In the previous match, Renuka Singh Thakur was ruled out which made may for young Arundhati Reddy, who was making her debut. The last game was a record-breaking game, with over 600 runs scored in total. For India, it was the duo of captain Harmanpreet Kaur (103 off 88) and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana (136 off 120) who smashed their sixth and seventh ODI century, respectively. With the help of two tons, India managed to 325/3 in 50 overs, making it the first 300-plus total in Women's ODIs at home.
