Australia Women vs England Women 3rd T20I: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report and Live Streaming Details
The third and final game of the T20I series between Australia Women and England Women will be played on January 23. The second T20I was washed out due to rain. Australia currently lead the multi-format Ashes series 3-1.
Australia won the first game comprehensively. They chased down 170 in 17 overs, thanks to a solid partnership between Meg Lanning and Tahlia McGrath. The English batters did a fine job, but their bowlers failed to step up and take opposition wickets.
Both teams arrived at the Adelaide Oval for the second game, where Meg Lanning won the toss and opted to bowl first. England openers provided a steady start, scoring 25 in 4.1 overs before the rains arrived.
With the rain showing no signs of relenting, the game had to be called off. Now both teams will lock horns in the final game of the T20I series, where they'll look to grab two points. Expect another cracking contest on Sunday before the action shifts to the longest format of the game.
