India vs Sri Lanka 3rd T20I Preview
India Women have stamped their authority on the series so far, producing commanding performances in both matches to surge to a 2-0 advantage in the five-game contest. The hosts have consistently kept Sri Lanka under pressure, with strong batting contributions laying the foundation for their success. With Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma already delivering, attention now turns to who will rise next for Harmanpreet Kaur's side in the upcoming clash.
Sri Lanka Women, meanwhile, have struggled to find rhythm and consistency. Although Chamari Athapaththu's team showed promise early in the second match with a confident start, they failed to build on it. India's incisive bowling turned the game on its head, restricting Sri Lanka to a total well below expectations. The third match now becomes crucial for the visitors, offering a final chance to stay alive in the series.
