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 have taken a 4-0 lead after comfortably winning the fourth game of the five-match home Women’s T20I series against Sri Lanka Women. In the fourth Women’s T20I on Sunday night (December 28), India Women created new history by recording their highest WT20I total.

After Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu sent the hosts to bat first, India Women scored 221/2 in 20 overs, their highest ever WT20I total. In reply, Sri Lanka Women scored 191/6 in 20 overs, as the hosts won the fourth game by 30 runs. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Women also recorded their highest-ever WT20I total. 

Indian openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma produced a strong start that set up India Women’s dream for their record total in Women’s T20I. Both the Indian openers scored half-centuries, as it was Shafali’s third consecutive half-century, and Smriti completed the fastest 10,000 Women’s International runs before reaching the 50-run mark.

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma set India Women's record partnership

Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma set up the 162-run partnership in 15.2 overs for the first wicket. It was the highest partnership runs for any wicket for India Women, while the previous record was 143 runs between the same partners for the first wicket against West Indies Women during the 2019 Gros Islet WT20I.

While Smriti scored 80 off 48 balls with 11 fours and three sixes, Shafali scored 79 off 46 balls with 12 fours and one six. Later, captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh had a 53-run partnership in just 23 balls for the unbroken third wicket. While Kaur scored 16 not out off 10 balls (one four and one six), Richa scored 40 not out off 16 balls with four fours and three sixes. 

India Women scored 221/2 in 20 overs. It was their highest total in the Women’s T20I format. Their previous record was 217/4 against the West Indies Women at DY Patil Stadium in 2024. 

Sri Lanka Women got strong start but failed to handle required run rate pressure

In reply, Sri Lanka had a strong start with two consecutive 50+ partnerships. However, they failed to handle the huge required run rate pressure, as the hosts comfortably won the fourth WT20I. 

Hasini Perera and captain Chamari Athapaththu had a 59-run partnership in 5.3 overs for the first wicket. While Hasini was out for 33 from 20 balls (seven fours), Chamari had another 57-run partnership with Imesha Dulani for the second wicket. Skipper Chamari scored 52 off 37 balls with three fours and three sixes, while Imesha scored 29 off 28 balls with three fours. 

Later, Harshitha Samarawickrama (20 off 13 balls), Kavisha Dilhari (13 off eight balls), and Nilakshika Silva (23 not out off 11 balls) had some cameos, but those weren’t enough to chase the huge total. 

Among the Indian bowlers, Arundhati Reddy (2/42) and Vaishnavi Sharma (2/24) got two wickets each, while Shree Charani (1/46) was the other wicket-taker.

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: 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.

Hosts India Women comfortably sealed the Women's T20I series against Sri Lanka Women by claiming another easy victory in the third game of the series, as the Women in Blues are leading this five-match series by 3-0 with two matches to go. 

Thiruvananthapuram hosted the third game of the series on Friday night (December 26), where India Women captain Harmanpreet Kaur chose to field first after winning the toss once again. While Sri Lanka Women were restricted to 112/7 in 20 overs, India Women chased down the target in 13.2 overs after losing two wickets. 

Renuka Singh and Deepti Sharma dominated with the ball

Indian pacer Renuka Singh and off-spinner Deepti Sharma dominated with the ball, while the other bowlers provided strong support, as the Lankan batters once again failed to make any impact. 

The Lankan double-digit scorers were opener Hasini Perera (25), Imesha Dulani (27), Kavisha Dilhari (20), and Kaushini Nuthyangana (19*).

Among the Indian bowlers, Renuka Singh had the bowling figures of 4-1-21-4, as she won the Player of the Match award, and Deepti Sharma finished with the bowling figures of 4-0-18-3. Deepti completed her 150 wickets in Women's T20I career and became the first bowler to record 150 wickets in both WODI and WT20I career. Soon, with another wicket, Deepti equalled Australian Megan Schutt's achievement of most WT20I wickets with 151 wickets in this format. 

Shafali Verma handled chase alone

In reply, although the opener Smriti Mandhana (1) and Jemimah Rodrigues (9) were dismissed cheaply, another opener Shafali Verma played a powerful innings, as the visitors had no answer to defend the little total. Shafali scored 79 not out off 42 balls with 11 fours and three sixes, while captain Harmanpreet Kaur scored 21 not out off 18 balls, as India Women comfortably won the match with their 48-run partnership for the unbroken third wicket. 

Among the Lankan bowlers, only the spinner Kavisha Dilhari got both the wickets, as she had the bowling figures of 3-0-18-2.

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: 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.

India Women have taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match home Women's T20I series against Sri Lanka Women after thrashing the visitors by seven wickets in the second game of the tournament. Indian bowlers completely controlled the Lankan innings, while the opener Shafali Verma played a powerful knock to make the chase very comfortable.

After India Women's captain Harmanpreet Kaur chose to field first in the second game at Visakhapatnam, they restricted Sri Lanka Women to 128/9 in 20 overs. In reply, India Women chased down the target in just 11.5 overs after losing three wickets, as the hosts won by seven wickets with 49 balls remaining. It was their second-fastest successful T20I chase for India Women against Sri Lanka Women.  

Indian bowlers controlled after Chamari Athapaththu's dismissal

In the Sri Lankan innings, only the skipper and opener Chamari Athapaththu managed to attack the Indian bowlers, as she scored 31 off 23 balls with three fours and two sixes before Sneh Rana dismissed her in the last over of the powerplay. Since the captain's dismissal, the visitors lost their plot in the innings.

Hasini Perera (22) and Harshitha Samarawickrama (33) were the only other batters in that innings to score 20+ runs, but they hardly managed to attack the Indian bowlers, as the boundaries were dried in the second half of the innings.  

Shree Charani (2/23) and Vaishnavi Sharma (2/27) picked up two wickets each, while Kranti Gaud (1/21) and Sneh Rana (1/11) got one wicket each. Rana impressed with her bowling figures of 4-1-11-1 with 16 dot balls. 

Shafali Verma played powerful knock of 69 not out off 34 balls

In reply, although Smriti Mandhana was dismissed after scoring 14 off 11 balls, Shafali Verma smashed 69 not out off 34 balls with the help of 11 fours and one six. While Verma won the Player of the Match award, the previous match's best player Jemimah Rodrigues scored 26 off 15 balls. Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur was dismissed for 10 runs, while Richa Ghosh scored 1 not out to secure the victory for the hosts.

The 20-year-old left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma finally got her first wicket in her international career during the second Women's T20I against Sri Lanka Women at Visakhapatnam on Tuesday night (December 23), which was her second Women's T20I. 

On her WT20I debut, Vaishnavi Sharma bowled brilliantly as she had the bowling figures of 4-0-16-0. While she deserved a wicket, it was denied due to Shree Charani failing to grab an opportunity.

Vaishnavi Sharma got her first international wicket in her second Women's T20I

In the second game, Vaishnavi had a rough start as she conceded three fours in the last three deliveries of her first over of the game. While she conceded 13 runs in her first over, she conceded a total of 32 runs in the match, as the young left-arm spinner brilliantly controlled the game.

In her third over of the match, Vaishnavi finally took her first wicket as Nilakshi de Silva was out for only two runs, while Shree Charani took the catch at short fine leg. 

Vaishnavi Sharma's last over in 2nd WT20I against Sri Lanka Women resulted in 3 wickets

Vaishnavi delivered the final over of the innings, where Sri Lanka Women lost three wickets for only seven runs. While the left-arm spinner dismissed Shashini Gimhani for a golden duck, as it was her second international wicket, the other two dismissals in that over were run outs. The youngster ended that match with the bowling figures of 4-0-32-2. Shree Charani was the other Indian bowler to pick up more than one wicket in the game, with the bowling figures of 4-0-23-2. 

While India Women won the first game by eight wickets, they won the second fixture by seven wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, with three matches yet to be played.
