IND-W vs SL-W Live Score: India won the toss and opted to bowl first. Debut cap was handed to left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma, who replaces Radha Yadav from World Cup squad.

The India women’s cricket team will play for the first time since lifting the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup trophy on November 2. The focus will be on Smriti Madhana, who’s going through some turbulent times in his personal life.

Given the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2026 season begins in less than 3 weeks, the franchises will be looking keenly at the form of their players as well.
