India Women (IND W) are set to face Australia Women (AUS W) in the third and final ODI of the three-match series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, September 20.

India  leveled the series in the second ODI, thanks to a brilliant century from Smriti Mandhana and some terrific bowling from Kranti Goud, who successfully contained the visitors’ scoring rate. The hosts will now look to seal the decider in front of the home crowd and carry winning momentum into the upcoming World Cup.

Meanwhile, Australia started the series strongly, claiming victory in the opening match despite their bowlers going for runs as Phoebe Litchfield, Beth Mooney, and Annabel Sutherland led the chase. Australia will also be eager to clinch the series win and head into the marquee tournament on a positive note.

The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is generally dry and hard, making it ideal for batting, especially in the first innings. The team batting first can make the best use of the conditions and put up a challenging total on the board. The venue has historically produced high-scoring encounters, although the pitch also offers some assistance to bowlers.

The wicketkeeper-batter Beth Mooney could prove to be the key player in this decisive clash. She has already scored 95 runs in the series, including an unbeaten 77 in the opening ODI that guided Australia to victory. With her ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when needed, Mooney will once again be crucial to Australia’s chances of clinching the series.

Kranti Goud has emerged as the leading wicket-taker in the series, playing a pivotal role in India’s comeback during the second ODI. She returned impressive figures of 3/28, applying pressure on the Australian batters and restricting their scoring rate. Her 10 overs will be crucial once again as the hosts aim to seal the series.
