The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on Saturday sees the Junction Oval in Melbourne host the India Women vs Sri Lanka Women fixture. The Women's T20 World Cup match sees two teams at the opposite ends of the Group A in a game that holds little consequence due to the results in the previous games. The Harmanpreet Kaur led-side enter the India Women vs Sri Lanka Women clash as favourites, having already secured a semi-final berth.

However, her counterpart Chamari Athapaththu will lead her team into the India Women vs Sri Lanka Women clash, knowing that a win will keep them alive in the competition if other results go their way. Here is the India Women vs Sri Lanka Women match details such as the India vs Sri Lanka pitch report.

Our India vs Sri Lanka pitch report involves the pitch at Junction Oval having something for the bowlers as well as the batters. The stadium has only hosted one game in this tournament so far where India Women faced off against New Zealand Women. The match was a thrilling contest, with India winning the game by three runs. The pitch is a bit on the slower side, and hence teams winning the toss will prefer batting first and the same is expected as per the India vs Sri Lanka pitch report.
