England women will take on Sri Lanka women in the 3rd and final T20 international of the ongoing series later tomorrow. The T20I series is currently tied at one game apiece and there is everything to play for in this concluding game of the T20I series. The Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Atapattu provided a terrific performance with the bat and ball in the second game of the series. She not only bowled well but also followed the good performance with the ball with a superb fifty from 26 balls.

This win was the first ever one for Sri Lankan women against England women. Not only did the Sri Lankan women win the match they did it dominantly. The English women played a new-look side and it was completely at sea against the experienced Sri Lankan bowling attack. They will be looking to forget this terrible display in a canter.

ENGW vs SLW Team Previews

England Women

The England women's team was outplayed by the Sri Lankan women in the 2nd T20 international played at the venue of Chelmsford. After they were asked to bat first, the England batters lost the plot early on in the competition. They kept losing wickets regularly in the first innings. England was 66 for 8 at one stage. But lower down the order Charlotte Dean scored 34 runs which allowed some respectability to the England total taking it above the 100-run mark. However, this score was way below what was required to make it a challenging total for Sri Lankan women.

The Sri Lankan women managed to chase down this score easily in 13.2 overs with 8 wickets to spare. After this disastrous display of batting, England will now be looking at their middle-order stalwarts Amy Jones and Heather Knight to take them to a series win in this final all-important game of the series. Heather Knight has scored 181 runs from her last 10 appearances for England with an average of 22.63 and she is scoring these runs with a strike rate of 113. Amy Jones has also collected 158 runs from her last ten T20 international games with an average of 26.33 and a strike rate of 139.

Another batter the English women will look up to is Danni Wyatt. Although she did not score too many runs in the last match, she has put together 278 runs from her last 10 games with an average of 27.8 and with a good strike rate of 147.87. The English bowling was completely ineffective in their last match with just their spinners Alice Capsey and Sarah Glenn succeeding in keeping their scoring rate in control. The other England pacers were taken to the cleaners by the Sri Lankan batter in this last match at Chelmsford.

Sri Lanka Women

The Sri Lankan women have made a solid comeback in this T20I series. Their bowling attack was right on the money in their last game and never gave their opposition a sniff. England women never let the English batters settle down and develop a partnership. Bowlers such as Udeshika Prabodhini, Inoshi Priyadharshani, and Kavisha Dilhari were the best bowlers for Sri Lankan women. Another bowler who did well for Sri Lankan women was Inoka Ranaweera. She also picked up a couple of scalps for 25 runs from 3 overs.

Inoka Ranaweera is a left-arm spinner and she has succeeded in picking up 12 victims from her last ten games with an economy rate of 6.57. As far as the Sri Lankan batting order was concerned, their captain Chamari Athapaththu led the team from the front once again with a hard-hitting 55 from 31 balls. This effort from Athapaththu practically sealed the game for Sri Lanka. By far Chamari Athapaththu has been the most in-form batter for Sri Lanka in the recent matches. She has scored 290 runs in her last 10 games with an average of 22.63 and a strike rate of 113.

Another batter to watch out for is Harshitha Samarawickrama. She remained unbeaten on 30 from 35 balls in the last game. Although this was not an explosive innings, she appeared steady and at ease against the English bowlers. We are expecting her to make another useful contribution in the final match of the series. Although Sri Lankan women lost the wicket of Anushka Sanjeewani early on in their inning there were no other hiccups during the Sri Lankan innings and the team got through to the target without too much trouble. 

Sri Lanka Women Playing 11

Chamari Atapattu, Anushka Sanjeewani, Hasini Perera, Harshitha Madavi, Nilakshi de Silva, Vishmi Gunaratne, Kavisha Dilhari, Inoka Ranaweera, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoshi Fernando.

ENGW vs SLW Toss Prediction

You can usually find the conditions at the County Ground in Derbyshire to be favorable to the batters when they bat first. From the 9 women's T20 international games played at the venue, 6 games have been won by the team batting first. As the weather is likely to remain clear during the game, the team winning the toss is more likely to bat first.

Read our guide on toss predictions to learn how we analyze and come up with our tips.

Pitch and Conditions

The surface on offer at the Derbyshire venue is a well-balanced one. There will be some help for both batswomen and bowlers. Similar to all the places in England the seamers will get some assistance from the track when the ball is new. However, when the batters succeed in seeing off the initial overs there will be plenty of opportunities to score big runs. 

There is a chance of getting overcast conditions during the game. This will allow the seamers to get some movement from the air. This will make playing conditions tougher for the batters. Spinners will have to maintain tight line and length as the batters are sure to try and attack them in middle overs. Although we may get cloudy conditions, the weather will remain humid and warm.

ENGW vs SLW Betting Tips

The England women will still be in a bit of shock after the reversal in the second match. They not only lost the game but lost it pretty badly. But this doesn’t mean they have a poor line-up. It was just a bad day at the office and it happens to the best of teams. They have a lot of talent in their ranks and their batting line-up is quite strong. However, they will have to watch out for the wily Sri Lankan spinner. The English underperforming seam bowling attack might hurt them again. Sri Lankan management will be hoping that their skipper can motivate their team once more to take them to a memorable series victory. But we think that England players will succeed in picking a win here and take the series.
