IND-W vs SL-W, 4th T20I: Sri Lanka look to wrest back momentum against high-flying India

India will take on Sri Lanka in the fourth T20I on Sunday in Thiruvananthapuram. The women in blue will walk into the fourth T20I against Sri Lanka with confidence soaring and the series squarely under their control. Leading the five-match series 3-0, the hosts have been thoroughly dominant, leaving Sri Lanka in shambles. Another win would seal the series for India and put Sri Lanka under more pressure. 

Under the calm leadership of Harmanpreet Kaur, India have executed their plans meticulously, showing awareness across all departments. One of the most notable aspects of the series has been India's chasing prowess. In all three matches so far, India have comfortably hunted down targets, not allowing Sri Lanka to dominate.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have struggled to find momentum. Much has been expected from captain Chamari Athapaththu, however, she has lacked consistent support from the rest of the batting unit. Players like Hasini Perera, Kavisha Dilhari, and Harshitha Samarawickrama have been unable to deliver substantial innings. Heading into the fourth game, Sri Lanka will be desperate to salvage pride and hope to put up a competitive performance.
