India W vs Sri Lanka W Match Preview, 1st T20I: On 21st December, the India Women (IND-W) vs Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) T20I series is all set to begin at the Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, India. After the World Cup, the two teams are going to face off against each other for the first time.
India enters the series with high confidence after winning the ODI World Cup and will now shift their focus to the shortest format. In the ranking of the T20, India is in 3rd position, and Sri Lanka stands at 7th position.
In the last 5 recent T20I matches, India Women faced England Women and won three of the five matches, successfully clinching the series. But on the other side, the Sri Lanka team struggled for form. They played the last series against the New Zealand women, and they lost that by 2-1. They will be keen to bounce back in this contest.
In the last 10 head-to-head matches in T20I, India is leading with a huge margin of 8-2. Sri Lanka needs to step up and win the game to maintain the scoreboard of head-to-head.
