India will aim to complete a dominant clean sweep when they take on Sri Lanka in the fifth and final women’s T20I at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, on Tuesday.
The ongoing series has served as a crucial preparatory phase for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England next year, with India ticking most of the right boxes across departments.
Having already sealed the series, the hosts will look to end their home campaign on a high, while Sri Lanka enter the contest searching for a morale-boosting consolation victory.
India’s dominance throughout the series has been built largely on the strength of their bowling attack. Renuka Singh, Deepti Sharma, and Radha Yadav have dominated the powerplay and middle overs, repeatedly suffocating Sri Lanka’s scoring options.
As a result, the visitors have been restricted to sub-130 totals in the first three matches, allowing India to complete chases with ease, often with more than five overs to spare.
While the bowlers dictated terms early in the series, the fourth T20I saw India’s batting unit step up. The hosts posted their highest-ever total in women’s T20I cricket, led by a historic opening partnership.
Shafali Verma has been the undisputed star of the series. The opener has smashed three half-centuries at a strike rate exceeding 185.
Equally encouraging for India was Smriti Mandhana’s return to form in the fourth match. Her 80 off 48 balls, combined with Shafali’s aggression, produced a 162-run opening stand – the highest partnership for any opening pair in women’s T20I history.
For Sri Lanka, the final T20I offers a chance to show progress. After three heavy defeats batting first, they displayed greater intent while chasing in the fourth match. Hasini Perera’s attacking approach against the new ball and Nilakshika Silva’s late-order contributions provided encouraging signs, easing the burden on captain Chamari Athapaththu.
With the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup less than six months away, Sri Lanka will be eager to test India’s middle and lower order and finish the tour with tangible positives, even as India push to close out the series.
