India Women vs West Indies Women: 3rd ODI Match Preview and Predictions

The third and final One-Day International (ODI) match between India Women and West Indies Women is set to take place on Friday, December 27, 2024, at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. India Women have already clinched the series with a 2-0 lead after winning the first two ODIs convincingly.

India Women have been in impressive form, with their strong batting lineup led by Smriti Mandhana and Harleen Deol. In the first ODI, they hammered 314 runs after being asked to bat first and later bundled the opposition for just 103 to win by 211 runs. In the previous match, they put up a first-innings total of 358, which the West Indies Women could not match, eventually bowled out for 243 runs.

The West Indies Women, on the other hand, are on a five-match losing streak in ODIs. Despite having experienced players like Hayley Matthews and Deandra Dottin, they have struggled to keep up with India’s dominant performance. The visitors will need to pull off a miracle to avoid their second straight series whitewash.

The surface at the Kotambi Stadium provides decent assistance for both batters and bowlers. The team winning the toss may decide to bat first, with the new ball swinging around for a few overs in the second innings.

India’s Renuka Thakur has been the standout bowler in the series so far, picking six wickets and holding the key with the new ball. Harleen Deol is also in impressive form, scoring 159 runs in two innings and hitting a ton in the previous game.

The match will be live telecast by the Sports18 network and streamed on JioCinema app and website. The action is set to commence at 9:30 AM IST.
