ENG W vs IND W 3rd ODI playing 11, toss time (IST), live streaming in India
Following a lacklustre performance at Lord's, where injudicious shot selection let them down in challenging conditions, India have a tough challenge ahead 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 on Tuesday. 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. Total matches: 78 England Women won: 41 India Women won: 35 No results: 2 Full squads of both the teams England Women ODI squad: Nat Sciver-Brunt (c), Em Arlott, Sophia Dunkley, Emma Lamb, Tammy Beaumont (wk), Amy Jones (wk), Maia Bouchier, Kate Cross, Alice Davidson-Richards, Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell India Women ODI squad: Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Smriti Mandhana (vc), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Yastika Bhatia (wk), Tejal Hasabnis, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Sree Charani, Shuchi Upadhyay, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Goud, Sayali Satghare 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. 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.

Smriti Mandhana Remains Grounded Amid 2025 World Cup Excitement: 'Not Thinking...'
Last Updated: Smriti Mandhana, with 9,000+ international runs, is focusing on the process for the 2025 ICC Women's World Cup. She emphasizes calmness and launched City Cricket Academy in Dubai. As the excitement surrounding the 2025 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup grows, India's batting star Smriti Mandhana remains grounded. With over 9,000 international runs and a decade-long career marked by calmness and consistency, Mandhana is approaching this period with humility rather than hype. During a conversation with cricket historian Sunil Yash Kalra on the Cricket Predicta Show, Mandhana emphasized her philosophy of staying focused on the present. She expressed, 'I've always been a big believer in not thinking too far ahead. We have to focus on the process, do every day right—and that's the aim." Mandhana, who is set to play a crucial role in India's World Cup campaign, believes collective calmness, rather than anticipation, is key. She noted, 'Even as a team, everyone's calm. We've got a long road ahead over the next five to six months. I wouldn't like to speak a lot about it. Cricket is such a game—you do your things right, things fall in place. Let's just try and do that well." While prioritising India's World Cup preparations, Mandhana is also quietly planning for the future of the sport. She recently launched the City Cricket Academy by Smriti Mandhana in Dubai, an initiative inspired by her long-standing relationship with UK-based coach Don Bhagawati, who will lead the academy's training programs. Statistically, Mandhana is a towering figure in modern cricket. In Tests, she averages 57.18 across 12 innings with two centuries. Her ODI record boasts 4,501 runs at 46.4, and her T20I statistics include 3,982 runs with a strike rate close to 124. Her 1,000+ boundaries across formats reflect her elegance and authority at the crease. (With IANS Inputs) view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Holkar stadium to shine brighter with LED lights from Oct
Indore: The iconic Holkar stadium is all set to dazzle under a new lighting system as its old metal halide floodlights are being replaced with LED lights ahead of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 in Oct. The upgrade is not just about brighter lights; it's a leap toward international standards, enabling features like instant illumination and dynamic DMX light shows, which were previously impossible at the venue. DMX light shows have become a popular attraction among spectators and are now a regular feature at major sporting events. For nearly two decades, the stadium operated with six high-mast floodlights powered by metal halide lamps, supported by synchronised diesel generator sets to avoid power interruptions. These lamps, which took up to 30 minutes to fully illuminate, are now making way for modern LED systems known for their superior energy efficiency, sharper focus, enhanced colour rendering, and immediate switch-on capability. "The floodlights are being replaced with LED systems to improve intensity, coverage, and quality. Tenders have been finalised and installation is underway. A BCCI inspection team has already reviewed the preparations," MPCA president Abhilash Khandekar told TOI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo The new system will also allow the stadium to host DMX light shows, synchronised light displays often seen at high-profile international matches. While Gwalior's new stadium has already featured such shows during the Madhya Pradesh League, this will be a first for Holkar stadium, significantly enhancing the live experience for fans and broadcasters alike. Apart from the lighting upgrade, other improvements include repairs to damaged seating and minor civil renovations to ready the venue for the global tournament. Holkar stadium will host five matches during the ICC Women's World Cup: Australia vs New Zealand (Oct1), New Zealand vs South Africa (Oct 6), India vs England (Oct 19), Australia vs England (Oct 22), and Australia vs South Africa (Oct 25). The tournament will run from Sept 30 to Nov 2 across India, with Indore rejoining the international cricket circuit in style.

There have been some good moments but we're a team in transition and we need to keep working hard to do what we're trying to do more consistently, and for longer. That'll be asked of us again in the ODIs. 'This series is the perfect preparation for the ICC Women's World Cup in India this autumn, but it's also a series we're determined to win.'
