What happened in the first two T20Is of the series?
India have dominated proceedings so far. In the opening T20I, Jemimah Rodrigues anchored the chase with an unbeaten 69 off 44 balls as India hunted down 122 with ease. The bowlers, led by Deepti Sharma and debutant Vaishnavi Sharma, strangled Sri Lanka’s batting lineup.
The second T20I was even more emphatic. Spinners Sneh Rana and Shree Charani restricted Sri Lanka to 128 for 9 before Shafali Verma unleashed a brutal assault. Her unbeaten 69 off just 34 deliveries, featuring 11 fours and a six, powered India to victory inside 12 overs. These performances underline India’s depth and form heading into the third game.
Who are the players to watch in the 3rd T20I?
From India’s perspective, Shafali Verma remains the biggest crowd-puller, especially for live viewers tuning in early. Jemimah Rodrigues’ composure and Harmanpreet Kaur’s leadership add stability, while the spin duo of Sneh Rana and Deepti Sharma could be decisive on the Thiruvananthapuram pitch.
For Sri Lanka, captain Chamari Athapaththu holds the key. A strong start from her, supported by Vishmi Gunaratne and Harshitha Samarawickrama, is crucial if the visitors are to stay alive in the series.
