India women's team captain Mithali Raj is set to play the side's third ODI against England on Sunday, the BCCI said in a tweet. Mithali scored her 2nd consecutive fifty in the 2nd ODI against England, helping her team to post a total of 221. But she did not come out on the field after India's innings came to end, due to neck pain.
Vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur led the Indian team as India women's team came out to the 222-run total in the 2nd ODI, with Radha Yadav as the substitute fielder in place of Mithali.
