India and Sri Lanka are set to square off in the 12th match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, with India needing a victory to keep their tournament hopes alive. Following New Zealand’s loss to Australia, India have an opportunity to strengthen their position of acquiring a spot in the knockout stage, but it’s a must-win situation for the Women in Blue.
Despite having slim chances of progressing after two defeats, Sri Lanka can still impact the tournament by spoiling India’s campaign. With nothing to lose, the Sri Lankan side will be looking to upset India’s chances and finish their World Cup campaign on a positive note.
