The excitement of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 continues as the 12th match is set to feature a high-stakes clash between Team India and Sri Lanka on Wednesday, October 9. This encounter marks the third meeting of these teams in the tournament and is pivotal for both sides as they vie for a spot in the semi-finals.
Sri Lanka has had a rough start, suffering losses in their first two matches, which puts immense pressure on the team as they face the formidable Indian side. With their chances for advancement dwindling, Sri Lanka must turn their performance around to avoid elimination from the tournament. On the flip side, Team India began their campaign with a disappointing defeat but bounced back in their second match, delivering a resounding victory against arch-rivals Pakistan.
For India, this match serves as a critical opportunity not only to solidify their standing in the tournament but also to avenge their recent defeat to Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final. The stakes are high, as both teams need to perform at their best to secure a spot in the next round. The absence of Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur due to a neck injury could be a significant blow, with Smriti Mandhana stepping in to lead the team if she is sidelined. Regardless of the lineup, India is determined to seize this chance to strengthen their campaign.
