The ODI tri-series between Sri Lanka Women, India Women and South Africa Women is half past its mark India is currently leading the charts with 2 out of 3 wins and Sri Lanka ranks second with the same number of wins but with a poorer NRR. However, Sri Lanka languishes at the bottom with no wins and will take a shot at their chances in the upcoming clash on May 7 against India.

The 5th ODI is set to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo and will be live in action from 10 AM IST.

South Africa Women

South Africa Women have had a poor campaign so far in the tri-series, losing both of their opening matches but coming close in competitive chases. Their latest defeat against Sri Lanka saw them post a challenging 235/9, only to lose by five wickets. Despite a strong batting lineup, South Africa’s bowling has lacked the cutting edge in crunch moments and will try to step up now to have their last shot for the finals.

India Women

India Women will look to bounce back in the final league match of the W Tri-Series in Sri Lanka 2025 after a close three-wicket loss to Sri Lanka Women in their previous outing. Led by consistent performances from their top order and an in-form bowling unit, India will aim to finish the league stage on a high and take momentum into the final.

How Will The R. Premadasa Pitch Behave?

With 4 matches of the Tri-Series being played here, 3 games have been won by chasing teams which indicates a better wicket in the later half of the game. As Premadasa is known for its good batting conditions, the totals of 250+ refer to a high-scoring encounter and the pitch will also offer spin assistance in the second innings with good bounce in the first half. 

Players To Watch Out For In INDW vs SAW 5th ODI

India Women

Sneh Rana

Sneh Rana bagged a figure of 3/45 at an economy rate of 4.50 in her 10 overs. Being the wrecker-in-chief for India against Sri Lanka, and given her good form with the ball, Rana is expected to yield in the upcoming match too.

Richa Ghosh

Richa Ghosh was one of the bright spots for India in their last encounter against Sri Lanka with her 58 off 48 balls. She also showed her attacking intent with 5 boundaries and 3 sixes. Hence, if she stays in rhythm, she can prove to be lethal against South Africa again.

Pratika Rawal

Despite her heroics with the bat against Sri Lanka in the last encounter, Pratika also bagged a wicket with her bowling exploits. The opener comes down with a destructive intent and a few loose balls from the Proteas side in the beginning can get her going.

South Africa Women

Annerie Dercksen

Everyone knows about Annerie's unbeaten 44 off 23 balls against Pakistan that guided South Africa to a series-clinching victory. The batter packs punch and her recent 61 off 60 speaks the same. Hence, she can be a considerable threat against India.

Nonkululeko Mlaba

Mlaba's left-arm spin, characterized by accuracy and subtle variations, can be particularly effective against India's batting lineup, especially at Colombo. Her 2/44 exploits against Sri Lanka might make India plot against her gameplay.

Lara Goodall

Lara's ability to anchor the innings and build partnerships will be vital in setting up a competitive total or chasing down targets against India. With her solid technique, Goodall can provide stability to the batting lineup in high-pressure situations as she did against Sri Lanka with her 46-run stand.
