Tri-Nation ODI Series 2025: IND-W vs SA-W Match 2 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Head to Head

The Indian squad would be pleased with the outcome and overall performance of the team in the tri-series opener against Sri Lanka women in a rain-soaked match in Colombo, which was set up by the bowlers and had a net run rate of +2.08. Given the early onset of the monsoon, this may not be the ideal time of year to have a cricket tournament in Sri Lanka, but the players and all other participants will be hoping that the rain gods will give in at least one match day. When the Women in Blue play a far more formidable South African team on Tuesday, they will be feeling confident going into their second meeting.

India, who are without many of their first-choice bowlers, needed the bowling attack, which is mainly inexperienced, to perform well and keep Sri Lanka to a chaseable score. In contrast, South Africa is playing together at home for the first time in almost four months, since the England series.

IND-W vs SA-W Match 2 Details:

R Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:

Bat and ball matches at Colombo's R. Premadasa Stadium have always been evenly matched. Teams that bat first have won eight of the 15 WODIs played here. Batters will appreciate the ball hitting the bat nicely in the early going. Because of the cloudy circumstances, pacers should receive some assistance in the opening ten overs. Spinners will be used when the pitch wears and the ball becomes softer. The secret may lie in winning the toss and bowling first.
