IND-W vs SL-W Playing 11: India women are all set for an exciting clash against Sri Lanka in Match 12 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 on Wednesday, October 9 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, UAE.
With the competition in Group A tightening with each day, Wednesday’s fixture will go a long way in deciding the fate of the group. Despite a comfortable win against their arch-rivals Pakistan in Match 7, India remain fourth in the group standings as a result of the massive defeat handed by New Zealand in the opening match.

The Kiwis shocked their opponent with a total of 160 runs in the first innings, eventually winning the match by 58 runs. A slow victory against Pakistan has proved insufficient to heal India’s net run rate, which currently stands at a dismal -1.217.
Sri Lanka is one of the only two teams to have a worse NRR, with the team sitting dead last in the group standings after losing both of their opening matches against Pakistan and Australia.
A victory on Wednesday will be crucial for both teams to keep their qualification hopes alive. As such, fans can expect an explosive contest at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium when India Women and Sri Lanka Women get on the pitch for the must-win match.
