The momentum is with the England Women's side as they are coming from a T20I series victory against India. The hosts have been outstanding with Sophia Dunkley and Sophie Ecclestone leading the charge with bat and ball. Even without Heather Knight and Nat Sciver, they are doing well. It will be interesting to see if they are able to keep their momentum in the ODIs also.

Meanwhile, for the visitors, it's time to bounce back after a T20I series defeat against the hosts, England. However, India needs to put up a good performance with the bat if they want to challenge England.

The spotlight will be on Jhulan Goswami as she will play her last ODI series. The legendary pacer had announced her decision to retire from ODIs after the England series. Goswami's addition in ODIs will strengthen the bowling attack. It is the batting India needs to focus on though. Big players like Kaur, Mandhana, and Deepti Sharma have not contributed consistently. Even Shafali Verma has not fired.
