India Women’s cricket team will take on Sri Lanka Women in the second T20I at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam today, December 23, with the aim of extending their series lead to 2-0. The first T20I saw Harmanpreet Kaur’s side dominate, chasing down a modest target of 122 with 5.2 overs to spare. Jemimah Rodrigues was the star of the match, smashing an unbeaten 69 off just 44 balls, while Deepti Sharma and debutant Vaishnavi Sharma impressed with the ball.
The Indian team will be looking to continue their strong form as they face Sri Lanka, who are hoping to bounce back after a disappointing first encounter. All eyes will be on the top-order duo of Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, both of whom have the ability to change the game within a few overs. India’s balanced combination of experienced campaigners and young talent will be crucial in keeping the momentum going.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will rely on their batting lineup to set a competitive total. In the ongoing match, at 11.5 overs, Hasini Perera is batting on 20 runs off 23 balls, while Harshitha Samarawickrama has contributed 21 off 21 balls. Amanjot Kaur has bowled 1.5 overs, conceding 11 runs so far without taking a wicket. The outcome of the toss, scheduled at 6:30 PM IST, may play a key role given the conditions at Visakhapatnam.
