India Women vs Sri Lanka Women has once again proved to be a one-sided fixture in the world of women’s cricket. Since their first meeting in 2000, India Women have dominated consistently, and the latest results in the ongoing Sri Lanka Women tour of India 2025 T20I series have continued the same trend.
Sri Lanka Women have produced a few memorable moments in the rivalry, including their famous win in the 2013 Women’s World Cup. However, India’s overall strength and depth have kept them ahead in most formats across years.
That 2013 victory still remains historic for Sri Lanka Women, where they posted 282 and bowled India out for 144 to secure their first-ever ODI win over India.
With renewed hopes, Sri Lanka Women entered the 2025 season, including the ICC Women’s World Cup and the current five-match T20I series in India, but India Women have once again displayed their superiority.
The two sides played the 1st T20I on December 21, 2025, in Visakhapatnam—where India Women dominated and registered a comfortable 8-wicket win while chasing 122 inside just 14.4 overs.
Below is the updated timeline, squads, and rivalry highlights after the latest T20I series match.
