SL-W vs IND-W 2nd ODI Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Sri Lanka Women and India Women?

India’s women’s team clinched the three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka and continued that momentum in the ODI series opener as they beat the hosts by four wickets on the back of Deepti Sharma’s all-round performance. India chased down Sri Lanka’s total of 171 runs with 12 overs to spare after a slight wobble in the middle overs.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be concerned with repetitive failures of their top-order batters against India. They failed to put a competitive target on the board for their bowlers and eventually paid the price for it. It is a must-win game for the hosts and they must take the field with a solid plan.

Pitch Report:

The surface at Pallakelle is conducive to spin bowling like most of the venues in Sri Lanka are, but there is enough for the fast bowlers as we saw in the first ODI. The skipper winning the toss will like to bat first just like in the previous game.

Probable playing XI

Sri Lanka

Hasini Perera, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Hansima Karunaratne, Kavisha Dilhari, Harshitha Madavi, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Oshadi Ranasinghe, Rashmi Silva, Inoka Ranaweera, Achini Kulasuriya

India

Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Yastika Bhatia (wk), Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma, Pooja Vastrakar, Renuka Singh, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Meghna Singh

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match

Harmanpreet Kaur

Harmanpreet Kaur has been in tremendous form lately and was the Player of the Series in the recently concluded T20I series. The Indian skipper was once again at the fore for her side with a match-winning effort in the first ODI. She was the top scorer in the match with 44 runs to her name.

Probable best bowler of the match: 

Inoka Ranaweera

The veteran Sri Lankan spinner has been one of the best players for the hosts in the series. Ranaweera is a threat on the Sri Lankan pitches and has been among the wickets against India. She was impressive with her line and length in the ODI series opener and scalped four Indian batters by conceding just 39 runs.
