India Women vs Sri Lanka Women Prediction - Sri Lanka Women tour of India 2025

India Women begin the series as favourites, supported by stronger overall numbers and the advantage of playing at home. Sri Lanka Women are competitive, but the balance still leans toward the hosts rather than a one-sided contest.

Team News & Match Context

India Women come into this home series looking to fine-tune combinations ahead of major upcoming tournaments. Their recent results have been mixed but generally solid in home conditions, where batting depth and control through the middle overs often make the difference. Key players are available, and the focus is likely to be on testing stability against spin.

Sri Lanka Women have shown flashes of quality, particularly in Asian conditions, but consistency remains their biggest challenge against top-tier opposition. Their reliance on a small group of senior batters means they need strong bowling support to stay competitive. Controlling the middle overs will be critical if they are to limit Indian momentum.

Venue Analysis

The Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium has generally offered balanced conditions in T20 cricket. In the limited sample of women's T20Is played here, chasing has shown a slight edge, with dew occasionally influencing the second innings. The toss may carry some weight, but conditions are unlikely to decide the match on their own.

First innings scores have typically landed in the 140 to 155 range, keeping both batting first and chasing firmly in play.
