IND-W vs SA-W Live Streaming, Tri-Nation Series 2025: The action continues in the Sri Lanka Women’s Tri-Nation ODI Series 2025 as India Women (IND-W) lock horns with South Africa Women (SA-W) in the second encounter of the tournament.
Taking place at the iconic R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, this fixture promises to be an enthralling affair between two heavyweights of the women’s cricketing world. India Women began their campaign in style, hammering hosts Sri Lanka by nine wickets in a rain-curtailed affair.

From disciplined bowling by Sneh Rana and debutant Nallapureddy Charani to the composed 50* from Pratika Rawal, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team looked clinical and composed. Meanwhile, South Africa Women arrive with redemption on their minds after a disheartening series defeat in England. Led by prolific run-machine Laura Wolvaardt, the Proteas will be desperate to find rhythm before the upcoming WODI World Cup.
The conditions at the R. Premadasa Stadium are expected to be mostly warm and humid during the morning session, with clouds hovering and chances of a mid-day downpour. Rain did interrupt the opener, and the weather forecast for Tuesday carries similar patterns, potentially affecting the latter half of the game.
As for the pitch, Colombo generally offers a surface that rewards patience. Pacers enjoy movement early on with the new ball, especially under overcast skies. However, as the pitch settles and the ball softens, spin takes centre stage. Expect run-making to be easier once the batters get set, but spinners like Sneh Rana and Nonkululeko Mlaba could be crucial on this slow-turner.
Riding high on confidence, the Indian camp will look to continue their momentum. Pratika Rawal’s impressive debut knock provided stability at the top, while Harleen Deol and Smriti Mandhana ensured no panic during the chase. The bowling unit, spearheaded by Sneh Rana, was equally impressive. Harmanpreet Kaur’s tactical nous was evident, and her side appears settled and focused.
The Proteas are rebuilding after a tough England tour. They will miss the services of experienced stars Marizanne Kapp and Anneke Bosch, which places additional pressure on Laura Wolvaardt. Tazmin Brits and Chloe Tryon bring attacking flair, while bowlers like Ayabonga Khaka and Mlaba will have to find breakthroughs to restrict the in-form Indian batting line-up.
