India Women vs Sri Lanka Women 3rd T20I: Pitch Report
Basically, the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram is all set to host the first-ever Women’s T20I match at this venue. Before this match, we had only seen three full matches at the venue, and that too in the T20I format. There are no chances of rain to interrupt the match.
The wicket here obviously makes it easy to bat second, and chasing is a great option at this venue. One thing that would favour batting first is the target. If the team scores a high total, the match can get tricky while chasing. The dew will also play a part later in the match as the captain who wins the toss would like to bowl first on this wicket.
