India Women will face Sri Lanka Women in the fifth and final T20I of the series at the Greenfield International Stadium on Tuesday, December 30. The match will start at 7:00 PM IST.

India Women have already sealed the series after taking a commanding 4–0 lead.
In the fourth T20I, the home side put up another dominating display, scoring 221/2 while batting first. Although the Sri Lanka Women showed some grit while chasing, they went on to lose by 30 runs. Vaishnavi Sharma impressed with the ball and picked up two crucial wickets. The team has been in top form throughout the series and will now aim for a clean sweep.

Sri Lanka Women, meanwhile, will be disappointed with how the series has gone. They have struggled with both bat and ball and have failed to close out matches whether batting first or chasing. However, captain Chamari Athapaththu’s half-century in the last game was a positive sign. With nothing to lose, Sri Lanka will look to finish the tour with a win.

IND-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report

The pitch at Greenfield Stadium has been dry and slow in the first innings, making stroke play difficult early on. However, dew later in the evening helps batters during the chase, allowing the ball to come nicely onto the bat. Teams winning the toss are likely to bowl first.

India Women (IND-W) will once again face Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) in the fourth T20I of the series at the Greenfield International Stadium on Sunday, December 28. India has already sealed the series and will now aim to continue their winning run.

India Women have been clearly the better side throughout the series. Under the leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, the team has chased targets comfortably in all three matches so far. Their batting has looked serene and confident, while the bowlers have managed to keep Sri Lanka under pressure. India now looks for a fourth successive victory to dominate the series even more.

Sri Lanka Women, led by Chamari Athapaththu, have not been able to find their flow in the series. The team has seen them lack confidence as well as consistencies in both their batting and bowling. Although they have flashes of potential, poor implementation and poor plans have let them down in the series. With two remaining matches, Sri Lanka would look to get back to winning ways to end the series on a positive note.

IND-W vs SL-W Head-to-Head Record (T20Is)

  • Total Matches Played: 29
  • India Women Won: 23
  • Sri Lanka Women Won: 5
  • Tied / No Result: 1

IND-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report

The pitch at Greenfield Stadium in the last encounter was slow and dried up, making scoring challenging in the first innings. However, once dew settled in, batting became much easier, and the outfield helped the batters find boundaries. Because of this, the team winning the toss is likely to bowl first again.

India Women (IND-W) will take on Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) in the third T20I of the series on Friday, December 26, at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. After the first two matches in Vizag, the series now moves to Kerala for the remaining games.

The Indian women have been quite dominant in the series so far. They have won both the matches quite comfortably and are now leading the five-match series by 2-0. The Indian batters, especially Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma, have done a fabulous job, while their bowlers have kept the Sri Lankan batters on their toes. Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian captain, would be expecting another good show from her team to wrap up the series quickly.

Sri Lanka Women, on the other hand, have not been able to find any sort of rhythm. They looked somewhat promising in their second match as they made a decent beginning, but the Indian bowlers quickly took control and held them below par in total. With Chamari Athapaththu leading them, they would certainly require a better show in batting to remain in contention in this series.

IND-W vs SL-W: Head-to-Head Record (T20Is)

  • Matches Played: 28
  • India Women Won: 22
  • Sri Lanka Women Won: 5
  • No Result / Tied: 1

IND-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report

This will be the first women's T20I at this venue. In men's T20 games played at this ground, the teams chasing have done well generally. The pitch offers true bounce, and batting becomes easier under the lights. The dew factor is expected to come into play as well, which might make the task of the bowlers tough in the second innings. Therefore, the team that wins the toss is likely to opt for bowling first.

The first T20I between India Women (IND-W) and Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) will be played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, on Sunday, December 21. This match will mark the start of a five-match T20I series.

India Women will return to action for the first time after winning the Women’s ODI World Cup at home in November. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the team is full of confidence. Earlier this year, India toured England and won the T20I series 3–2, showing strong form in the shortest format. They will want to get the series started with a strong victory."

Sri Lanka Women, on the other hand, would be looking to improve on their disappointing performance at the ODI World Cup. They finished fifth, with only one win, while several matches were affected by rain. Much of Sri Lanka’s hopes will depend on Chamari Athapaththu, who has often performed well against India and will lead the team from the front.

IND-W vs SL-W: Head-to-Head Record (T20Is)

  • Matches Played: 26
  • India Women Won: 20
  • Sri Lanka Women Won: 5
  • No Result / Tied: 1

IND-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report

The wicket in Visakhapatnam is anticipated to provide an equal battle between the bat and ball. Dew is expected to make a vast contribution, mostly in the second innings. The new-ball bowlers may get some movement initially. Because of the presence of dew, the team that wins the toss may decide to bowl.

Sydney Thunder Women and Sydney Sixers Women are set to play the 11th T20 match in WBBL 2025-26 at Drummoyne Oval on Saturday. The Sydney Thunder side has lost back-to-back matches in contrasting fashion. While they bowled poorly in their opening game, the batters let them down in a 4-wicket loss against the Melbourne Renegades Women in the last game.

On the other hand, the Sydney Sixers Women's team lost to the Hobart Hurricanes Women's team in the last game by 6 wickets. This loss would have come as a surprise to their fans after their 10-wicket win in the series opener. Gardner hopes the middle order performs better after the team struggled with the bat in the last game.

<![CDATA[Top 3 reasons why Bangladesh-W lost to Sri Lanka-W in the Women's World Cup 2025 match 21]]> https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/top-3-reasons-why-bangladesh-w-lost-to-sri-lanka-w-in-the-women-s-world-cup-2025-match-21/ https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/top-3-reasons-why-bangladesh-w-lost-to-sri-lanka-w-in-the-women-s-world-cup-2025-match-21/ Mon, 20 Oct 2025 23:19:40 GMT

Sri Lanka Women won their maiden match of the 2025 ICC Women's World Cup with a seven-run victory over Bangladesh Women during Match 21 at the DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai. Full of drama, the match saw captain Chamari Athapaththu take charge from the front with both her bat and ball, steering her team to the narrow victory. The game became a nail-biting finish as Bangladesh, though dominant for the better part of the chase, spectacularly collapsed in the last overs.

Electing to bat first, Sri Lanka lost opener Vishmi Gunaratne on the very first ball to Marufa Akter, putting pressure on their innings early on. Chamari Athapaththu (46 from 43) and Hasini Perera (85), however, rescued the innings with a 72-run partnership, which was pivotal in placing the innings in good stead. Together, they provided a strong platform to Sri Lanka, but once they were dismissed, the middle order was unable to keep the momentum going. The team, which had been cruising at 155-4, were bowled out for 202 off 48.4 overs eventually. Shorna Akter was the star for Bangladesh with 3-27, while Rabeya Khan and Marufa Akter got important wickets.

In reply, Bangladesh's chase began on a poor note as they stumbled to 44-3 in 16 overs. But skipper Nigar Sultana Joty (77 off 98) and Sharmin Akhter (53) stemmed the flow and pulled the innings back with patience and discipline. Their stand placed Bangladesh in a commanding position at 176-3 with only 27 runs from the last 30 balls required for victory. But Sri Lanka's bowlers, led by Chamari Athapaththu, again flip the match dramatically towards the end to record a thrilling victory. Below are the top reasons for the Bangladesh Women defeat:

1. Collapse of Batting in the End

Bangladesh was sailing toward victory before collapsing to five wickets in eight balls. They went from 176-3 to 195-9, unable to cope with increasing pressure. The batters lost focus in the final moments of the inning which allowed Sri Lanka to reinforce their position in the game. The collapse was ultimately the biggest reason Bangladesh lost in a heartbreaking defeat.

2. Poor Start to the Top Order

Bangladesh's top order struggled to create momentum at the start of the innings, with Rubya Haider going for a duck and Sobhana Mostary just adding eight runs. After 24 runs during the Powerplay, Bangladesh were quickly put on the back foot. With a lack of early partnerships, there was a lot of work for the middle order to do.

3. Nigar Sultana's Injury Issues

Captain Nigar Sultana Joty's hamstring pull was a huge setback for Bangladesh. While she could manage only a gritty knock of 77, her restricted movement spoiled her run and shot choice towards the last overs. Her wicket was at a timing when Sri Lanka could capitalize on it, and once she was dismissed, Bangladesh's chase lost direction, handing Sri Lanka a deserving win.

Co-hosts Sri Lanka Women snatched their first win the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 after defeating Bangladesh Women in the final over drama, as the Lankans can still fight for the only remaining Semi-finals spot of the tournament, while Bangladesh Women's last-four qualification hope ended.

While Sri Lanka Women and Bangladesh Women faced each other at Navi Mumbai on Monday (October 20), Sri Lanka Women chose to bat first after winning the toss. Sri Lanka Women scored 202 all out in 48.4 overs, while they were once batting at 174/4 in the 32nd over, and they restricted Bangladesh Women for 195/9 in 50 overs, as Sri Lanka Women won by seven runs.
