India Women vs Sri Lanka Women 4th T20I Match Prediction - Who will win today's match between IND-W vs SL-W T20I match?

The India Women's team defeated the Sri Lankan Women's team in the third match and sealed the series with a lead of 3-0 in the five-match series. The fourth T20I match of the series is scheduled to be played at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, on Sunday, 28th December.

India Women

The Indian Women's team is on a roll, winning the first three matches of this five-match series against the Sri Lanka Women to seal the series. The team continued their brilliant winning streak and picked up another dominating victory by 8 wickets in the third match--all wins have come while chasing. Sri Lanka has failed to deliver with their batting; they were restricted to only 112/7 in their innings. It was a great bowling display from Renuka Singh and Deepti Sharma, who took four and three wickets respectively. They chased down the target in just 13.2 overs with the help of Shefali Verma's unbeaten 79-run knock--her second consecutive half-century in the series. With the series already in their pocket, the Women in Blue are aiming to achieve a clean sweep while winning the remaining two games.

Sri Lanka Women

Sri Lanka Women will be disappointed with their performance in the series. They have been poor with their batting, mediocre with their bowling and too normal in their fielding efforts. They have failed to even cross the 130-run mark in this series--displaying their consistent struggles against the Indian spinners. If not batting, their bowling has been too poor to comment, losing all three matches in this series while defending with big margins. While only two games are remaining, the visitors will look for a victory.
