Dubai international cricket stadium pitch report for IND vs SL clash in Women's T20 World Cup 2024

India are set to lock horns against Sri Lanka in the ongoing Women's T20 World Cup. It is a do-or-die clash for both teams with India losing to New Zealand in their tournament opener while Sri Lanka have lost both their matches so far. India registered their first win of the tournament with a win over arch-rivals Pakistan but they will have to beat Sri Lanka to stay alive in the tournament.

As for Sri Lanka, even a win in this encounter will not guarantee a place for them in the semifinal as they will be dependent on a few other results and should also beat New Zealand in their final league stage game. The clash will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai from 7:30 PM IST.
