The Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will see India Women (IND-W) take on Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) in a crucial 12th match on October 9, 2024, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Both teams aim to solidify their positions in Group A with this encounter.

India recovered from an opening loss to New Zealand by securing a six-wicket win over Pakistan. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, is struggling after two significant defeats to Pakistan and Australia.

Match Preview

India Women come into this match with a balanced team. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership and the consistency of Smriti Mandhana make them favourites. The team has a solid track record, especially in high-pressure matches.

In contrast, Sri Lankan women will be looking for a major upset. Captain Chamari Athapaththu is key to their batting lineup, but they’ll need bowlers like Inoka Ranaweera to deliver early wickets to put India under pressure.

Team India

India’s bounce-back victory against Pakistan showcased their strength. Arundhati Reddy’s brilliant 3-wicket haul and crucial contributions from Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues helped them gain their first points in the tournament.

There’s a slight concern over Harmanpreet Kaur, who suffered a neck injury in the previous game. If unfit, Smriti Mandhana might take over the captaincy.

Team Sri Lanka

Asian champions Sri Lanka are badly in need of a win after suffering huge setbacks against Pakistan and Australia. They are yet to register a win in this tournament. Batting failures have hampered their progress, and they’ll need a much-improved performance to stay in the tournament.

Pitch & Weather Report

The Dubai pitch is typically slow, favoring spinners, with an average first-inning score of 138 in T20 matches. India may prefer to bat first to post a competitive total and improve their net run rate. Weather conditions are expected to be clear, with no dew anticipated, making it a fair contest for both innings.

In 3 of the last 4 matches, the team batting second has won, but India has to improve its net run rate. In such a situation, batting first would be the right strategy for India, so that they can score big and gain control over the match.
