India aim for spin depth, flexible bowling options

After a historic T20I series win against England, India head into the ODI leg with momentum, confidence, and on the back of a dominant show by their spinners. In the shortest format, Radha Yadav and Sree Charani brought control and breakthroughs at crucial moments and captain Harmanpreet Kaur will hope that they can continue to play a defining role in the three-match ODI series that begins on Wednesday.

The team is keen to maximise the advantage of getting assistance from the conditions. “Charani is a key player,” said the captain. “She was impressive in WPL and has been outstanding recently. Radha, too, has made a strong comeback and I hope this combination continues to help us even in ODIs.”
