Harmanpreet Kaur’s India lost their first toss of the tour and Chamari Athapaththu’s Sri Lanka had no hesitation in batting first. With the series already in the bag, India made two changes to the side for the 4th T20I: Jemimah Rodrigues is out due to fever while Kranti Gaud has been rested. In their place come Harleen Deol and Arundhati Reddy.
Shafali Verma has been in a superb knock in the series, and she was well complimented with the bowlers early on. In the third T20I, Harmanpreet Kaur too chipped in with a cameo, getting amongst the runs. With the ball, Renuka Singh Thakur was the pick of the bowlers in the previous T20I.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will seek to salvage something out of the series by winning at least one of the two remaining games. Though they have given glimpses of what they can do in the series from time to time, they have not delivered something substantial in the series.

India heads into the fourth T20I against Sri Lanka on Sunday with a commanding 3-0 series lead, aiming to extend their total dominance over the visitors. Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian side has comfortably swept the series so far, largely due to a potent bowling attack featuring standouts like Deepti Sharma and Renuka Singh, who have consistently restricted Sri Lanka to low totals. This bowling efficiency has allowed the Indian batters to chase down targets with ease, never losing more than three wickets or needing more than 15 overs to secure a win, leaving the outmatched Sri Lankan team struggling to find a way to compete.
