IND-W vs SL-W, 3rd T20I Match Prediction: Who will win today’s match between Indian Women and Sri Lanka Women?

India Women enter the third T20I in Thiruvananthapuram with a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. After two ruthless performances in Visakhapatnam, the ‘Women in Blue’ are just one win away from lifting the series trophy. For Sri Lankait’s a do or die situation; they must find a way to dismantle a high-flying Indian side that has dominated every department so far.

India looked clinical. In the first T20I, Rodrogue anchored the pursuit, while the second saw an explosive Shafali Verma dismantle the Sri Lankan attack. The visitors struggled to post competitive totals, managing just 121 and 128 in the first two matches. Although they are off to a good start, they have suffered some spectacular collapses and they are hoping to get results from this approach.

Greenfield International Stadium Presentation Report

The surface at Greenfield International Stadium is generally suited to hitters with a fast outfield. However, being a coastal city, humidity will play a role and dew is expected to be a major factor in the second innings. The captain who wins the toss is likely to bowl first to take advantage of easier batting conditions under the lights and avoid dew while bowling.
