After losing the first ODI, England bounced back in a rain-affected second match. With their momentum and home conditions, the hosts will be full of confidence ahead of the decider.
However, India has already created history by winning the T20I series on this tour. They will also be looking to lift the ODI trophy and will expect their key players to perform under pressure.

Key players to watch
England Women’s Team
• Sophie Ecclestone: The left-arm spinner continues to be England’s most dangerous bowler. She has taken 4 wickets in this series and 26 in her career against India. If the match goes ahead, she could play a key role again.
• Amy Jones: Her unbeaten 46 in the 2nd ODI was very good and composed. She averages over 47 in ODIs this year and is England’s most reliable finisher.
• Tammy Beaumont: With a strong record on this ground and against India, she can create momentum in the top order. Her performances in recent months have been excellent.
India Women’s Team
• Deepti Sharma: India’s best women’s player in this series so far. Two unbeaten knocks (62* and 30*) and important bowling contributions in the T20 matches make her indispensable in the team.
• Smriti Mandhana: The opener is doing well despite not converting starts into big scores. If she stays after the powerplay, she can quickly take control of the match.
• Harmanpreet Kaur: A big innings is expected from her. The captain has a good record against England but has not performed well in the series so far. This is a good opportunity to perform in such a pressure match and make your team win

Grand Leauge
Top Picks:
- Deepti Sharma (C): Batting deep and bowling regularly — ideal fantasy captain.

- Smriti Mandhana: Will open and has a strong record vs England.
- Amy Jones: In top form, solid choice for small leagues.
Other Options:
- Nat Sciver-Brunt: Quiet series so far, but has the experience and stats vs India.
- Tammy Beaumont: Reliable at the top and performs at this venue.
- Sneh Rana: Useful with both batting & bowling in spinning conditions.
- Kranti Goud: A handy pick from India’s bowling attack — economical and sneaky wickets.
Match Prediction– ENG-W vs IND-W
England are slightly ahead in terms of momentum, having dominated the last match and holding a better record at Chester-le-Street. They also have a more settled bowling attack for English conditions, with Ecclestone, Dean, and Bell all bowling with control.
But India are more than capable of pulling off a win. If Mandhana or Harmanpreet can fire, and Deepti continues her purple patch, the visitors can chase or defend a total effectively. Rain could once again play a role, and if the match gets shortened, India might actually benefit due to their aggressive batting in limited overs.
Possible Scores:
- First innings score (batting first): 230–240
- Chasing team winning score: 250–260
Final Prediction:
India womens will win the match
Final Word
The series has seen both teams have their moments. The third ODI should be a fitting end to what’s been a well-matched tour. England will lean on their home conditions and bowling depth, while India will hope their experienced batting unit — especially Harmanpreet and Mandhana — can deliver when it counts. Expect a close finish, possibly rain-affected again, but with plenty of quality cricket on show.
Stay tuned, and keep an eye on the toss — it might just decide the outcome.
