India kept a close eye on Sri Lanka’s scoring rate the whole time, with Kranti Gaud and Deepti Sharma taking early wickets at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday(December 21,2025).

Match Summary

Earlier, India’s captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and chose to field first against Chamari Athapaththu’s Sri Lanka in the opening match of the five-match T20I series.

This marks the first time the Indian women’s team is playing since their ODI World Cup victory on November 2.

No batter from Sri Lanka could really take advantage of their starts, and the Indian bowlers did a solid job keeping the Sri Lankan women to just 121/6 in 20 overs.

Vishmi Gunaratne was the standout for SL, scoring 39 runs off 43 balls.

India begins their 122-run chase.

India is confident they can easily chase down this target, especially with their strong batting lineup and the dewy conditions that might hinder SL spinners from making a significant impact in the match.

Shefali Verma was taken out by Sri Lanka earlier. Smriti Mandhana was also dismissed for 25 runs.

Sri Lanka made an effort to get this game as close as possible.

However, the Indian batsmen have made this game a formality.

India defeats Srilanka by eight wickets in Vizag thanks to Jemimah Rodrigues undefeated 69 runs.
