Women's T20 WC 2024: Match 12, IND-W vs SL-W Match Prediction

Asian Subcontinent giants India Women (IND-W) and Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) lock horns in match 12 of the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup 2024, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, in Dubai on Wednesday, October 9.

India suffered a deflating 58-run defeat against New Zealand in their opening encounter of the tournament. However, they managed to pull themselves back up and registered a six-wicket win against Pakistan as they chased down a 106-run target in 18.5 overs. India can ill-afford a slip-up against Sri Lanka as they are walking on a tightrope like a trapezist.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka are languishing at the bottom of Group A after suffering crushing defeats to Pakistan by 31 runs and Australia by six wickets. They would want to get off the mark with a win against their neighbours. Sri Lanka will take confidence from their win against India in the Women's Asia Cup final earlier this year. While qualification seems difficult at this point, Chamari Athapaththu and Co. would want to give a good account of themselves in the marquee event.

Pitch Report

In the first four matches played so far at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the Women's T20 World Cup, the average first innings score has been around 121. Three out of these four games have been won by chasing teams. However, batting first could be the better option at this venue as chasing teams can be put under a lot of pressure with some disciplined bowling and tight fielding.

Batting doesn't get easier as the match progresses and this can help teams to defend scores. However, getting scores of over 130 should be the first target. Teams have fallen way short of the par scores because they have targeted huge totals while batting first.

Probable Top Performers from IND-W vs SL-W

Probable Best Batter: Smriti Mandhana

Star India women’s batter Smriti Mandhana has not had a great start to the tournament as she was dismissed for 12 and 7 in the first two games. However, she is too good a batter to stay quiet for a long time. The southpaw will have an important role to play at the top of the order as her opening partnership with Shafali Verma is crucial for India.

Probable Best Bowler: Shreyanka Patil

Shreyanka Patil is one of the most talented young cricketers in India at the moment and her strong temperament has been on show in this tournament as well. The off-spinner conceded 25 runs in three overs and didn't pick up a wicket against New Zealand. However, she bounced back in style against Pakistan and finished with excellent figures of 2/12 in four overs, including one maiden. Patil will want to continue from where she left and help India dominate the middle overs.
