SL-W vs IN-W 2nd T20 Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report | SL-W vs IN-W 2nd T20 Dream11 Prediction Today | Sri Lanka Women vs India Women 2nd T20 Key Players | Dambulla Pitch Report
The first T20I had a familiar feel to it. Sri Lanka started in promising fashion, but were ultimately stifled by India’s spinners on a slow pitch to concede a 1-0 series lead.
In the second match, which is a must-win for the home side, they will be aiming to build on the positives and be more proactive with the bat. With the ball, they took early wickets and then kept striking at regular intervals, but their death bowling will be under the spotlight. With the bat, much still rests on Chamari Athapaththu to give Sri Lanka a strong start. If these factors fall into place, anything is possible.
However, it will be a challenge to overcome India’s experience and depth. The visitors negotiated a difficult start well thanks firstly to Shafali Verma and Harmanpreet Kaur, before Jemimah Rodrigues continued her love affair with Sri Lanka. From there, the spinners were tough to get away in slow conditions, and the template is set for more of the same in this second T20I.

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats
Sri Lanka:
- Oshadi Ranasinghe continued her wonderful bowling form. She dismissed both Smriti Mandhana and Sabbhineni Meghana in the first T20I, soon after she took six wickets in three T20Is against Pakistan.
- Chamari Athapaththu’s wicket is crucial for India. The Sri Lanka captain gave her wicket away for 16 in the opening T20I, and she will be determined to make amends here.
- Athapaththu has the most runs of any SL player against India (366). She also has eight wickets, including 1/7 in the first T20I.
- Kavisha Dilhari top scored for Sri Lanka two days ago (47* off 49 balls). The key will be a quicker strike rate today.
- The experienced Inoka Ranaweera bowled nicely in the first T20I. Her 3/30 included three unique dismissals, indicating her ability to bowl different types of deliveries. She has 10 wickets in seven matches against India.
- Udeshika Prabodhani (0/21 in the first T20I) has the most wickets of any SL bowler against India. She has taken 15 wickets in 16 matches at an economy rate of just five runs per over.
India:

- Smriti Mandhana averages just 12.92 in 13 T20I knocks vs Sri Lanka. It is a surprising stat for a player of Mandhana’s nature. Will today be the day she fires?
- Harmanpreet Kaur recently scored 151 runs in three matches at an average of 50.33 and strike rate of 138.53 in the Women’s T20 Challenge. This was the most of any player. She also looked in good touch in the first T20I before losing her wicket after a start (22 off 20 balls).
- Pooja Vastrakar took the most wickets (6) in the T20 Challenge this year. Also, she was impressive in the first T20I, conceding just 13 in four overs with a wicket and a maiden.
- Deepti Sharma (1/9 in the first T20I) has taken nine wickets in ten innings vs SL at an average of 19.44 and economy rate around five. She could also be key with the bat again after a crucial 17* (8) two days ago.
- Radha Yadav has 12 wickets in just seven innings against Sri Lanka. She will be looking to build on her 2/22 in the opening game.
