IND-W vs WI-W, 3rd ODI preview: With the series already in the bag, India likely to experiment in final game
The HinduHazy conditions persisted on Thursday morning as India trained at the Kotambi Stadium ahead of its final women’s ODI against the West Indies. With the Women’s ODI World Cup scheduled at home for next year, the Indian team has already started planning for the marquee event, and as bowling coach Aavishkar Salvi indicated, working towards achieving the goal remains the side’s only target. Coming on the back of an embarrassing ODI series defeat against Australia, India bounced back smartly with convincing T20I and ODI series wins against the West Indies, and as it hopes to end the year on a high with a win on Friday, Salvi stated, “Since ours is a process-driven team, a few losses or a few wins don’t get into our heads. When our bowlers get an opportunity to bowl at them in the nets, it’s always a learning experience for the bowlers - what kind of lengths we need to bowl, what kind of lines we need to bowl against attacking players,” Salvi, a former India fast bowler, said.
