INDW vs SLW Playing XI Prediction: In their third match of the T20 World Cup, the Indian women's cricket team will face Sri Lanka on Wednesday (October 9). This match will be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Team India needs to win this match by a big margin to qualify for the semi-finals.

The Indian women's cricket team led by Harmanpreet Kaur had a very bad start. In the first match against New Zealand, it had to face defeat by 58 runs. However, the Indian team made a comeback in the second match and defeated arch-rival Pakistan by six wickets. However, the team failed to improve its net run rate (NRR).

Will the Indian team play without Harmanpreet Kaur?

The suspense continues over captain Harmanpreet Kaur's playing against Sri Lanka. She suffered a neck injury during the match against Pakistan. She left the field injured. After the match, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana also did not give any clear information about her injury.

In such a situation, if Harmanpreet is not declared fit, then Mandhana can lead the team in the match against Sri Lanka. In the absence of Harmanpreet Kaur, Dayalan Hemalatha will replace her and bat at number three. Due to this, Jemima Rodrigues may have to bat at number four once again.

There will be no change in the batting order of wicketkeeper-batsman Richa Ghosh and star all-rounder Deepti Sharma. Considering the conditions favorable to spin bowlers, Sajeevan Sajna can be selected once again. There is no change expected in the bowling unit, Renuka Thakur, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, and Asha Shobhana will shoulder the responsibility of bowling.

India Women Playing 11: Shefali Verma, Smriti Mandhana, Dayalan Hemalatha, Jemima Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma, Sajeevan Sajna, Renuka Thakur, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil and Asha Sobhana.
