Sri Lanka Women vs India Women, 1st ODI: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
The first game of the ODI series between Sri Lanka Women and India Women will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on July 1.
Both sides recently competed in a three-match T20I series. There were closely-fought games throughout the series and the Indian side managed to win the rubber 2-1. They won the first two games of the series but the Lankan side bounced back to finish the series on a high and avoid a whitewash.
Chamari Athapaththu will continue to lead the Lankan side in the ODI series. She was brilliant in the last game of the T20I series, scoring 80 and remaining unbeaten to guide her side across the line while chasing 139.
She will look to carry forward her form in the ODI series. Everyone has to step up for them if they are to get an early lead in the series.
The Indian side will be led by Harmanpreet Kaur. She was named the player of the T20I series for her all-round performance in all three games. She has been a vital cog in the Indian side and has been handed the ODI captaincy after Mithali Raj hung up her boots.
They have a solid squad and start as favorites ahead of the ODI series.
