England Women are depleted with Nat Sciver-Brunt getting ruled out. India, on the other hand, have Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Harmanpreet Kaur. Despite losing the previous game, India hit eight more fours than England.
Sophie Ecclestone smashed 35 runs in the second T20I. In the previous game, she made 10 runs and picked up 1 for 24 in four overs. The left-arm spinner has an exceptional record in the shorter format and should enjoy bowling at Old Trafford.
