IND-W vs SL-W T20 World Cup 2024: Catch all the live action from Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai
India vs Sri Lanka Live Score, IND vs SL ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Match Today: Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (52) and her deputy Smriti Mandhana (50) rose to the occasion as India piled on 172/3 in their 20 overs in a must-win game against Sri Lanka on Wednesday at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Opener Shafali Verma also scored a handy 43 off 40 deliveries.
Earlier, Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bat first. A fit-again Harmanpreet walked out for the toss and got it right, opting to bat first in hopes of putting up a big total as India need to win and improve their Net Run Rate as well.
PLAYING XIs:
Sri Lanka: Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu(c), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani(w), Ama Kanchana, Sugandika Kumari, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera
India: Shafali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Richa Ghosh(w), Deepti Sharma, Sajeevan Sajana, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Thakur Singh
There will also be a chance for India to avenge their Asia Cup final this year. It was Sri Lanka that came out on top when these two rivals met in the final of the Women’s Asia Cup in July and Athapaththu’s team will be looking for a similar result again here to keep their slim chances alive of reaching the knockout stages.
Losses to Pakistan and Australia to start their campaign means Sri Lanka will need to win both their remaining matches at the tournament to have any chance of making the semi-finals, while India cannot afford too many errors following their heavy defeat against New Zealand.
India will have gained some confidence from their recent victory over Pakistan and will be keen to keep that winning run going ahead of a final group match against reigning champions Australia.
