The stage is set for a series decider as India Women take on England Women in the third and final T20I at Taunton on June 2. With the three-match series level at 1-1, both teams have one final opportunity to build momentum before the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 begins later this month.
India started the series in style with a 38-run victory in Chelmsford, powered by impressive half-centuries from Yastika Bhatia and Jemimah Rodrigues. However, England bounced back strongly in Bristol, where Freya Kemp’s all-round performance helped the hosts register a 26-run win and force a decider.
India Women tour of England: Schedule, date, timing & venue
| Date | Match | Venue | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 28, 2026 | 1st T20I | County Ground, Chelmsford | IND won by 38 runs |
| May 30, 2026 | 2nd T20I | County Ground, Bristol | ENG won by 26 runs |
| June 2, 2026 | 3rd T20I | The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton | TBP |
For India, the final T20I will not just give the visitors a chance to win another overseas series, but they can address concerns in the middle order before the World Cup. The team management will be hoping for bigger contributions from experienced campaigners Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh after inconsistent returns in the first two matches.
England, meanwhile, have their own batting concerns. Amy Jones’ 67 in the series opener remains the only half-century scored by an England batter across the first two games. The hosts will be eager for a stronger collective batting effort in the decider.
