TEAMS PREVIEW
Sri Lanka Women Preview
Sri Lanka is hosting the tri-nation series between India-South Africa and Sri Lanka Womenβs cricket teams. Sri Lanka Women will face India Women in the fourth game of the series at Colombo on Sunday. Sri Lankan Women have played two games so far, winning one and losing one. With two points in two games, Sri Lankan Women are currently in second place in the points table.
In the history of cricket between India and Sri Lanka Womenβs cricket teams, Sri Lanka Women have managed to win just two games out of 33, with one no result.Β Clearly, the odds are against Sri Lanka Women. This stark difference in quality was evident in the opening game of the series, where Sri Lanka Women lost in a rain-shortened game by 9 wickets with about 10 overs still to go.Β The opening game was shortened to 39 overs, where Sri Lankan Women batted first and were all out for just 147 runs in the 39th over.Β Opener Hassini Parera was the top scorer with 30 runs, followed by Kavisha Dilhari, who scored 25 runs. There were no other meaningful contributions.Β It proved to be an easy chase for India Women as they got over the line with 9 wickets to spare.Β
SL Women bounced back strongly in their second game against South Africa Women. Sri Lanka Women bowled first, restricting South Africa Women to 235 for 9 in 50 overs. Malki Madara was the peak of the bowlers, taking 4 wickets for 50 runs, followed by Dewmi Vihanga, who took 3 wickets for 41 runs.Β SL Women chased this down comfortably with 5 wickets and about 4 overs still to go. Harshitha Samarawickrama was the top scorer, scoring 77 runs, followed by Kavishi Dilhari, who scored 61 runs.Β These two built a partnership of 128 runs to help Sri Lankan Women get over the line and register their first victory of this series. Itβs a crucial game for SL Women as they would not want to lose by a huge margin again, which will hurt their net run rate even more.
India Women Preview
India Women have carried on with their good form in ODI cricket.Β They have now won 8 ODIs in a row, including 2 wins in this series. With 2 wins in 2 games, India Women are currently at the top of the table with 4 points and a net run rate of +0.750.Β India Women have beaten Sri Lanka Women and South Africa Women once each in this series so far.
The win in the first game against Sri Lanka Women was as comprehensive as it gets. Restricting Sri Lanka Women in a 39-over game to just 147, and then getting over the line with 9 wickets in hand seemed like a cake walk for India Women.Β Player of the match Pratika Rawal scored unbeaten half century (50 off 62 balls).Β Smriti Madhana and Harleen Deol scored valuable 40s.
While India Women defeated Sri Lanka Women easily, the game against South Africa Women was not that easy.Β Batting first, India Women scored 276 for 6. Yet again, Pratika Rawal was the top scorer with 78 runs.Β The rest of the batting made valuable contributions, especially Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodriguez. Both of them scored 41 runs. In defense, South Africa Women started well with an opening partnership of 140 runs. Opener Tazmin Brits went on to score a century. However, once the opening partnership was broken, India Women took wickets at regular intervals to restrict South Africa Women 15 runs short of the target. Sneh Rana took 5 wickets for 43 runs and was adjudged player of the match.
Sneh Rana is the top wicket taker of series with 8 wickets whereas Pratika Rawal has been the top run scorer with 128 runs in the series so far. India Women have a balanced unit. This should be yet another cakewalk for them against the hosts Sri Lanka Women.
