TEAMS PREVIEW
India Women Preview
The reigning World Champions are back in action. Fresh off a successful home World Cup and with players bagging huge WPL contracts, they are looking for one last hurrah before the big tour of Australia in February and a three-match T20I series against host nation England. In total, India have just 11 T20I matches to find the right team combinations as they look to win the T20 World Cup title.
With Harmanpreet Kaur in charge and Smriti Mandhana as her deputy, India are fielding almost the same side that played the ODI World Cup. Shafali Verma is back in the squad, while G Kamilini and Vaishnavi Sharma have earned national call-ups after their phenomenal performances in the Women's Senior T20 Challenge.
India have played only a handful of games this year; to be precise, they have played five T20Is, winning three and losing two. As the players' roles in the lineup are already well-defined, India will look to tinker just a bit and try out some new combinations.
Smriti Mandhana who has had a good world cup is the player in focus against a side where she has scored 429 runs in 21 matches, averaging 23.82. Deepti Sharma will be key with bot & ball, while Shafali Verma is also expected to don the role of an all-rounder.
India Women Predicted Playing XI:
Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Harleen Deol, Sree Charani, Kranti Gaud, Renuka Singh Thakur, Richa Ghosh (WK).

Sri Lanka Women Preview
Sri Lanka Women were unfortunate throughout the World Cup, as most of their matches were washed out or interrupted by rain. Because of this, they couldn't build any momentum during the entire tournament and consequently bowed out in the league stages.
As they return to face India in the lead-up to the T20 World Cup, this is the only series they have to prepare and test their squad for the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. Chamari Athapaththu will lead the side in what is likely the final phase of her career.
Hasini Perera, Vishmi Gunaratne, and Harshitha Samarawickrama form the top order. All three batters have been instrumental in Sri Lanka's success this year—a year in which they played only three matches, winning one and losing one. On a good batting track at Vizag, they will look to make the most of the conditions and dominate against the Indian spinners.
In the bowling department, they have a spin-heavy lineup with four to five spin options and a couple of pace options to tinker with. Pacers are expected to be least effective at Vizag, so the Lankan Women are likely to go with a four-spin, one-pace combination.
Sri Lanka Women Predicted Playing XI:
Chamari Athapaththu (capt), Hasini Perera, Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Nilakshika De Silva, Kavisha Dilhari. Inoka Ranaweera, Shashini Gimhani, Nimesha Madushani, Rashmika Sewwandi, Malki Madara
Sri Lanka Women Actual Playing XI:
Vishmi Gunaratne, Hasini Perera, Harshitha Madavi, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Malki Madara , Inoka Ranaweera, Chamari Atapattu, Kawya Kavindi, Shashini Gimhani, Kaushani Nuthyangana
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Vizag is expected to experience mostly sunny conditions on Sunday, with temperatures around 27°C. Humidity levels will remain moderate at 54%, minimal precipitation risk, and light winds near 13 km/h—ideal conditions for outdoor activities and uninterrupted play.
IND-W vs SLW Pitch Report
The pitch at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium is a batting-friendly track where runs are on offer in plenty. As it is an evening game with a 7:00 PM start time, dew is expected during both innings, so a high-scoring game is on the cards. While pacers might get some swing early on, spinners might struggle to grip the ball, especially after the first innings. Consequently, a score of around 170 could be a safe score to defend.
Toss: To Bowl
The toss is going to play a huge role in matches played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam. Teams bowling first often get an advantage in the later stages of the game; therefore, we predict that the team winning the toss will opt to bowl first.
IND-W vs SLW
Winning Prediction
India Women enter this contest as the favourites to win, though they haven't had the best of times while playing at Vizag, they will look to kickstart the series on a high and the form they are in it should be an easy dominant win for the home side.
