The fourth match of the Women’s ODI Tri-Series will take place between hosts Sri Lanka and India at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday, May 4.
India enters the contest in dominant form, having won both of their matches in the tournament so far — including a convincing victory against Sri Lanka in their opening clash. With two wins in two games, India sits comfortably at the top of the points table. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will be looking to bounce back after a tough start. After their loss to India, they suffered another defeat against South Africa, leaving them winless in the competition so far. A victory in this match is crucial for the hosts to stay in contention for the final.
Women’s ODI tri-series: Match 4
- Date and Time: May 4; 10:00 am IST / 04:30 am GMT
- Venue: R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:
The surface at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is traditionally known to favour spinners, especially as the match wears on. Early in the innings, batters can take advantage of the true bounce and decent pace, which allows for fluent shot-making and a strong start in powerplay overs.
However, as the game progresses, the pitch begins to wear, with cracks appearing and bounce becoming unpredictable. This shift brings spinners into play, making timing and shot selection increasingly difficult for batters. Spin bowlers often exploit the grip and turn available, especially under lights. Historically, teams batting first have enjoyed greater success, as the deteriorating surface makes chasing tricky.
