Preview:

India Emerging Women might have felt robbed having missed out full points against Bangladesh in the opening match of the Women’s Emerging Asia Cup. Both the matches on the first day of the tournament were washed out even without a toss. India Women are fresh of an unbeaten tour of Bangladesh where they won the 3-match One-Day series by 3-0 scoreline by registering big wins. They will now face the home team Sri Lanka in their second match. The likes of Harshitha Madavi and Hasini Perera will be marking centre stage for the home team.

Weather Condition/Report:

Once again, rain with scattered thunderstorms is expected throughout the game at the Colombo’s RPS. Only the ground staff could help in bringing a result out of this match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The weather plays a major role in the nature of the RPS-Colombo’s track. The recent matches have witnessed damp surfaces and the same could be seen on Thursday due to the rains in the past week.
