In the 3rd and final One Day International (ODI) of the ongoing Tri-Series, the United States of America and Scotland will go up against each other at the ICC Academy Ground, Dubai. The game is scheduled for 2:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST) on the 14th of April, 2024.
Squads:
United States of America – Sindhu Sriharsha (C), Anika Kolan (VC), Aditiba Chudasama, Disha Dhingra, Gargi Bhogle, Geetika Kodali, Isani Vaghela, Jessica Willathgamuwa, Jivana Aras, Pooja Ganesh, Pooja Shah, Ritu Singh Immadi, Sai Tanmayi Eyyunni, Suhani Thadani

Players to watch out:
Anika Kolan
The 17-year-old keeper-batter, from 14 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is), has accumulated 217 runs, including the highest of 54*. Anika has been in notable form lately but has only managed starts, and on her ODI debut as well, departed for a solid 34. She’ll be backed to build on her start, registering a big score.
Ritu Singh Immadi
The 18-year-old all-rounder has picked up 11 wickets and added 79 runs to the tally from 12 T20Is, registering bests of 4/3 and 37. Though Ritu departed cheaply, scoring 9 runs on her ODI debut, she compensated with the ball, producing figures of 2/31 (9) and can be relied upon for an all-rounder effort.
Sarah Bryce
The 24-year-old keeper-batter, averaging 31.37 and striking at 110.88, has amassed 1047 runs from 48 T20I appearances. However, she has managed only 87 runs from 4 ODIs. Sarah, in her first game in this series, was dismissed for 20, and it will be hoped that the seasoned batter capitalizes on the start she has had.
Priyanaz Chatterji
The 30-year-old all-rounder in T20Is, from 33 innings, has chipped in scoring 294 runs and struck 25 wickets from 37 outings. In her 4 ODIs, Priyanaz hasn’t found much success, and in her first outing in this series as well, she departed for 4 and registered figures of 1/15 (3). Given her T20I success, she’ll be counted on for the goods.
Pitch:
With an average score in the 210s, the 22-yard strip at the ICC Academy Ground makes up a well-balanced pitch. However, bowlers certainly have the upper hand, and batters once they have spent sufficient time in the middle can look to shift gears.
Weather:
The temperature is expected to hover around 30°C, with light winds, sunny skies, and humidity at 43%. The forecasted conditions promise a complete day of action at the ICC Academy Ground, Dubai.
