Asian heavyweights India and Sri Lanka are set to resume their continental rivalry, albeit at the grand stage of the 2024 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. Both sides will go up against each other at the Dubai International Stadium on October 9 and the action will commence from 7:30 PM IST onwards.

Women’s T20 WC 2024, IND-W vs SL -W: Team Previews

India Women

After incurring a huge 58-run defeat to New Zealand, Team India bounced back in style with a six-wicket win against arch-rivals Pakistan. Harmanpreet Kaur and co. will be aiming to sustain their newfound winning momentum with another positive result against Sri Lanka in a bid to enhance their dismal NRR and climb higher on the Group A points table.

Openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma will hold key to India’s batting prospects, however, their form slump continues to remain an area of concern for the Indian team. If they misfire, Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues will once again be expected to rise to the occasion in India’s must-win game.

Sri Lanka Women

A couple of months ago, Sri Lanka stunned India in the 2024 Asia Cup final to lift the coveted trophy for the very first time. However, the current Sri Lankan team in UAE is all but mathematically eliminated from the tournament’s semifinals race. With huge defeats at the hands of Australia and Sri Lanka, Chamari Athapaththu and co. will be hoping to repeat their Asia Cup final heroics against the ‘Women in Blue’.

Among the batters, only Nilakshika Silva has managed to list over 50 runs this tournament for Sri Lanka, albeit at a dismal strike rate of 78.46. In order to remunerate for the struggling batting, bowlers Sugandika Kumari and Udeshika Prabodhani will once again be expected to deliver for their country.
