IRE W vs IND W: India aim for clean sweep in final ODI vs Ireland
The Hindu
India aims for a clean sweep against Ireland in the women's ODI series after two dominant victories.
A dominant India will fancy their chances of completing a clean sweep of the women's ODI series against Ireland in the third and final match here on Wednesday, having recorded two convincing wins in the preceding games.
With another power-packed batting performance, the Indian team will be aiming to continue their impressive run and finish on a high note.
Pratika Rawal, after scoring her third half-century in just four innings, will be eager to translate her start into a maiden hundred.
Her blistering opening partnerships with skipper Smriti Mandhana have been the biggest takeaway of the series.
The duo added 156 runs for the first wicket in their previous outing, marking their third century-plus stand in five innings.
Mandhana's consistency at the top continues to be a major highlight for India as the flamboyant left-hander has carried on her form across formats from the West Indies series.
Harleen Deol, who initially struggled for momentum, found her rhythm later in the innings, scoring an important 89.
