India Women opt to bowl
Harmanpreet Kaur: We are going to bowl first. There will be dew in the second innings. Same plans as the last couple of games. We have two changes - Renuka is back and Deepti is back. Sneh and Arundhati are resting.
India Women have won the toss and have opted to field
18:00 Local Time, 12:30 GMT: India may not have been at their best in the opening game, but they corrected most of their mistakes in the second, producing a far more complete performance. Interestingly, the pattern across the first two matches has been almost identical: Harmanpreet won the toss and put Sri Lanka in to bat, the bowlers kept them to a below-par total and one of India’s top three produced a match-winning half-century to finish the chase comfortably. Today brings a change in venue, and Chamari Athapaththu will be hoping it also brings a change in fortunes for Sri Lanka. But they’ll need more than luck. To truly challenge this Indian side, they’ll have to lift their game significantly - batting, bowling, and fielding all need to come together. India, meanwhile, were without Deepti Sharma in the previous match, but Sneh Rana stepped in and delivered impressively. So what will they do with their XI today? We’ll know soon enough, as the toss and team news are coming up..
