SL Women vs Ind Women 3rd ODI Match Prediction

Preview

SL Women vs Ind Women: The first ODI was challenging but the second was a cakewalk for India. The fast bowlers did well on turning tracks and the batters were clinical in the chase, to complete one of India’s most comprehensive victories. Sri Lanka continues to face a lot of concerning issues. The batters aren’t able to hang around long and the bowlers aren’t penetrative enough, making it tough for Sri Lanka to bring up match-winning performances.

Key Players

Smriti Mandhana

Smriti Mandhana continues to impress. She made a commanding 94 in the second ODI. With Mithali Raj retiring, Smriti Mandhana stepping up will be a massive sign for India. She is already one of India’s best batters, and with a lot of talent in her, she can go on to be a huge superstar in the country, if she continues batting the same way.

Chamari Athapaththu

Chamari Athapaththu gave Sri Lanka something to salvage in the third T20I. She single-handedly bought them a win and now with another series gone, Sri Lanka will hope she can do something to give them a reason to smile in the third ODI. With her talent, she is more than capable of doing so, but in a longer white-ball format, she will have a lot more work to do, if she is to replicate her efforts.

SL Women vs Ind Women Match Tips

India women are dominating. They are clearly ahead on the skill, however, with a dead rubber ahead, they may try some new players. Although, despite the use of some new players, India may continue to have an advantage. Looking at the talent in both teams, India is a touch ahead, and that will keep them ahead coming into the contest.
