SL-W vs IND-W Team Previews

Sri Lanka Women

Returning to the ODI World Cup after missing the 2022 edition, Sri Lanka host this tri-series with both excitement and urgency. They've suffered back-to-back series defeats to Ireland and New Zealand and have no matches lined up post-tri-series before the World Cup.

Led by Chamari Athapaththu, Sri Lanka’s squad features four uncapped players and the return of veteran spinner Inoka Ranaweera, 39. The spin-heavy attack also includes Dilhari, Priyadharshani, and Kumari, while the seam attack is thin.

The batting order revolves around Athapaththu, though Harshita Samarawickrama and Vishmi Gunaratne have recently shown promising signs with centuries. The challenge for Sri Lanka will be to build a more balanced team effort, reducing reliance on their skipper.

With limited time to fine-tune, this tri-series is crucial for identifying the right combinations and gaining confidence ahead of the World Cup.

India Women

With the ODI World Cup just five months away, India begin their campaign for silverware in Sri Lanka as tournament favorites. Despite missing the semi-finals of the last T20 World Cup, they arrive in solid form, riding a six-match ODI winning streak.

The return of captain Harmanpreet Kaur boosts morale, and the batting unit remains stacked with stars like Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Richa Ghosh. However, the bowling unit faces a test with key pacers Renuka Singh, Pooja Vastrakar, and Titas Sadhu out injured.

This opens the door for emerging names like Arundhati Reddy and uncapped left-armers N Shree Charani and Shuchi Upadhyay. The spotlight will also be on 22-year-old Kashvee Gautam, India’s most exciting pace prospect, making her much-anticipated debut.

While India’s batting is seasoned and stable, this tri-series offers a vital opportunity to assess new bowling combinations under pressure.

SL-W vs IND-W Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is likely to want to bat first and get a score on the board. That is generally what teams prefer doing in the ODI format when it comes to the Women's ODI's.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The opening match of the Women's ODI Tri-Series between India and Sri Lanka on April 27, 2025, at Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium is expected to feature a pitch that offers a balanced contest between bat and ball.​

Historically, the surface at R. Premadasa Stadium has been conducive to batting in the early stages of an innings, providing predictable bounce that allows batters to play their shots comfortably. However, as the match progresses, the pitch tends to assist spinners, offering sharp turn and unpredictable bounce, especially in the latter stages of the game.

Teams batting first have often found success here, with 88 out of 164 ODIs won by the side setting a target. The average first innings score hovers around 231, indicating that a total in the range of 240–260 could be competitive. ​

Weather conditions on match day are expected to be cloudy with a chance of thunderstorms in the morning, which could influence team strategies and the decision at the toss.

SL-W vs IND-W: Who Will Win?

India Women will be overwhelming favorites as we enter this series. They have an outstanding record against Sri Lanka Women. They also have more depth in their batting, a bigger talent pool to choose from, and are less dependent on the performances of just one or two players. That is not to say Sri Lanka Women have no chance of winning but we will not recommending you bet on them.

SL-W vs IND-W win percentage stands at 63% in favor of IND-W.
