Changes in Indian Playing 11: INDW vs SLW 5th T20I – Probable Playing XIs, Full Squads, Streaming and Broadcasting Details
India Women will face Sri Lanka Women in the 5th and final T20I of the series today at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. With a dominant 4-0 lead, India have already sealed the series, but the final match still holds importance as both teams look to finish strong.
The biggest talking point ahead of the match is the expected change in India’s Playing11, with Jemimah Rodrigues set to return after missing the 4th T20I due to a mild fever.
India’s Dominance in the 4th T20I
The 4th T20I was a statement performance from India Women. Openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma stole the show with a record-breaking partnership. Both batters scored fluent half-centuries and helped India post their highest-ever WT20I total of 221/2.
After their dismissal, Richa Ghosh’s explosive cameo ensured India crossed the 220-run mark. Despite a brave chase led by Chamari Athapaththu, Sri Lanka fell short and lost the match by 30 runs.
Jemimah Rodrigues Set to Return
Jemimah Rodrigues missed the 4th T20I due to a mild fever, and Harleen Deol was included in her place. Jemimah is now fully fit and is expected to return to the Playing XI for the final match.
With the series already decided, India may still prefer their strongest combination, especially with Jemimah offering solidity in the middle order and sharp fielding.
