The stage is set for the final showdown between India and Sri Lanka women’s cricket teams in the triangular series. The two teams will clash at the R. Premadasa Stadium on May 11.
India topped the league table with three wins out of four matches. Sri Lanka, the hosts, secured second place with two wins. The outcome of the league stage is now irrelevant; the team that performs better on Sunday will be crowned the champion.
Head-to-Head
The rivalry between the two teams is intense. India lost only one match in the league stage, and it was against Sri Lanka. Both teams have won one match against each other.
Match Details
The final match will start at 10 am local time.
Pitch Report
The R. Premadasa Stadium has hosted 20 women’s ODI matches. The team that chased has won nine times, while the team that batted first has won 11 times. The pitch is expected to favor batsmen, and a high-scoring match is likely.
- Batters will need to be cautious at the start.
- The middle order can accelerate the scoring.
- Spin bowlers are expected to get significant help from the pitch.
A score of 270-290 is considered competitive if India bats first. Defending a lower score may be challenging.
