(Last 10 match)

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati generally provides a balanced surface that caters to both batters and bowlers. The pitch tends to start out firm with true bounce, allowing batters to play their shots freely, especially during the first half of the innings. As the game progresses, spinners are expected to get some assistance with grip and turn, while seamers who rely on variations can also find success in the latter overs. With a quick outfield on offer, teams batting first will target a score in the range of 250–270 runs, but chasing has also been successful here when wickets are preserved.

Conclusion

The IND-W vs SL-W Live Score will showcase a battle where India Women enter as clear favorites, but Sri Lanka Women are known to surprise opponents with their fighting spirit. India’s balance and depth give them a strong advantage, but the pressure of a World Cup opener can test even the best teams. Sri Lanka will focus on building partnerships and applying pressure through disciplined bowling, while India will look to dominate with their batting firepower and all-round versatility. Whichever side handles the pressure better and executes their plans with precision is likely to walk away with victory in this high-stakes encounter.
