India Women’s Tri-Nation ODI Series: All You Need To Know

The Indian Women’s Cricket Team is gearing up for action again — this time in a tri-nation ODI series kicking off on April 27 in Colombo. It’s India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa going head-to-head in what should be a good warm-up before the bigger tournaments lined up later this year.

This series is going to be very important for all three teams, especially India, as they look to try out some new players and also prepare a solid lineup. Sri Lanka will be playing at home and will want to show a better game, and South Africa, who are always competitive, will look to test their combinations. 

The series will start from April 27, and all matches are day games and will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium.

Schedule of Tri-Nation Series:

Like mentioned, all matches will be day games at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo from April 27 to May 11. The start time for all the games is 10:00 AM IST. Each team will play twice against each other, and the top team after all the league games will qualify for the final. Below is the full cricket schedule of this tri-series:

Plenty of action packed in a short window, and every game is expected to be competitive.

Indian Team Squad for Tri Series

India’s team for the tri-series is looking like a nice mix — some regular faces and a couple of fresh names in there too. Harmanpreet Kaur is back as captain, and Smriti Mandhana will be her go-to support as vice-captain. Youngsters like Kashvee Gautam and Shuchi Upadhyay have got their call-up and it’ll be exciting to see what they bring to the table. Players like Deepti Sharma and Sneh Rana, who can do a bit of everything, add a lot of balance to the side. Here’s the full squad for the series:

Who Can Win the Tri Series?

Tough to predict the winner of the series. On paper, India clearly has a strong squad with the right balance. But playing conditions in Sri Lanka can always bring surprises. The pitch in Colombo is generally on the slower side, which could help spinners, and that’s something India is good at too.

South Africa also has some dangerous players, especially in the batting. If they click as a unit, they are serious contenders.

Sri Lanka, despite playing at home, hasn’t had a great run lately, but they always fight hard, especially in home conditions. So overall, India starts as favourites, but it won’t be a cakewalk. To stay updated with all the news of this series, subscribe to Khelostar News today.
