India Clinches T20I Series Against Sri Lanka in Dominating Fashion

Thiruvananthapuram, December 27, 2025 – The Indian Women’s Cricket team has secured a commanding victory in the five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka, sealing the deal with an emphatic eight-wicket win in the third match held at the Greenfield Stadium yesterday.

The “Women in Blue” have displayed superior form throughout the series, leaving the Sri Lankan team struggling to compete. India won all of the toss, opted to field second, and have chased down targets with relative ease. The Sri Lankan batting lineup has struggled to build substantial scores, failing to surpass the 120-run mark in any of the matches.

India’s success is attributed to their powerful batting order, featuring Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh, along with the exceptional all-around performance of Deepti Sharma. Sharma, who recently shone in the ODI World Cup, is on the verge of becoming the leading wicket-taker in women’s T20Is. In addition, Renuka Singh, returning to the T20I side after a year, has bolstered the bowling attack with her swing bowling prowess.

While some Sri Lankan batters, including skipper Chamari Athapaththu, Hasini Perera, Imesha Dulani, and Kavisha Dilhari, have shown glimpses of potential, they need to significantly elevate their performance to challenge the dominant Indian team.

With the series already decided, the two remaining matches, including one scheduled for December 28, will provide opportunities for both teams to experiment and fine-tune their strategies.

Teams:

  • India: Harmanpreet Kaur (Capt.), Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Harleen Deol, Sneh Rana, Richa Ghosh, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaud, Renuka Singh, G. Kamalini, Shree Charani and Vaishnavi Sharma.

  • Sri Lanka: Chamari Athapaththu (Capt.), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Hasini Perera, Vishmi Gunaratne, Nilakshika Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Imesha Dulani, Kaushini Nuthyangana, Malsha Shehani, Inoka Ranaweera, Shashini Gimhani, Nimesha Madushani, Kawya Kavindi, Rashmika Sewwandi and Malki Madara.

The fourth T20I will begin at 7 p.m. IST.
