England Women vs Sri Lanka Women 3rd ODI: Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between ENG-W vs SL-W?

The series is on the line as England women will host Sri Lanka on September 14 at Grace Road in Leicester. The home team won the first match of the series quite comfortably and did remarkably well in the second match as well before rain played a spoilsport. Hence, they are currently in the driver’s seat and will be hoping to get the job done when they meet on Thursday.

When it comes to Sri Lanka, their batters have been extremely poor so far. Chamari Athapaththu has once again been the only hope while Hasini Perera has shown glimpses of her form in the last match. Overall, there’s a lot of room for improvement and that’s where the team needs to focus on at the moment.

ENG-W vs SL-W Probable Best Performers:

Probable Best Batter: 
Chamari Athapaththu (SL-W)

Legendary batter Chamari Athapaththu finished the T20I series as the leading run-scorer and has done a decent job in the ODIs so far but that is not enough. In order to help her team get over the line, the opener needs to get better in the final match of the series. She has amassed 44 runs in two matches so far.

Probable Best Bowler:
Lauren Filer (ENG-W)

England pacers have been incredible in the series so far. Lauren Filer particularly has picked up five wickets in two matches so far and is currently the leading wicket-taker in the ODI series. She will aim to continue in the same rhythm and get things done in Leicester.
