Following a lacklustre performance at Lord’s, where injudicious shot selection let them down in challenging conditions, India are facing a tough challenge as they take on a confident England side in the series-deciding third Women’s One-Day International (ODI) at Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street today. The women in blue got the luck on their side as they won the toss in the match. India decided to set the target to put early pressure on England.
Series levelled as Teams head into series decider
India had begun the series on a high, securing a victory in the first ODI with a composed batting display to win by four wickets. However, rain-affected conditions in the second match in London exposed their frailties, as the visiting side faltered with both bat and ball, allowing England to level the series 1-1.

With the ICC Women’s World Cup just around the corner — set to begin on September 30 across venues in Sri Lanka and India — both teams view this series as critical preparation. Securing a series win would provide either side with momentum heading into the marquee 50-over tournament.
Capsey released ahead of match; Amanjot likely to return for India
Coming back to team dynamics for thrid ODI, Alice Capsey was released from the England squad on the eve of the match, allowing her to turn out for Surrey. With moisture expected on the surface, the hosts may consider adding an extra seamer to their line-up.
For India, Amanjot Kaur, who was rested for the Lord's ODI despite a strong showing in the series opener, is likely to return to the playing XI. The visitors may also opt for the experienced Radha Yadav over Sree Charani, given the conditions and balance.

Batting collapse hurt India in second ODI
In the truncated 29-over contest, India managed only 143 for eight, primarily due to poor shot selection and a lack of adaptation to the conditions. Only Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma offered resistance, while the rest of the batting lineup struggled against England’s spinners, particularly Sophie Ecclestone, Em Arlott, and Linsey Smith.
Bowling fails to back up batting efforts
India’s bowling attack, expected to defend a modest total, faltered as England’s top order chased down the target comfortably with balls to spare. The bowlers failed to find early breakthroughs, putting no real pressure on the English batters.
Key players need to step up for the decider
Heading into the all-important third ODI at Chester-le-Street, India need a more collective effort. While Mandhana and Deepti have been consistent, the team will hope for impactful contributions from captain Harmanpreet Kaur, Jemimah Rodrigues, Pratika Rawal, and Harleen Deol. Lower-order resilience from Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma will also be key.
On the bowling front, pacers will aim to provide early breakthroughs before the spinners take charge in the middle overs.
England build Momentum, eye series win
England, buoyed by a dominant second ODI victory, now have the upper hand. Their spinners, led by the ever-reliable Ecclestone and supported by Arlott and Smith, will look to maintain their grip. Meanwhile, the likes of Amy Jones, Tammy Beaumont, and captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will seek solid outings with the bat.
Tensions rise following on-field incident
Tensions in the series flared in the second ODI when India appealed for “obstructing the field” against Tammy Beaumont. Jemimah Rodrigues had thrown the ball at the stumps, and India believed Beaumont had intentionally blocked it. The third umpire ruled "not out" after reviewing replays, leading to visible frustration in the Indian camp — adding extra spice to the final match.
