ENG-W Vs IND-W, 3rd WODI, Live Cricket Scores: Deepti Sharma Gets Third, England 9 Down

It's redemption time for India Women. Their preparation for the 2022 World Cup has been chaotic, to say the least. After the coronavirus break, they returned to action by hosting South Africa and lost the ODIs 1-4. Now, they are 0-2 down against England Women in the three-match series in England. With months before the start of the global tournament in New Zealand, these results sure don't look good. Now, Mithali Raj & Co need a morale-boosting win. In the first ODI at County Ground, Bristol, the hosts chased down a target of 202 in 34.5 overs for an eight-wicket win. India did improve their performance in the second match in Taunton, but still ended up losing by five wickets after posting 221 all out. So far, skipper Raj has hit two fifties, 59 and 72, but the second-highest knock was Shafali Verma's 44 in the first match. Bowlers have also failed to live up to the expectations, getting only seven wickets in the series so far. In contrast, England have taken 18 Indian wickets. Once again, it will be one tough outing for India Women.
