In a crucial Group A match at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, India will face Sri Lanka on Wednesday, October 9 at 6pm at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Sri Lanka, led by captain Chamari Athapaththu, are in desperate need of a win after losing their first two matches against Pakistan and Australia. A win against India will keep them mathematically alive in the tournament, but a loss would seal their fate. Athapaththu is taking personal responsibility for her team’s poor performance and is urging her younger teammates to handle the pressure better. India’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur, who was declared fit despite a late injury, will lead her team in the crucial match. India will be looking to improve their net run rate as they seek their second win of the tournament. Dubai’s pitches have produced low-scoring matches so far in the tournament, with batters struggling to score boundaries. The weather is expected to be cooler for the evening match. India holds a dominant head-to-head record against Sri Lanka, winning 19 of the 25 T20 matches between the two sides. Both teams will be looking to improve their batting performances in order to secure victory.
