In the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, India will face Sri Lanka in their third Group A match in Dubai this evening, with the game scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST.

The race for semifinal spots in the World Cup is heating up in both groups, with every match now carrying high stakes. After bouncing back from a tough loss to New Zealand in their opener, India secured a six-wicket win against Pakistan. On the other hand, Sri Lanka is struggling at the bottom of Group A, having faced heavy defeats against both Pakistan and Australia.

India must avoid any slip-ups in this game, as they not only need a win but a large enough victory to improve their Net Run Rate before their crucial match against defending champions Australia on October 13. For Sri Lanka, advancing to the next round now looks highly unlikely, and they will need a miracle to stay in contention.
