India vs Sri Lanka Women 2nd T20I Match Prediction: Hosts Eye 2-0 Lead

India Women began their five-match T20I series against Sri Lanka with an emphatic 8-wicket victory in the first game, powered by Jemimah Rodrigues’ brilliant 69 off 44 balls. The win marked India’s 21st in women’s T20Is against Sri Lanka, highlighting their clear superiority in the head-to-head record. With the series now 1-0, India will look to seal a 2-0 lead in the second T20I on December 23 at ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam.

The pitch at Visakhapatnam is expected to favor batters, with good stroke-making opportunities once the early swing from humidity settles. While Indian bowlers exploited conditions well in the first game, Sri Lanka’s batting woes—including three avoidable run-outs—will need urgent correction if they hope to challenge the hosts.

Weather conditions for Tuesday’s evening match are expected to be ideal, with clear skies, temperatures ranging between 21°C and 25°C, moderate 13 kmph winds, and humidity around 55%. This ensures an uninterrupted game for fans both at the stadium and watching live on Star Sports Network and Jio Hotstar.

India’s probable XI includes S. Verma, S. Mandhana, H. Kaur (c), J. Rodrigues, R. Ghosh (wk), D. Sharma, A. Kaur, V. Sharma, A. Reddy, K. Gaud, and S. Charani. Jemimah Rodrigues, who has been in fine form, remains the key player, while Kranti Gaud leads India’s young but effective bowling attack. Sri Lanka will rely on Chamari Athapaththu and Inoka Ranaweera to anchor their batting and bowling efforts.

Given India’s consistent home performances and superior overall squad depth, analysts predict a second consecutive win for the hosts. Unless Sri Lanka significantly improves their batting discipline and handles pressure better, India Women are expected to dominate the second T20I as well.
