Capitalizing on their momentum after two consecutive dominant victories, England Women can now approach the remaining games with the goal of completing a series whitewash. The team's aggressive batting strategy has been vital to their success, as proven by Maia Bouchier's 30 runs opening the batting order in the most recent encounter. Similarly impressive performances were delivered by Alice Capsey and Nat Sciver-Brunt, who each contributed 31 runs. While Danni Wyatt's batting has yet to take off in this series, she is a proven performer and has a good chance of scoring big in the next match.
Building upon her excellent performance in Northampton, Sophie Ecclestone is expected to be a key threat for the England Women's bowling attack once again. Sarah Glenn, who has already taken six wickets in the series, will surely be a force to be reckoned with for the Pakistan Women's batters in this encounter.

Two decisive losses in the first two matches of the series - by 53 and 65 runs, respectively - raise concerns about the Pakistan Women's Cricket team.
While Pakistan took six wickets in each match, their batting lineup has struggled, with only three players reaching double digits in both games. Sadaf Shamas, the team's leading scorer with 35 runs, will be eager to contribute more significantly following a scoreless performance in the second encounter. To prevent a clean sweep in the series finale, Pakistan Women will need a solid effort from Shamas and the likes of Muneeba Ali (231 runs in the last 10 matches at 23.1) and Sidra Ameen (222 runs in the last 8 matches at 27.5).
Sadia Iqbal (3 wickets at 17), known for her left-arm orthodox spin, has excelled as Pakistan's most consistent bowler, and might be effective in Leeds. Captain Nida Dar also carries momentum into this match, having dismissed key England batters Alice Capsey and Amy Jones in the previous encounters.

The pitch at Headingley in Leeds has typically favored batters. However, a small grass covering left by the groundsman might provide early help to fast bowlers, especially in the first innings. Historically, teams who bat first have had success at this venue. As the match progresses, the pitch tends to dry out, providing spin bowlers with more opportunities to exploit in the second innings.
The weather in Headingley will be a warm and sunny during the afternoon game.

The average first innings score at Headingley in domestic T20s is 181. However, this encounter is expected to be a well-contested battle between batting and bowling. Therefore, whichever team wins the toss is likely to look to set a competitive total of at least 140-150 runs.
This will be the first women's T20I game in Leeds. However, the majority of domestic T20 games played at the venue have been won by teams who bat first. So the team that wins the toss will most likely bat first in this game.
England Women have dominated the T20I series against Pakistan Women. Their outstanding performance has shown a significant difference in the skills between the two sides. To win this forthcoming encounter, Pakistan Women would need to improve their form significantly. Given England Women's aggressive approach and the home advantage, a win for the home team in Leeds is likely.
We are backing England Women to clinch the third match and take the series 3-0.
