With the first match of the five-match T20I series setting the tone, both India Women and Sri Lanka Women will look to gain crucial momentum in the second T20I. The Women in Blue are up in the series by a margin of 1-0 and will aim to extend their dominance and take an extended lead in the series, while Sri Lanka Women will hope to bounce back strongly and keep the contest alive. The IND-W vs SL-W 2nd T20I 2025 will be played at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, a venue known for assisting batters and producing competitive mid-to-high scoring encounters. India Women Defeat Sri Lanka Women by 8 Wickets in 1st T20I; Bowlers, Jemimah Rodrigues Help Hosts Kickstart Series With Dominant Victory.

Despite a convincing performance in the opening game, India Women still have a few areas to fine-tune. The batting has shown promise but has been largely dependent on top-order contributions from Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, while the middle order will be keen to make a bigger impact. The bowling attack has been India’s major strength, with Deepti Sharma and Kranti Gaud leading the charge, supported well by the spin duo of Vaishnavi Sharma and Sree Charani in the middle overs.

Sri Lanka Women, on the other hand, will take confidence from individual performances despite the loss. Skipper Chamari Athapaththu remains the key to their batting, while players like Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari add stability to the lineup. The bowling unit, led by Kawya Kavindi and Inoka Ranaweera, will need to be more disciplined, especially during the powerplay and death overs, to challenge the strong Indian batting lineup.
