India women vs Sri Lanka women in a lopsided contest in women’s cricket. Since their first encounter in 2000, India women have kept an upper hand over their neighbours.
Sri Lanka women, meanwhile, have had their moments in a few matches. Take, for instance, the Women’s World Cup encounter between both sides in 2013.
Sri Lanka women romped their way to a challenging 282 runs on the board. A disciplined bowling attack then bowled out India women for 144 runs to record a 138-run win.
This was a special win as Sri Lanka women defeated India women in an ODI match for the first time.
Sri Lanka women will draw inspiration from this decade-old victory when they take on a dominant India women’s side in the 2025 Women’s World Cup.
The two Asian sides will square off in the 50-over event on September 30, 2025, in Guwahati.
On that note, let’s look at the head-to-head timeline between India women and Sri Lanka women, including notable records and highlights.
