India Women put in a dominant all-round performance against Sri Lanka Women and underlined their authority by winning the first three T20Is of the series in emphatic fashion. The visitors have hardly been challenged as India chased down modest targets with ease in all three matches, highlighting the gap in form and execution between the two sides.
In the opening match, India comfortably chased a target of 122, losing just two wickets and ending the chase in 14.4 overs. The second T20I followed a similar script, with India driving to 129 for the loss of just three wickets in just 11.5 overs. The third match proved no different as India’s bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to 112 for 7 before the batters completed an eight-wicket win in 13.2 overs.
Shafali Verma has been the standout performer with the bat, amassing 157 runs in the series so far and consistently giving India explosive starts. The bowling unit was equally impressive, with Renuka Singh producing a match-winning spell of 4 for 21 in the third T20I, while Deepti Sharma has provided crucial wickets during the matches.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, has struggled to build momentum, posting only modest figures despite battling contributions from Vishmi Gunaratne And Harshitha Samarawickrama. With India firmly in control, the series has been a one-sided affair so far.

Greenfield International Stadium Field Report
The pitch at Greenfield International Stadium is traditionally known to favor hitters, with a real surface and a fast outfield that allows runs to flow freely. That said, its coastal location means that weather conditions can have a significant impact on the game. High humidity is often a factor, and as the match progresses into the evening, the presence of dew is expected to become increasingly apparent.
Dew is likely to make bowling difficult in the second innings, especially for spinners, as gripping the ball becomes a challenge. As a result, captains are expected to favor bowling after winning the toss. Chasing under the lights usually offers more comfortable batting conditions, while later fielding and bowling can be tricky due to the wet ball and slippery outfield.
