India vs Sri Lanka Women's T20 World Cup, Live Streaming: Team India will be squaring off against Sri Lanka in a must-win match at the Women's T20 World Cup in Dubai on Wednesday.

It has not been smooth sailing for the Indians in the showpiece event so far, having lost to New Zealand by 58 runs in their tournament-opener and then scampering home in 18.5 overs against arch-rivals Pakistan while chasing a modest 105.

India's main problem in the tournament so far is the performance of their batters, especially the explosive opening combination of Shafali Verma and vice-captain Smriti Mandhana.

To make matters worse for India, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored 15 and 29 retired hurt, is doubtful for the match against Sri Lanka after suffering a neck injury while batting against Pakistan.

It will be a trial by fire for skipper Harmanpreet Kaur as India begin preparations for next year's World Cup with the three-match ODI series against New Zealand starting on Thursday, having recently endured another failure at claiming an ICC title. The series will be vital for Kaur who has faced flak for her captaincy during the recently-held T20 World Cup in the UAE, where India failed to clear the group stage even though the skipper emerged as the team's highest scorer in the tournament.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) announced the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Team of the Tournament on Monday and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur is the only player from India who was included in the side.

New Zealand scripted history on Sunday as they clinched the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 title. It was New Zealand's maiden T20 World Cup title, men's and women's both. The White Ferns thrashed South Africa by 32 runs in Dubai on Sunday. South Africa, playing their second successive final, sent New Zealand in to bat and the Sophie Devine-led side thrived under pressure to post an above par 158/5. Later, the Proteas were restricted to 126/9 and once again failed to clinch the title.

Harmanpreet Kaur To Lose India Captaincy After Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Debacle? Report Makes Big Claim

India failed to qualify for the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur has been facing a lot of criticism for the team's disappointing performance. India lost their matches against New Zealand and Australia to crash out of the competition and questions remain over whether Harmanpreet will retain her captaincy following the dismal run. According to a report by Indian Express, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is all set to take a call on whether the team needs a new captain. The report claimed that the BCCI will meet head coach Amol Muzumdar and the selection committee to discuss the future plan and whether Harmanpreet will continue as the captain of the side or not.

Mithali Raj's Bombshell On Harmanpreet Kaur-Led India's Women's T20 World Cup 2024 Exit, Says 'No Growth...'

Former India captain Mithali Raj on Tuesday attributed the national team's underwhelming performance in the Women's T20 World Cup to lack of growth across departments over the past three years. It was the first time under Harmanpreet Kaur's long captaincy tenure that India failed to qualify for the knockouts of the ICC showpiece, extending the team's title-less run in world events and putting serious question marks over her future as skipper. Speaking to PTI from Dubai, Mithali said the team's downfall was a result of not getting used to the conditions in the UAE quick enough, lack of role clarity in the batting department, untested bench strength, and below-par fielding.

"0 Experience": India Star's Cryptic Taunt After Harmanpreet Kaur-led Team's Loss vs Australia In T20 World Cup

Harmanpreet Kaur-led Indian cricket team's dreams of entering the Women's T20 World Cup semi-finals suffered a major blow when it lost to Australia in its final Grup A match. The loss means that India's fortunes are not in their own hands. Though India are sitting at the second spot in Group A behind Australia, with the top two teams advancing to the last four stage, third-placed New Zealand are firm favourites to beat Pakistan on Monday to enter the semi-finals. For India to qualify for semi-finals, Pakistan must beat New Zealand but not by a big margin as that would see the Fatima Sana-led side leap both teams to enter the next stage.
