India women cricket team will take on hosts Sri Lanka in the second ODI at the Pallekele International Stadium on Monday (July 4). Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian side have a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series after winning hard-fought first ODI by four wickets on Friday (July 1). The Indian side had earlier already won the T20 series 2-1 and a win on Monday will give them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series as well.

The all-round performance of Deepti Sharma and a valuable contribution with the bat by captain Harmanpreet Kaur (44 off 63 balls) helped India beat Sri Lanka by four wickets in the opening ODI of the three-match series on Friday. Deepti Sharma first produced a brilliant bowling display, taking three wickets by giving away only 25 runs in 8.2 overs before guiding India to a comprehensive victory with the bat (22 not out) in a low-scoring match.

Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat in the first ODI in Pallekele. It was the beginning of a new era for India – one without the great Mithali Raj in the team – with Harmanpreet Kaur beginning her innings as India’s full-time ODI captain.
