India Women (IND-W) will take on Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) in the 2nd T20I at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, on Tuesday, December 23. Since this match is at the same venue as the first T20I, both teams now have a clear idea about the pitch and conditions.
India Women started the series in strong fashion as they won the opening match of the series by eight wickets. Under Harmanpreet Kaur, the team seemed confident with bat and ball. Jemimah Rodrigues played a match-winning knock with an unbeaten half-century as India chased the target quite comfortably. The hosts will look to continue their winning run and take a 2-0 lead in the series.
Sri Lanka Women had a disappointing start to the series. They struggled to score freely and managed only 121 runs in the first match. Despite losing just six wickets, the batting lacked intent. Chamari Athapaththu’s side will need a much better performance if they want to bounce back and stay alive in the series.

IND-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report
The pitch here looked good for chasing in the first T20I. Dew is expected again, which can make bowling harder in the second innings. Spinners may get some help early, but the surface slows down as the game progresses. The team winning the toss is likely to choose to bowl first.
