Thu Jan 16 02:42:32 UTC 2025: ## India Women Aim for Clean Sweep Against Ireland in Final ODI

**Rajkot, India:** India Women will look to complete a clean sweep against Ireland Women in the third and final One Day International (ODI) on Wednesday. India has already secured two resounding victories in the series, with their most recent win seeing them post a record 370/5, a new highest ODI total for the team. This match also saw Smriti Mandhana achieve the fastest century by an Indian woman in ODIs, surpassing Harmanpreet Kaur’s previous record.

The two teams have met in 14 ODIs previously, with India undefeated against Ireland in the format. Their last encounter was in the 2023 T20 World Cup, which India won by five runs.

The match will be broadcast live on Sports 18 channels in India, with free live streaming available on JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar. Willow TV will stream the match in the USA and Canada.

The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium pitch in Rajkot is expected to favour batsmen in the initial overs, offering good bounce and pace. However, as the match progresses, it is likely to become more spin-friendly, offering increased turn and uneven bounce.

**Playing XI:**

**India:** Smriti Mandhana (capt.), Deepti Sharma (vice-capt.), Pritika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Uma Chetry (wk), Richa Ghosh (wk), Taja Hasanbis, Raghavi Bist, Minnu Mani, Priya Mishra, Tanuja Kanwer, Titas Sadhu, Saima Thakur, Sayali Satghare.

**Ireland:** Gaby Lewis (capt.), Eva Canning, Christina Coulter-Reilly, Alana Dalzell, Laura Delaney, Georgina Dempsey, Sarah Forbes, Arlene Kelly, Joanna Loughran, Amy Maguire, Leah Paul, Orla Prendergast, Una Raymond-Hoey, Freya Sargent, Rebecca Stokell.
