Team India carried on the form from the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 and continued it in the first game of the five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka Women. They won the first game by a big margin of 8 wickets and 5.2 overs left to play. After damage was done by the bowlers, Jemimah Rodrigues made sure that India crossed the line without any tension.
She played a match-winning knock of 69 off 44 and won the Player of the Match award. With a 1-0 lead, India Women will take on Sri Lanka Women on December 23 (Tuesday) at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, with a scheduled start of 7 PM IST. Sri Lanka looked under pressure with the bat, and in panic, they had three unnecessary run-outs. That broke their momentum every time they were looking good. Can they show more temperament and challenge this Indian side?

IND-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report
The wicket at ADC-VDCA Stadium is considered a good batting track. There are enough runs in it for the batters. Early on, the ball will do a bit because of humidity, and there will be swing. However, the wicket will settle as the game goes forward, which will make the stroke-making easy for the batting sides.

IND-W vs SL-W: Probable Best Bowler
Sri Lanka Women: Inoka Ranaweera is someone who had success on Indian pitches in the Women's ODI World Cup 2025 as well. She was Sri Lanka's successful bowler in the first game as well.

India Women vs Sri Lanka Women Today’s Match Prediction: There is no comparison between these two teams at the moment. India Women are one level above Sri Lanka. If India lose by any chance, it will be considered an upset. Because Sri Lanka have not played much against the top-tier sides, and India Women are certainly one of them.
Especially at home, India have challenged every team. If we talk about the two squads, Sri Lanka are a little weaker with the bat in hand. They need their batters to fire, which looks difficult against the quality Indian bowling unit. Hence, we believe that India Women will win this game.
