The Indian women's cricket team, led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, will look to continue their dominant run as they face Sri Lanka in the fourth T20 International on Sunday, December 28, 2025. The match is scheduled to be played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
Series Already in the Bag for Dominant India
India has already clinched the bilateral T20I series with an unassailable 3-0 lead, making the final two matches of the series dead rubbers. The hosts have been in sublime form, outplaying Sri Lanka in every department. Their victories have been comprehensive, with the batting and bowling units firing in perfect harmony.
The Indian bowlers, spearheaded by the impressive Renuka Singh Thakur, have consistently put the Sri Lankan batters under pressure, restricting them to low totals. This has allowed the Indian batters to chase down targets with remarkable ease. In the previous matches, India has never lost more than three wickets and has completed the chase well within 15 overs, showcasing their sheer dominance.
Key Players in Focus for India
Opener Shafali Verma has been in terrific touch throughout the series, providing explosive starts. In the third T20I, captain Harmanpreet Kaur also found her rhythm, contributing a valuable cameo to get amongst the runs. The bowling attack, featuring the likes of Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh, has been the cornerstone of India's success, giving the Sri Lankan lineup no room to breathe.
Sri Lanka's Quest for a Consolation Win
On the other side, the Sri Lankan women's team, captained by the experienced Chamari Athapaththu, will be desperate to salvage some pride. Their aim will be to win at least one of the two remaining games and avoid a complete whitewash. While the visitors have shown flashes of their potential in brief phases, they have failed to deliver a complete, match-winning performance in the series so far.
The challenge for Sri Lanka will be to find a way to counter India's disciplined bowling and post a competitive total, something they have struggled to achieve consistently. A lot will depend on their skipper Athapaththu and the top order to lay a solid foundation.
Match Details and What to Expect
With the series result decided, the fourth T20I presents an opportunity for both teams to experiment. India might look to test their bench strength, while Sri Lanka will aim to finally click as a unit. The match promises to be an exciting contest as India pushes for a 4-0 lead and Sri Lanka fights for a face-saving victory. All eyes will be on the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram for this encounter.
