After losing the first two ODIs of the three-match series, India will aim for a consolation win against England in the final game. The match will be played at New Road Cricket Ground in Worcester.
The good news for India is that skipper Mithali Raj has recovered from the neck pain she felt during the second ODI. Vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur took captaincy duties during England's chase.
Mithali, with two consecutive fifties, has been the only bright spot in an otherwise disappointing batting show from India. And the team management will hope for another good outing from the veteran as they hope to revive the fortunes of the side before the start of the T20I series.
The maximum amount of focus will be on Harmnapreet, who has been out of form with the bat since the 2017 World Cup. She only has two fifty-plus scores to her name since the 2017 mega event and her unproductive outings have cost India big time in the format.
Mithali has been waging a lone battle in the ODIs and some support from other batters would really help India's case.
England, on the other hand, are playing some very good cricket and will hope to continue the same.
