England Women vs Sri Lanka Women, 3rd ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details
The third ODI of the three-match series between England Women and Sri Lanka Women will be played on September 14 at Grace Road ground in Leicester. The match is expected to kick off at 5 PM IST.
England Women are leading the series by 1-0. After a seven wicket-win for the hosts in the first ODI, they got off to a flying start in the second match. Sri Lanka were struggling at 106/9 after 30.5 overs before the rain took center stage. The visitors were poised to get bundled out for another paltry total but the rain saved the day for them.
Chamari Athapaththu and Hasini Perera put up fighting scores of 34 (34) and 31* (58). The rest of the batting unit looked in complete disarray as Lauren Filer, Charlotte Dean, and Alice Davidson-Richards picked up two wickets each to break the back of the Sri Lankan line-up.
With only one match to go, England Women cannot lose the series from this point onwards and would love to wrap up this fixture in fine style. On the other hand, Sri Lanka Women have a chance of leveling the series provided they are at the top of their game.
