India eye extension of winning streak in T20I series against wobbling Sri Lanka
India-W will be back to action for the fourth T20I after pocketing the series victory in the last game itself with a clinical win against the visitors. A returning Renuka Singh's masterclass left Sri Lanka gasping for breath while Shafali Verma dished out another impeccable match-winning performance with the bat.
The Women in Blue will be hopeful of keeping their winning streak alive with the 2026 T20 World Cup in sight. Amol Muzumdar might also eye for a handful of changes, planning to check out the bench strength, with the biennial extravaganza coming up next year.
The Indian bowlers continue to do a fine job, leaving Sri Lanka in a spot of bother. Their very best could only come up with resistance instead of full-blown attacks, thereby only managing to tot up respectable totals against the formidable Harmanpreet Kaur and company, which have been shot down without any fuss at all.
The visitors will be hoping to break free from the clutches as their captain, Chamari Athapaththu, a seasoned warrior still remains their best bet. However, mixing youth and experience, Sri Lanka might still be looking to contend with India's might, even though it looks a lot tougher for the visitors.
Venue Watch:
With black soil coming into play in Trivandrum, the bounce will be intact and dew might play a part later in the game. Batting second would be a lot easier with the surface exhibiting no traces of a slowdown.
