Australia Women will play England Women in the first of the three-match ODI series at Manuka Oval in Canberra on Thursday (February 3). The home team recently clinched three-match T20I series 1-0. They won the opening game while the 2nd and 3rd T20Is were washed out.
England are yet to win a game in the series and will hope to register their first win of the tour. The Australian women, on the other hand, will come out firing and hope to end the series on a high.
The pitch at Manuka Oval, Canberra, assist batsmen more and the captain winning the toss might opt to bat first.
Players to look out for:
Tahila McGrath: McGrath scored 91 runs and scalped three wickets at an average of 10.67 in two T20Is against England. In the lone Test between Australia and England, she took two wickets.
Heather Knight: The England skipper ha a fantastic Test match and scored 216 runs. She will hope to continue her form in the 50-over format.
