India Women Aim for Series Sweep Against Sri Lanka in Fourth T20

Thiruvananthapuram: The Indian women’s cricket team is set to face Sri Lanka in the fourth T20I of their five-match series today at 7 PM, with the aim of completing a series whitewash. Having already secured the series with three consecutive wins, Harmanpreet Kaur’s side will look to continue their dominance.

India has been in strong form in all departments, making it difficult for Sri Lanka to compete. Spinners Deepti Sharma and pacer Renuka Singh have been particularly impressive, each taking four wickets in the series. Young spinner Vaishnavi Sharma has also contributed with her tight bowling. No Sri Lankan batter has managed to score a half-century in the series so far, highlighting the effectiveness of the Indian bowling attack.

The toss has also been favorable for India in the previous matches, with Harmanpreet winning all three and opting to chase. The presence of dew in the later innings makes the toss crucial again for this fourth T20I.

While Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues have been performing well with the bat, star batter Smriti Mandhana has struggled, averaging just 13.33 in the last three games. With the series already decided, the team management might give opportunities to players like Kamalini and Harleen Deol in this match as they prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup. They are looking to finalize the team composition and experimenting with different combinations.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka, after three consecutive losses, will be hoping to regain some confidence and put up a better performance. Chamari Athapaththu, along with Hasini Perera, Kavisha, and Harshitha, will need to step up in the batting department to support the team. The Sri Lankan bowling attack has been relatively better, managing to restrict the Indian batters despite their inexperience.
