Commentry
The final game of group-stage action at the 2025 ICC Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup sees defending champions India facing Sri Lanka at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur. Both teams have remained unbeaten so far in Group A, with dominant victories over West Indies and Malaysia, securing their spots in the Super Six stage. However, this encounter holds crucial significance as the winner will top the group. This not only helps avoid a potential Super Six showdown against the winner of Group D but also, since teams carry forward both their wins and net run rate against fellow qualifiers from the group, a victory here will provide a vital advantage in the next round. India’s victories so far have been achieved while chasing modest targets of 45 and 32, meaning their batters have not yet been fully tested. The top order of Trisha Gongadi, Kamalini G, and Sanika Chalke has had some time in the middle, albeit brief, and could come good against a strong Lankan side. India's bowling has been a key strength, particularly their slow left-arm orthodox spinners. Vaishnavi Sharma, on debut, was exceptional against Malaysia, with figures of 5 for 5, including a hat-trick. With as many as four options available, the defending champions rotated their attack in the previous game, bringing in Sharma for Sonam Yadav. It remains to be seen whether they will rotate again or stick with the same spin combination for this crucial match against Sri Lanka. As for Sri Lanka, both of their wins have come while batting first, which has allowed them to get a solid understanding of how to pace their innings across the full 20 overs. The confidence gained from having runs on the board, particularly from key players like Sanjana Kavindi, Dahami Sanethma, and captain Manudi Nanayakkara, could provide Sri Lanka with the edge going into this crucial encounter. Like India, Sri Lanka have also relied on spin, with 15-year-old left-arm spinner Chamudi Praboda being the standout performer so far. However, to overcome a power-packed Indian batting unit, it will take more than just individual brilliance. Sri Lanka will need collective contributions from their bowlers, with the likes of Shashini Gimhani, Limansa Thilakaratne, and Aseni Thalagune expected to step up and deliver. These two sides faced off during the Asia Cup at the same venue in December last year, where India came out on top. Can Sri Lanka turn the tables this time and clinch victory in this crucial encounter? We shall find out.
