This Tri-Nation Series in Sri Lanka has been very interesting for supporters of the three teams involved as well as for cricket followers across the globe!
India Women were always going to be the favourites in Colombo but many expected South Africa Women to be able to deal with the conditions better than has been proven so far.
As it stands, ahead of Wednesday's game, India Women top the table, but only on net-run-rate from the hosts Sri Lanka Women, with both teams winning two of their three matches with one defeat.
South Africa Women have lost by 15 runs to India Women followed by a five wicket loss against Sri Lanka Women on Friday but this will be fascinating to see how India Women react after their surprise loss to Sri Lanka Womenby three wickets on Sunday.

Although India Women lost nine wickets against Sri Lanka Women when batting first on Sunday, most observers still thought that 275 runs would be enough to make it three victories from three in this Tri-Nation Series.
However, it proved not to be sufficient and as a result we expect to see a big reaction from India Women in this game against South Africa Women who have so far not been up to the required level in Colombo.
Runs from the top five will be crucial to get India Women back on the winning trail and they could do with some better returns from the top five after they were all dismissed between 18 and 37 on Sunday.
Sneh Rana enjoyed the bowling conditions, taking 3/45 against Sri Lanka Women and we expect her to be keyonce more, as will be opening bowler Kashvee Gautam who conceded only 23 runs from her five overs.

South Africa Women also found themselves falling to defeat after batting first in their last game of this Tri-Nation Series. There were encouraging knocks from Lara Goodall (46) at number three and Annerie Derckson (61 not out) at number seven but just like their opponents in this game the Proteas will be looking for more from their top order in this game.
Skipper Laura Wolvaardt has made scores of 43 and 10 so far in this Tri-Nation Series and is key to the team's chances particularly as she sets the tone for the batting line-up at the top of the order.
With the ball, it was Nonkululeko Mlaba who led the way with the ball in the last game, taking 2/44 and she should cause the India Women batters problems on this Colombo pitch once again.
Nadine de Klerk has also impressed and conceded her runs at less than 3.76 runs per over in the last fixture.

Players, officials and supporters should be braced for a humid day in Colombo where there will be plenty of cloud cover and a chance of rain throughout the game. The temperature will be up in the high twenties and low thirties throughout.

This is an intriguing surface in Colombo where the ball does keep low but turns plenty for the spinners! The bounce is consistent though and we expect a par score of around 280-290 in the first innings.
After both sides were defeated in their last game when trying to defend a total, we predict that the skippers will both want to field first and chase in this game on Wednesday.
Although they were beaten in their last game, we expect India Women to respond positively with both bat and ball in this match. South Africa Women have struggled with the conditions and need to improve massively to get back into the tournament!
