India women will open their women's Asia Cup campaign against Sri Lanka women. India women have been on a roll and recently clean-swept England women in the ODI series. However, they lost the preceding T20I series 2-1. India women are one of the best teams in T20Is and also reached the final of the Commonwealth Games.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka women will have to punch above their weight to beat India women. Their last appearance came in the Commonwealth Games but they failed to win even a single game.
The surface will be low and slow. The spinners are going to be the main threat. Runs with the new ball will be crucial for the batting teams. Chasing will be slightly difficult.
There is 60 per cent rain predicted on the match day. The humidity will be 73 per cent while the temperature will range between 36 and 26 degrees.

Smriti Mandhana is one of the best players in this format of the game. She is India's highest run-getter in this format with 1888 runs in 66 games at an average of 32. She was also in top form in the T20I series against England women and was India’s top scorer.
The Indian skipper is another top gun in shorter formats. Harmanpreet had a great series against England women and scored a century in the ODI series. She was also the leading run scorer in the ODIs with 221 runs in 3 games. Overall, in T20Is, she has scored 1305 runs for India in 57 innings.
Shafali Verma can also be a good pick as she is a naturally aggressive batter and any given day she stays at the wicket for long, she will get plenty of runs. The Sri Lanka team doesn't have a strong bowling attack thus there is a good chance of her scoring big.
She is Sri Lanka women's leading run scorer in T20Is and a lot will rest on her performance. She has scored 1047 runs in 39 games.
Renuka Singh Thakur has been a great fine for India. The pacer can swing the ball both ways and has troubled the best batters in her short career. Her spell against Australia where she rattled the top order in Commonwealth Games was enough to prove that she is a star in the making.
