India vs Sri Lanka Women’s Tri-Nation Series Final 2025: The grand finale of the Women’s Tri-Nation ODI Series 2025 between the India Women’s National Cricket Team and Sri Lanka Women’s National Cricket Team is underway at the iconic R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday, May 11.
Indian skipper Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and elected to bat first, placing the pressure on Sri Lanka to chase under lights on what looks to be a dry surface with potential assistance for spinners later in the game. With this decision, the Indian women aim to put up a strong total and defend it under the lights with their powerful spin attack.
Historically, India have had a dominant record over Sri Lanka in Women’s ODIs. Out of the 34 matches played between the two sides, India have emerged victorious in 30 encounters. Sri Lanka have managed to win only 3 matches, with one game ending without a result. This lopsided record sets the stage for yet another thrilling contest as Sri Lanka aim to overturn the odds in the final.
Here’s a look at the playing XIs for both teams in today’s final clash:
India Women’s Playing XI: Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Harmanpreet Kaur (captain), Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh (wicketkeeper), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Shri Charani, Sneh Rana, Kranti Gaur
Sri Lanka Women’s Playing XI: Hasini Perera, Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Chamari Athapaththu (captain), Piumi Balthazaar Badalge, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wicketkeeper), Dewmi Vihanga, Sugandika Kumari, Malsha Madhara, Inoka Ranaweera
Both teams have fielded strong lineups with a balance of experience and youth. For India, star players like Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Deepti Sharma will be key to setting up a solid foundation with the bat. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will rely heavily on the form of captain Chamari Athapaththu, along with their experienced bowling trio of Ranaweera, Kumari, and Badalge to strike early blows.
As the Women’s Tri-Nation Series 2025 reaches its climactic end, both India and Sri Lanka are eyeing the coveted title. India will look to maintain their dominance, while Sri Lanka will aim to create history on home soil.
