England Aim to Seal Series Sweep with Batting Display

England Aim to Seal Series Sweep with Batting Display

England captain Heather Knight has urged her team to "put on a show" with the bat in the third and final T20I against Pakistan at Headingley. The hosts have already secured the series after winning the first two matches, but Knight is keen for her side to maintain their momentum.

"We were back to our best in Northampton," said Knight, referring to England's 65-run victory in the second T20I. "That was a proper performance."

England have made one change to their team, bringing in the extra pace of Lauren Filer for Lauren Bell. Knight believes the pitch at Headingley may offer some assistance to the seamers, but she expects it to dry out quickly on a sunny afternoon.

Pakistan, meanwhile, have also made one change, adding opener Ayesha Zafar to their batting lineup in place of spinner Nashra Sandhu. Captain Nida Dar acknowledged that her team needs to improve their batting performance.

"We have been doing well in the fielding and bowling," said Dar. "We need to work on the batting side."
