka, and just lost two games in succession to Team India. In a bid to avoid its second straight series whitewash, it is imperative for the West Indies to win the third ODI and walk home with a positive result at last this year.

How Will The Kotambi Stadium Pitch Behave?

The surface at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara will likely assist slow bowlers during the middle stages of the innings. Fast bowlers will also receive considerable lateral movement with the new ball, as evidenced by India’s early striking in the first two matches of the series at the venue. Still a relatively new stadium for women’s ODIs, the average first innings total here after just two matches has turned out to be 336. Since the match is a day/night fixture, the captain winning the toss will likely opt to bat first under the sun.
