TOSS – West Indies Women have won the toss and they will BAT first.
For the West Indies, however, this game holds far greater significance. Pride aside, vital ICC Women’s Championship points are at stake, as they continue their fight for automatic qualification for the 2025 World Cup. Currently sitting 9th in the standings, the Windies must win all four of their remaining games to secure a direct qualification and avoid playing in the qualifying tournament. Can the West Indies deliver a spirited performance and claim two crucial points, or will India continue their dominant run? Let’s find out.
India’s batting has been the highlight, with consecutive 300-plus totals in the first two matches. Their 358 in the previous game equalled their highest-ever ODI total. With the series already in the bag and an eye on the 2025 ODI World Cup at home, the Indian management might use this dead rubber as an opportunity to test their bench strength and assess potential combinations.
Hello and welcome, everyone! The final ODI of the series is upon us. Unlike the T20I series, where the fate of the series was still undecided heading into the third game, this longer-format contest has already been wrapped up. Back-to-back dominant performances by the Women in Blue have secured them the series, showcasing their supremacy with clinical displays.
India Women, after dominating the first two ODIs, are now set to complete a 3-0 clean sweep, while West Indies Women will be desperate to end their tour on a high note and salvage some pride. The stage is set for this final clash at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara, with excitement building for what promises to be another high-scoring encounter. India Women have been nothing short of clinical, securing comfortable victories in the first two games thanks to a blend of batting brilliance and sharp bowling. Smriti Mandhana’s consistency and Pratika Rawal’s fluent starts at the top have laid the foundation for substantial totals. The highlight of the series so far came from Harleen Deol, whose scintillating century in the second ODI propelled India to a mammoth total of 358. On the other hand, West Indies Women have struggled to find their rhythm. Their bowling attack, apart from Hayley Matthews and Zaida James, has lacked the consistency needed to challenge India’s strong batting lineup. The batting unit has been equally underwhelming, with frequent collapses and an inability to build partnerships. Hayley Matthews with a century and some support from Shemaine Campbelle have been the only two to show some resistance, but the team as a whole has fallen well short of the mark. For India, Renuka Singh Thakur and Priya Mishra have been standout performers with the ball, consistently troubling the West Indies batters and keeping them under pressure. With the series already in hand, India Women may look to test their bench strength while still aiming to end the year on a high. West Indies Women, with nothing to lose, have the opportunity to play with freedom and take the fight to India. While the previous two games have largely been one-sided, this final ODI presents a chance for the West Indies to put up a better fight and for India to assert their dominance once again. All signs point to an exciting finale to this series!
