PREVIEW
Opting to bowl first? Aim to restrict them to 120. Batting first? Target a score of 220.
The team discussions for the Indian Women’s team in the five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka might have echoed these tactics. Riding high on their recent triumph at the home ODI World Cup, the team is showcasing the confidence of a champion side.
Sri Lanka delivered a much-improved batting performance in the fourth T20I at the Greenfield Stadium on Sunday, though their bowling was costly. India emerged victorious by 30 runs, having set their highest-ever T20I total (221 for two).
This marked the first instance of India batting first in the series, following Chamari Athapaththu’s debut toss win. With her batters, including herself, struggling against a well-rounded Indian attack and failing to post a competitive score, her decision to bowl was expected.
