AUSW vs SLW 3rd ODI Match Prediction

AUSW vs SLW Team Previews

Australia Women

There couldn't be a better cricketing summer for Australian Women fans than it has been. Australian women have managed to win both home and away with scintillating wins over England, West Indies, and Sri Lanka. Spanning across multiple series, Australia's success in the last match was their 17th consecutive ODI win.

In the ongoing series, Australian are on a winning spree as well, with three wins in T20Is followed by a couple of wins in one-dayers. In the last match, Australia posted a comfortable win riding on the back of Rachael Haynes, who smashed a brilliant century to take the team's total of 282. While the sum was too much to handle for the visitors, it was still a lot less than what Australia seemed to be getting to for the most part of the innings.

Just like they were with the bat, Australians did nothing wrong with the ball. Despite the fact that the visitors were pretty much in the game midway through their innings, Australian bowlers wrapped things up beautifully in the second half. Jess Jonassen was the pick of their bowlers who returned with the figures of 4 for 31 in her ten overs.

With this win over Sri Lanka, Australia now have the unassailable lead in the Women's Championship, and we expect them to make a few experiments in their forthcoming matches. Having said that, they will certainly not be any easier to play against, considering the bench strength they have.

Sri Lanka Women

Unlike their men's counterpart, the Sri Lankan women team hasn't been able to make a mark in the world cricket, yet. In the ongoing Women's World Championship, Sri Lankan women have won just one match and are currently placed at the bottom of the table with just one win to their name, amounting to only two points.

Considering the way they've performed in the series so far, expecting a win from them would be a remote ask. In the series so far, they've failed to make any impact whatsoever, failing to win any of the five matches played.

Chasing a total of a tall order, Sri Lanka started reasonably well, a lot better than they did in the first ODI. They looked well in control with 95 runs to their name in the 23rd over, but poor inexperience in the middle-order came into the picture as they all got out in trying to force the issue a little too early. They were eventually dismantled entirely for a total of just 172.
