Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain, has fallen, nine runs shy of her half-century. After Sugandhika Kumari drew her length back, Harmanpreet was unable to hold her shot down, which led to her collapse.

Harleen Deol died just when it appeared that she was attempting to escalate the situation, falling directly into Dewmi Vihanga’s clutches during her follow-through.
The Women in Blue know that they must maintain the aggressive approach while continuing to take it, and captain Harmanpreet Kaur started her innings without wasting many deliveries, while Harleen Deol made up for her overly slow start with a couple of back-to-back boundaries in the second half of the innings. Smriti Mandhana left after scoring an incredible 116 runs! Vihanga takes the game’s opening wicket. Now, after 32.3 overs, the Indian ladies are 190-2.

In the current tri-series, Smriti Mandhana hammered her second straight fifty and a very important one today in the final. Following Rawal’s dismissal, Mandhana must remain at the wicket, advance the innings, and make it a memorable one. After a sluggish start, Pratika Rawal was killed when she attempted to chip one in the air but instead struck the mid-on fielder in the throat. One wicket has been lost by India. Rawal performed well, but after getting off to a strong start, her final score of 30 off 49 seems a little too cautious. In 14.5 overs, India scored 70/1. Although Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal were cautious and watchful at first, they have established a strong opening partnership and must build on it in order to lay the groundwork for what is likely to be a score of 300 or more.
Both Mandhana and Rawal put their foot on the accelerator and hit some crucial boundaries to conclude the field restrictions on a high note, scoring 31 runs in the last five overs of the powerplay. The opening duo would want to get big ones right away because the powerplay is wicketless. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal, the openers, started carefully and gave up just 14 runs in the opening five overs. They wanted to adjust to the pitch’s tempo before taking their shots, which they began doing in the sixth over.
After choosing to bat first, Indian openers Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal will be eager to get their team off to a strong start. In the current tri-series, the pitches at the R Premadasa Stadium have performed admirably, and India would undoubtedly aim for a score of at least 300. Piumi Badalge, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (w), Hasini Perera, Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Dewmi Vihanga, Sugandika Kumari, Malki Madara, and Inoka Ranaweera.
Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of India, has chosen to bat first. Admittedly, Kaur was pleased with the team’s performance in the previous match and was sure that the Women in Blue could defend their score if they scored well. However, Chamari Athapaththu, the captain of Sri Lanka, was delighted to bowl first. The weather in Colombo is hot and sticky, and it will only grow worse for all of the players. There is a good amount of grass covering the field. According to Farveez Maharoof, batting first might not be a bad idea because it will keep the pitch together for 100 overs even though it won’t help with much movement. According to him, “275-300 should be a good total,”
After holding South Africa to 237 in the previous encounter, Sri Lanka let India to chase down 149 in less than 30 overs, scored 275 in the second game, and then gave up 315 against them in the final four matches. In the current tri-series, their bowlers have been under pressure, but the hitters have maintained their form and won a couple of games by themselves. If the hosts must contend with India for the championship, a strong bowling effort will be essential.
After being given a reality check against Sri Lanka, it was encouraging to see all of the batsmen yield to India’s aggressive style. Every batter took their shots even though they were losing wickets, and what was the outcome? India ultimately achieved their fifth-best overall score and their highest team score versus the Proteas. Maintaining the strategy will be difficult for this Indian squad because they will be playing against nations like Australia, England, and New Zealand at the World Cup.
In the final of the Women’s Tri-Nations Series in Colombo, India will play the hosts, Sri Lanka. South Africa could only secure a consolation victory, while Sri Lanka had a terrible start and finish but managed two sizable chases in between to earn vital four points. India, on the other hand, earned their spot after winning three of their four games. Can India overcome the knockout curse and boost their much-needed self-esteem this World Cup year?
