ENG-W vs IRE-W Team Previews
England Women
England have been in excellent form during the series and have already secured a 2-0 lead. They will now look to finish the tour with another convincing performance in Worcester.
The batting has been the biggest positive for England. Maia Bouchier scored 104 in the opening ODI, while Sophia Dunkley contributed 73 as England chased down Irelandās 282 with ease. The pair will once again be expected to provide a strong platform at the top of the order. Alice Capsey, Jodi Grewcock, Freya Kemp, and Dani Gibson give England plenty of batting depth in the middle and lower order.
Englandās bowling was particularly impressive in the second ODI. Issy Wong produced a career-best spell of 5 wickets for 33 runs, while Charlie Dean continued to make an impact with her off-spin. With the series already won, England could use the final match to give opportunities to some of the younger members of the squad.

Ireland Women
Ireland will be disappointed after losing the series but will have one final opportunity to finish on a positive note. Their batting showed promise in the first ODI, but they were bowled out for just 165 in the second match.
Gaby Lewis remains one of Irelandās most important players and will be expected to provide another strong start at the top of the order. Amy Hunter has also been among their better performers, scoring 64 in the second ODI. Rebecca Stokell and Orla Prendergast add further experience to the middle order, while Leah Paul and Louise Little provide useful all-round options.
The bowling unit will need to improve significantly if Ireland are to challenge England. Issy Wongās five-wicket haul in the second ODI highlighted the difference between the two attacks, and Ireland will need to find a way to contain Englandās aggressive top order.
Ireland Women Expected Playing 11
Gaby Lewis (C), Alice Tector, Amy Hunter (WK), Orla Prendergast, Rebecca Stokell, Kia McCartney, Arlene Kelly, Leah Paul, Louise Little, Jane Maguire, Cara Murray
ENG-W vs IRE-W Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bat first. England and Ireland have played the first two matches of the series at different venues, with the final ODI scheduled for Worcester.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The third ODI will be played at New Road in Worcester. The surface can offer some assistance to the seamers, particularly with the new ball, so the batters will need to be careful early in the innings. However, once they settle down, there should be opportunities to score freely.
The weather could play a role, with conditions in England often making seam movement a factor. The team batting first will look to put up a competitive total and make the most of the better batting conditions.
ENG-W vs IRE-W : Who Will Win?
We are backing England Women to win this match. They have been comfortably the better side in the first two ODIs, winning both games with plenty of room to spare. Their batting has been particularly impressive, while Issy Wong and Charlie Dean have led an increasingly effective bowling attack.
We expect the hosts to complete a clean sweep.
Bet on England Women to win.
