Sri Lanka Women went down by 34 runs in the first game of the three-match T20 series against India Women. The loss would have hurt the hosts as they had restricted Indians to a small total with disciplined bowling. However, their lack of confidence with the bat hurt the side as most of their batters failed to build partnerships and keep up with the scoring rate during the chase.
This was Sri Lanka Women’s eleventh consecutive loss against India, and it would hurt their confidence further. The side has been struggling with its form in this format for a while and needs to play positive cricket. A complete team effort would be needed from the hosts to level the series and we will wait and watch if the Sri Lankans can break out of this slump.
Chamari Athapaththu would expect a better show from her batters in this game. They lost wickets at regular intervals and didn’t show positive intent leading to their loss. The Sri Lankan skipper would like to see a spirited show from her players in this game. The Indians would come hard at them and Athapaththu would want her girls to meet that challenge and level the series.
Chamari Athapaththu and Vishmi Gunaratne will have to stand up to the challenge with the new ball as Indian bowlers would be confident after their performance in the last game. Kavisha Dilhari played well in the last game, but the side would need runs from Harshitha Madavi and Nilakshi de Silva in the middle order. Anushka Sanjeewani and Ama Kanchana will have to come up with important contributions down the order.
Udeshika Prabodhani and Sugandika Kumari did well with the new ball in the last game and they would like to prevent Indian batters from scoring quick runs. Oshadi Ranasinghe, Dilhari, and Kanchana leaked runs in the last game and better efforts would be needed from them in this game. Inoka Ranaweera would be confident after her good spell and has a very important role here.

It wasn’t the most confident show from the powerful Indian batting line-up, but skipper Harmanpreet Kaur would be happy to have taken an early lead in the series. Her bowlers did well in the last game, and this would make the skipper happy. She would like to see her batters build partnerships in this game and take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma need to provide a solid start to the side in this game. Sabbhineni Meghana missed out in the last game and the side would like to see her build partnerships with Kaur and Rodrigues in the middle order. Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma, and Pooja Vastrakar have proven their batting skills and the side would expect quick runs from them.
Renuka Singh was slightly expensive in the last game, and she would like to pick early wickets opening the bowling with Deepti Sharma. Radha Yadav and Vastrakar troubled the Lankan batters, and a good show would be expected from them. This bowling line-up has lots of depth with Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Kaur, and Verma on the team.

Dambulla would see clear skies on June 25. The wicket is slow, and this is likely to make life tough for the batters as they will have to play well against balls that stop on them. Spinners would like bowling on this surface and the side batting first in the game would be happy to have more than 140 runs on the board.
Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla is a tough wicket for the batters as the ball doesn’t come onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers don’t see any assistance from the surface, and they must rely on their skills alone. It has been a good hunting ground for the spinners in the past.
In the last game, we saw the wicket getting slower as the game progressed. Chasing a score would be a difficult task in this game as the ball isn’t coming onto the bat nicely. The side winning the toss would have little hesitation in opting to bat first.
Sri Lanka faces a tough challenge in this game after the lackluster batting show in the last game. The side is down on confidence, and their batters would have to take charge of the game to win it and level the series. India Women bowling attack impressed in the last game. They also have a strong batting line-up, and this would make them favorites to win this contest.
