It’s been a great tour with both sides producing some close encounters. The ongoing ODI series is the perfect example of the two strong sides playing against each other. England Women and India Women have won one game each, and the final ODI will decide which way the series is heading. The final game will be played at Riverside Ground on Tuesday, which will commence at 5:30 PM.
Toss Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s Toss?
The toss will have a massive role in this game. The second ODI saw the rain spoiling the game, and it was reduced to 29 overs to each side. Batting first becomes difficult in such matches, and bowlers can extract more. Something similar we might see in the third game with a prediction of 40 percent rain. That means whoever wins the toss will look to bowl first.
