India will look to continue their dominant run when they take on Sri Lanka in the fourth Women’s T20I of the five-match series in Thiruvananthapuram on Sunday (December 27).
Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, India have already sealed the series with an unassailable 3-0 lead, having comprehensively outplayed Sri Lanka in all three matches so far. The hosts’ dominance has been underlined by the ease of their run chases- India have not batted beyond the 15th over in any of the games and have faced targets of no more than 129.
India in cruise control as bowlers set the tone
India’s bowlers have been at the heart of the one-sided series. Off-spinner Deepti Sharma has been among the standout performers, picking up four wickets across the series, while pacer Renuka Singh matched that tally in a single match at the Greenfield International Stadium earlier this week.
Sri Lanka, meanwhile, will be aiming to avoid a clean sweep and restore some pride in the remaining matches, having struggled to match India’s intensity with both bat and ball.
