The India Women vs. Sri Lanka Women Tri-Nation Series final at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, promises to be a thrilling contest on Sunday. India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, have been dominant throughout the tournament, securing their place in the final with a 23-run win over South Africa, thanks to Jemimah Rodrigues’ century and Deepti Sharma’s all-round performance. Jemimah’s consistent form with the bat and Sneh Rana’s 11 wickets, including a five-wicket haul, make India strong contenders. However, their recent three-wicket loss to Sri Lanka exposed some weaknesses, particularly in defending close totals.
Sri Lanka, captained by Chamari Athapaththu, are riding high on confidence after their first win over India in seven years during the group stage. Harshitha Samarawickrama’s composed batting and Dewni Vihanga’s effective bowling helped them edge past South Africa in the standings. Playing at home, Sri Lanka will rely on their spin-heavy attack and strong local support to challenge India’s powerful lineup. With match-winners on both sides, the final is set to be an exciting and closely fought battle.

R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch report:
The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is well known for its spin-friendly conditions, especially as games advance. In the early stages, the pitch offers consistent bounce and pace, enabling batters to play their shots freely and accumulate runs with ease. However, as the match progresses, the surface begins to wear down—developing cracks and uneven bounce—which increasingly favors the spinners. This transformation poses a greater challenge for batters, putting their technique and shot selection under serious scrutiny.
