After the exciting league clashes between Sri Lanka, India and South Africa, it is time for the final ODI for the Women's Tri Series hosted by Sri Lanka. The final clash is set to be played at Colombo on May 11 between India and Sri Lanka. The Final ODI is set to be played at the R Premadasa Stadium and will be live in action from 10 AM IST.
Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka Women have impressed with their fighting spirit in the tri-series, recording two crucial wins over both India and South Africa to secure a spot in the final. Their thrilling 3-wicket win over India showed their growing confidence, especially on home soil. With momentum on their side, Sri Lanka will look to continue their fine run and lift the title in front of their home fans.
India Women
India Women have shown solid form throughout the Tri-Series, winning three out of their five matches, including a commanding 9-wicket win over Sri Lanka and a high-scoring triumph against South Africa. With a strong batting line-up and consistent performances from the bowlers, India look well-prepared for the final.
Having witnessed 5 Tri-Series clashes here, the scales tip neither way, with both chasing and defending teams securing three victories apiece, suggesting a pitch offering consistent balance.
Interestingly, spinners might find their moment in the latter half, while pacers could exploit the early bounce. Given the Premadasa's reputation for run-fests, expect the final to likely breach the 250-run mark, promising a high-octane showdown.
