The India Women's team defeated the Sri Lankan Women's team in the first two T20I matches of the five-match series and extended their lead to 2-0. The third T20I match of the series is scheduled to be played at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, on Friday, 26th December. India Women The Indian Women's team is on a roll, winning the first two T20I matches of this five-match series against the Sri Lanka Women. After picking up a dominant 8-wicket victory in the opening match, the team continued their brilliant streak and picked up another dominating victory by 7 wickets in the third match to extend their lead to 2-0 in the series. Sri Lanka has failed to deliver with their batting; they were restricted to only 128 runs in their innings. All credit goes to the Indian bowlers who bowled as per their plans. Sree Charani and Vaishnavi Sharma took two wickets each. India chased the total within 11.5 overs, thanks to the power-packed knock from Indian's ODI World Cup final hero, Shefali Verma, who again took the match with her 69-run knock from just 34 deliveries. Sri Lanka Women Sri Lanka Women will be disappointed with their performance in the first two matches, especially how they have thrown their wickets away in loose running between the wickets. They lost the second match by 7 wickets and must be feeling the pressure of losing the series now. Sri Lanka, despite being an asian giant in this format, has failed to deliver as per their plan and is struggling to score runs against the Indian spinners. The visitors will have to put in some miraculous efforts to pull themselves back in the series and keep themselves alive.
