The contest between India Women and Sri Lanka Women marked the first fixture of the ongoing Tri-Nation series, with South Africa participating as the third team. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, the toss for the series opener has been delayed due to inclement weather conditions in Colombo. 

According to CREX, the groundsmen have kept the stadium under covers, with dark clouds threatening the possibility of a scheduled start.
