Harmanpreet Kaur and co. have outclassed Sri Lanka Women in both games and take a 2-0 lead in the five-match T20I series. That has put India one win away from the series win. The third T20I is set to be held at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, on December 26 (Friday) at 7 PM IST. India have been very strong in both departments.
In both matches, the bowlers have set up the win for the hosts. Sri Lanka Women have even struggled to reach a score of 130 runs in their innings. That has been the issue with them. Hence, they need a strong performance because yet another defeat means the series defeat. India rested Deepti Sharma in the second game and added Sneh Rana. We might see a few more changes to the Indian squad going into the third game.

India Women vs Sri Lanka Women Today’s Match Prediction: India Women have been playing in a different league than Sri Lanka. The visitors don't have players who can go at a higher strike rate. That keeps them around a score of 120-130, which is not difficult in modern-day T20I. Then the Indian bowlers are bowling better with tight lines and conditions. That is why India Women are likely to win the third game on Friday.
