The third game of the ODI series between Sri Lanka Women and India Women will be played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele on July 7. India Women have already sealed the series as they lead 2-0.
India Women won the first ODI convincingly and arrived into the second ODI with an eye on a series victory.
The hosts needed to bring out their A-game to keep the series alive, which they failed miserably as the Women in Blue completed a comprehensive victory to seal the series on Monday itself.
Electing to bowl first, the Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly to knock over the Lankan side on 173 in 50 overs.
The opening batters in Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana were up to the task as they both played brilliantly and put up an unbeaten stand of 174 to chase down the total in 25.4 overs.
With the 10-wicket win, India completed a series victory as the Lankan side didn't stand a chance in the game.
So far, the hosts have failed to fire in unison. They need to put up a much-improved performance in the final game of the series.
ICC Championship points are up at stake and they will have to be at their absolute best to grab those. The Indian Women will surely be eyeing a whitewash.
