IND W vs SL W 2nd T20I LIVE: Athapathuthu gone for 31 (Sri Lanka 38/2 in 5 overs)

IND W vs SL W 2nd T20I LIVE: After a resounding victory in the IND vs SL 1st T20I at Vizag just a couple of days ago, it is time for Harmanpreet Kaur’s team to continue the winning momentum. The Indians are head and shoulders above the Lankan counterparts, and the hosts would like to go 0-2, before heading to Thiruvananthapuram.

In their ranks they have Deepti Sharma, the world no. 1 bowler in T20Is, who would be eyeing 150 wickets in the format; apart from that all eyes will be on the Indian batting and if they can continue with their good showing. Vaishnavi Sharma went wicketless in her debut match, and would like to compensate on that.

Full Squads

India Women Squad: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Richa Ghosh(w), Deepti Sharma, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Vaishnavi Sharma, Kranti Gaud, Shree Charani, Harleen Deol, Renuka Singh Thakur, G Kamalini, Sneh Rana.

IND vs SL Live updates: Sneh Rana has a wicket

Chamari looked too aggressive and has to pay the price. Rana tosses it up and Amanjot Kaur takes an excellent catch to end her stay.

IND vs SL Live updates: She is a power-hitter

23/12/2025 19:20

Oh god. You have to really see Chamari bat, to understand just how powerful she is. She just gets under the ball from Arundhati, and the batter launches it into the orbit. What a shot.

IND vs SL Live updates: Spin already for India

23/12/2025 19:16

Sneh Rana is into the attack, but then Chamari doens't care much. She blasts another four.

IND vs SL Live updates: Chamari in attack mode

23/12/2025 19:12

The SL skipper has decided that she needs to attack. She dances down the track and hits a six over point. Sree Charani misjudges it completely. 13 runs come from the over.

IND vs SL Live updates: Vishmi out

23/12/2025 19:04

Team India has a wicket early. Vishmi hits one back to the bowler and Kranti Gaud completes a simple catch. It is a great start.

IND vs SL Live updates: SL need 160

23/12/2025 18:50

What should be the safe score for the Lankans? Well, 150 would have been enough with a better bowling attack, but now the Lanks at least need 160.

23/12/2025 18:23

Will India make any changes from the first match? Not needed TBH, but then it would be better if India try out Kamalini at the earliest.

Meanwhile in WPL...

Jemimah Rodrigues has been named DC skipper

IND vs SL 2nd T20I live updates: Shafali Verma's form?

23/12/2025 18:11

The Indian opener failed in the first match of the series; Yes, she made the difference in the World Cup a couple of months back, but then to be a top order player an not have a ton in almost 100 matches says something. Can she bring consistency in her game?

IND vs SL 2nd T20I live updates: Toss at 6.30 PM

23/12/2025 18:05

Just half an hour to go for the toss, and India would like to win and opt to bat. They would have to put to test, their batters. If only they can score 170-180 consistently, they can take on the big teams in T20 World Cup.

Deepti world no. 1 now

23/12/2025 17:57

Deepti Sharma has become the best bowler in the format, and is chasing 150 wickets
