India Women hold a commanding 3-0 lead in this five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka Women, making the 4th T20I a chance for the hosts to push for a clean sweep while the visitors fight to salvage pride.
India Women vs Sri Lanka Women, 4th T20I, Sri Lanka Women in India 2025-26. The match takes place on December 28, 2025, at 7:00 PM IST (6:30 PM local time in Thiruvananthapuram) at Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.
The Greenfield International Stadium pitch offers true bounce on black soil, balancing pace early with spin grip later, though dew has aided chases in this series—bowling first remains preferable. Expect partly cloudy skies with temperatures around 29-31°C, high humidity near 81%, light winds, and minimal rain risk for a full game.
With the series already sealed after dominant chases in Visakhapatnam and here in Trivandrum—India wrapping up targets under 15 overs each time—this fixture lets Harmanpreet Kaur’s side experiment ahead of the T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka, whitewashed 3-0, desperately need middle-order firepower beyond Chamari Athapaththu to avoid a clean sweep, having struggled to post beyond 129. Key talking points include India’s bowling depth, led by Deepti Sharma’s near-record wickets and Renuka Singh’s four-for, versus Sri Lanka’s search for consistent batters like Harshitha Samarawickrama.
Head-to-Head
India Women lead 19-6 in 25 T20I meetings, showcasing long-term dominance. In the last five: India won the 1st T20I by 8 wickets (SL 121/6, IND 122/2), 2nd by 7 wickets, 3rd by 8 wickets (SL 112/7, IND 115/2), plus two prior wins—Sri Lanka’s last victory dates back years.

India Women Analysis
India’s top order—Smriti Mandhana (consistent since 2024 World Cup), Shafali Verma (unbeaten 79 in 3rd T20I), Jemimah Rodrigues—fires relentlessly, backed by Harmanpreet Kaur’s captaincy. Strengths lie in spin variety (Deepti Sharma, Vaishnavi Sharma) and pace (Renuka Singh, Kranti Gaud), restricting foes under 130; weakness is untested lower-order depth, though G Kamalini could debut. Recent form: WWW across series, chasing flawlessly.
Sri Lanka Women Analysis
Chamari Athapaththu remains the linchpin, but the middle order collapses without support from Hasini Perera or Harshitha Samarawickrama, who needs a breakout after Asia Cup promise. Bowling lacks bite beyond Inoka Ranaweera, with fielding lapses compounding low totals; strength is occasional cameos like Imesha Dulani. Form: LLLL, outclassed throughout.
India Women should extend their streak to 4-0, chasing comfortably if bowling first on this balanced track, given superior form and depth
