After Sri Lanka Women won the first ODI at the National Cricket Stadium in St George's, Grenada, by a slim margin of 10 runs, the momentum has clearly turned in their favour. Additionally, they took a 1-0 lead in the series by posting a respectable 240 for 6 by calm batting and then defending it with disciplined spin bowling. Both teams recognise the value of momentum as the second ODI draws near, particularly because the match is still evenly matched. Hasini Perera, who struck 61, and Harshitha Samarawickrama, who patiently and controllably contributed 66, were the main contributors to Sri Lanka's total.
Additionally, the West Indies chase was hampered at crucial points by Inoka Ranaweera's decisive spell of 4 for 44. Although Jannillea Glasgow and Stafanie Taylor both scored 50 and 66 to keep the hosts in the game, the West Indies lost after being bowled out for 230. As a result, the second ODI is now very important. While Sri Lankan women will want to expand their advantage with another disciplined performance, West Indies women will try to counter with sharper execution in both areas. Therefore, the forthcoming encounter promises to be another fiercely contested struggle with pressure and confidence equally distributed.

National Cricket Ground Pitch Report:
In the past, teams batting second have been given preference at the National Cricket Stadium, where chasing teams typically win games. However, as the team batting first won both games, this series has shown a different pattern. Competitive totals are anticipated from the surface, with scores probably falling between 230 and 250. It is required of bowlers to seek help, especially if they keep their lines and lengths disciplined. Nevertheless, hitters must work hard since a careless shot choice could cost them dearly.
