Match Preview
India Women – Team Form
India Women have looked far superior in every department. In the 1st T20I, Jemimah Rodrigues played a match-winning knock, while Shafali Verma stole the show in the 2nd T20I with a blazing fifty at a strike rate of over 200.
With a strong batting lineup including Smriti Mandhana, Harmanpreet Kaur, and Richa Ghosh, India may look to bat first in this match to give their middle-order more time in the middle. Smriti Mandhana is yet to fire and could be due for a big innings.
Sri Lanka Women – Team Form
Sri Lanka Women have struggled badly with the bat. Their top order has failed to score at a good strike rate, putting pressure on the middle order. Captain Chamari Athapaththu and senior batters must step up if they want to stay competitive in this match.
