Summit clash: Indian women rely on batting firepower

• India’s women’s team aims to win the ODI tri-series final against Sri Lanka.

• Harmanpreet Kaur’s team has been the most dominant, leading the points table with three wins from four matches.

• Sri Lanka finished second with two wins and as many losses, while South Africa lost with only one win in four games.

• The win will be crucial for both India and Sri Lanka as it will aid their preparations for the ODI World Cup.

• Key players contributing to India’s success include Jemimah Rodrigues, Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, and Deepti Sharma.

• Sri Lanka’s star batter, Harshitha Samarawickrama, is expected to continue her strong performance against India.

• Chamari Athapaththu, the home captain, hasn’t been at her best, but her contributions in the summit clash could influence the outcome.

• Dewmi Vihanga, a key Lankan bowler, has had the strongest impact in the competition, but the Indian batters have negated her well so far.
