Match Preview
In the second game of the Asia Cup, it will be India Women up against Sri Lanka Women. India Women have won the Asia Cup title six times and now with Harmanpreet Kaur as their skipper, they are now determined more than ever to win the cup this year.
India Women had a brilliant outing against England Women in the recently concluded T20I and ODI series. Although they lost the T20I series 2-1, they came back strongly to win all three ODIs.
Thus, they will hope to improve as a unit in tomorrow’s game against Sri Lanka women.
Sri Lanka women, on the other hand, have not played together as a team should which is why they haven’t been able to win any T20 matches so far. They even lost matches in the Commonwealth Games this year.
Sri Lanka would be hoping that their skipper Chamari Atapattu would revive their T20I game with a blistering start in tomorrow’s game against India.
A great contest can be expected between these two sides.

Top Picks for IND-W vs SL-W Dream11 Match:
India Women
Smriti Mandhana
Mandhana is currently one of the best players when it comes to T20Is for India Women. She is India’s highest run-getter in this format as she has 1888 runs in just 66 games with an average of 32. During the England series, Mandhana was at her very best.
Harmanpreet Kaur
Kaur is another wonderful batter for India when it comes to T20Is. She had a great outing against England women and even scored a ton in the ODI series. Harmanpreet was also the leading run-scorer in the series with 221 runs in just 3 games. In her T20I career, she has 1305 runs for India in 57 games.
Shafali Verma
Verma is an aggressive batter at the top of the order for India and will be a very good pick against Sri Lanka women tomorrow. And when she stays at the wicket for long, she scores plenty of runs. As Sri Lanka women don’t have a strong bowling lineup, this is Verma’s chance to shine.
Sri Lanka Women
Chamari Athapaththu
She is the leading run-scorer for Sri Lanka when it comes to T20Is and the team will be dependent on her performance. In all, she has 1047 runs in 39 matches.
Inoka Ranaweera
Ranaweera was excellent with the ball against South Africa Women at the Commonwealth Games this year. She bowled two overs and gave only 13 runs with an economy rate of 6.50 in that game.
Anushka Sanjeewani
Sanjeewani is an excellent batswoman for Sri Lanka but she did not play well against South Africa Women at the Commonwealth Games. She will have to put up a better performance against India Women.
Players to avoid for IND-W vs SL-W Dream11 Match:
India Women
Dayalan Hemalatha
Hemalatha scored only 2 runs in the last ODI match against England Women and hence must be avoided for tomorrow’s match.
Sri Lanka Women
Hasini Perera
Perera opened the batting for Sri Lanka women at the top but got out without scoring against South Africa women. She will be expected to play a big role in tomorrow’s game.
Probable Winner
Looking at the team combinations, we can say that India Women are the favourites to win this contest.
