Top 3 needs to play till the end
If the likes of Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Harmanpreet Kaur play till the end of the innings, India is likely to score big or chase down any total. Their excellent batting display in the 2nd T20I helped India level the series 1-1. But it has been a hit and a miss for the women in blue.
Bowling department need to fire
The bowling department need to do well. The likes of Arundhati Reddy, Radha Yadav, Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma have failed to deliver during the powerplay and death overs. They need to pull up their off shocks and ensure India women restrict England women to a below par total or prevent a run chase by taking wickets at regular intervals.
Middle-order need to step up, keep wickets in hand
The middle-order batters need to step up in the final T20I as India women are highly dependent on top 3. Adding to it, the players need to ensure India women do not lose wickets at regular intervals. India women lost set batsmen in the 2nd T20I which prevented them from scoring big. Notably, India were bowled out twice during the ODI series. The players need to keep the scoring rate at par and prevent a middle-order battle collapse.
