In a match that is very important, India plays Sri Lanka in the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup. India must get past their previous batting troubles if they are to improve their chances of making the semi-finals. They are looking for a massive win. The Indian batsmen are seriously threatened by Sri Lanka's potent bowling assault. Nonetheless, India is focused on achieving a comfortable win and raising their net run rate (NRR).

Venue:  Dubai International Cricket Stadium , Dubai, United Arab Emirates

IND-W vs SLW Match Prediction & Analysis

India defeated Pakistan in their most recent game, although they did not achieve a notable increase in their NRR. If they want to increase their chances of making it to the semi-finals, they must bat well. Despite losing their last two games, Sri Lanka's bowling arsenal can still exert pressure on India's struggling batting order.

India's hopes could be significantly impacted by the absence of its captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, who is presently recovering from a neck injury. The performance of Chamari Athapaththu, a key member of Sri Lanka's squad, will be essential to the country's success. The team's chances of posting a competitive total decrease if she doesn't contribute much.

TEAMS PREVIEW

India Preview

India's T20 World Cup campaign hasn't gone well; they lost their opening game against New Zealand and only just defeated Pakistan. Harmanpreet Kaur's leadership and experience are much needed now since their batting has been so poor. Should Kaur participate, it is anticipated that she will have a great performance as a finisher to aid India in scoring highly.

With low strike rate scores of 7 and 12 in her last two innings, Smriti Mandhana's form has been worrisome. With 32 runs in the previous game, Shafali Verma showed potential, but Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh, two members of India's middle order, need to step up.

One bright spot has been bowling, when Arundhati Reddy's performance against Pakistan proved to be the game-winning stroke. Essential bowlers to keep an eye on are Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh.

India Predicted Playing XI: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur (c), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wk), Deepti Sharma, Arundhati Reddy, S Sajana, Shreyanka Patil, Asha Sobhana, Renuka Thakur Singh

Sri Lanka Preview

Sri Lanka has struggled with their batting, so it seems unlikely that they will advance to the semi-finals. They have placed a great deal of reliance in Chamari Athapaththu, whose patchy play puts the team at danger. It is also necessary for players like Hasini Perera and Harshitha Samawickrama to step up and offer assistance.

Athapaththu, Perera, and Samawickrama bear a large portion of the blame for scoring runs due to Vishmi Gunaratne's dismal performance in the competition thus far. To give their hitters a chance, the Sri Lankan bowlers, such as Udeshika Prabodhani and Sugandika Kumari, need to play well.

Sri Lanka Predicted Playing XI: Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Hasini Perera, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Sugandika Kumari, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera

Weather Conditions

Anticipate a clear day with a maximum temperature of 33 degrees Celsius in Dubai. Since there hasn't been any dew in the evening matches, the conditions are unlikely to be favorable for batting.

IND-W vs SLW Pitch Report

Batters find the pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium difficult since it is slow and has little bounce. Spinners will probably be in high demand, and teams batting first will want to score at least 160 runs to win.

Toss Prediction

While there is evidence that bowling first has been advantageous at this venue, India has to focus on increasing their NRR above all else. Consequently, it could be advisable to bat first in order to put pressure on Sri Lanka and earn a significant victory.

IND-W vs SLW Winning Prediction

India has a difficult challenge ahead of them; in order to improve their NRR, they must win their remaining matches with confidence. Due to its batting difficulties, Sri Lanka is not deep enough to match an effective Indian bowling squad. India is the better squad overall and is the favorite to win this game.

India to win the match!
