Australia and England women are set to lock horns in the third and final ODI, set to be held on Friday at Bellerive Oval, Hobart. Australia, leading the three-match series 2-0, have already secured the series but will be eager to complete a whitewash. On the other hand, England Women, who have struggled in the first two games, will be determined to salvage pride and end on a high note.
On their home turf, Australia have showcased their dominance in the last two games. In the first ODI, Australia recorded a four-wicket win. And, in the second match, they were powered to a 21-run victory by their bowlers Alana King and Kim Garth, who took four and three wickets respectively.
For England, the series has been a tough challenge. They have failed to deliver as a cohesive unit. Their batting order has been inconsistent, and their bowlers, too, have struggled to contain Australia’s power-packed line-up, allowing them to dictate terms in both matches. However, they would hope to challenge Australia in the final ODI and finish the series on a high note.
