The third T20 international between England and India women is set to take place today, July 4, 2025, at The Oval in London. India currently leads the five-match series 2-0, after securing a 97-run victory in the first T20I and a 24-run win in the second.
In the second T20I, India recovered from an early setback to post a competitive total of 181/4, thanks to half-centuries from Jemimah Rodrigues and Amanjot Kaur. England, in response, could only manage 157/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Shree Charani's double blow in the 15th over significantly hampered England's chase.
Smriti Mandhana is in exceptional form, having recently scored her maiden T20I century in the first match of the series. She became the first Indian woman to score centuries in all three formats of international cricket. In the second T20I, Mandhana also achieved the milestone of playing her 150th T20I for India. Alongside Shafali Verma, Mandhana holds the record for the most fifty-plus partnerships in women's T20Is.
England will be without their captain, Nat Sciver-Brunt, for the third T20I due to a left groin injury. Tammy Beaumont will captain the side in her absence. Maia Bouchier has been drafted into the squad as cover. Sciver-Brunt expressed that her side will not panic and is determined to stay in the series.
The Indian women's team is aiming to seal the T20I series against England with a win in the third match. A victory at The Oval would mark their first-ever multi-game bilateral T20 series win against England.
The third T20I will be televised live in India on the Sony Sports Network (Sony Sports 1 channel). Live streaming will also be available on the SonyLIV app and website, as well as on Fancode. The match is scheduled to begin at 11:05 PM IST, with the toss taking place at 10:35 PM IST.
