Preview

SL Women vs Ind Women: On a slow track in the first game, both sides are doing well to apply the choke on each other. The spinners are in the game this series with runs tough to come by in the middle-overs. The second T20I is going to be just as challenging. India however, has shown that runs arent too tough to come by if the players bat with the right tempo. A couple of Indian batters did get starts and that is allowing the team to get enough to defend on a slow track.

Key Players

Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana didn’t impress in the first T20I. She is a talented batter, known for her aggression and consistency at the top. With the team battling slow pitches and bowlers, a good start from her will be important for India to grab momentum early in the game.

Inoka Ranaweera

Inoka Ranaweera was pretty effective in the first T20I. She is among the wickets but also a touch expensive at times. With control an issue, she has an aspect that can be improved to find a lot of success. If Ranaweera manages to find control in the second game she will be a huge weapon for Sri Lanka.

SL Women vs Ind Women Match Tips

Ind Women are full of talent and pretty decent when it comes to tackling spin bowling. With SL still struggling to find themselves, India are in with as strong advantage.

Match Prediction: India Women will win the match.
