Read along to get live match coverage with updates, commentary, highlights, and analysis from BJ Sports.
Key Highlights of the Match
Competing on home turf, the Indian women’s team comes in as one of the frontrunners of the tournament. The team will rely on skipper Harmanpreet and the more seasoned players in Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma to impose themselves extremely from the first match onwards. With solid all-around balance between aggressive batters and cunning bowlers, India has an advantage over Sri Lanka.
While Sri Lanka is not the top team in this tournament, they have demonstrated in the past that they can create surprises. Led by Chamari Athapaththu, one of the most explosive openers in women’s cricket, SL-W will depend on her batting and leadership. If conditions favour their pace and spin bowling, they could cause a headache for India.

Match Preview and Expectations
India joins this tournament with a great deal of confidence, having been efficient in all recent series. Their batting line-up is formidable. Shafali Verma attacks at the top, Jemimah Rodrigues is designed to bat steadily in the middle, and the return of Richa Ghosh in the finishers’ role gives the lower order trouble. The spin department, led by Deepti Sharma and Rajeshwari Gayakwad, will be instrumental in shifting conditions.
Conversely, Sri Lanka may have hope beyond what is warranted. Athapaththu leads the charge, but Sri Lanka needs more depth contributions from Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari. Their bowling lacks the depth of India’s bowling base, but they can break partnerships and apply pressure through the middle overs. For Sri Lanka to go deep, they are going to have to be sharp in the fielding department, take their chances, and make the most of those little opportunities.
