India Women vs Australia Women, 3rd ODI: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

The third and final game of the ODI series between India Women and Australia Women will be played on January 2. The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will host the final game of this tour before the action shifts to Navi Mumbai for the T20I series.

After winning the first ODI, Australia Women carried forward the winning momentum and won the second game to take an unassailable lead in the series. However, they had to work hard for the thrilling three-run win on Saturday.

After electing to bat first, Phoebe Litchfield (63) and Ellyse Perry (50) hit fifties but Deepti Sharma derailed the Southern Stars by picking up a fifer. Alana King at the backend of the innings played a fantastic cameo of 28* off 17 balls to take the visitors to 258/8.

In reply, Richa Ghosh batted at three and played a brilliant knock of 96. Her departure in the 44th over helped Australia Women storm back into the contest. They displayed nerves of steel to ultimately emerge victorious by three runs.

India Women failed to close out the chase after being in a very good position. Also, the fielding didn’t help their cause as they dropped seven catches in total. With two back-to-back losses, the hosts will have to bring out their A-game to finish the series on a high.

Australia Women displayed a solid performance in both games and will be high on confidence. They will be looking to whitewash the Women in Blue when they take the field in the third ODI on Wednesday.

India Women vs Australia Women Pitch Report

The surface at the Wankhede Stadium is slow in nature. We saw the ball spin square in the second game and the batters will have to work hard for their runs. The spinners will get plenty of assistance from the surface and anything around 250 will be a good total to defend here.
