The rivalry between the India Women’s National Cricket Team and Sri Lanka Women has produced a strong statistical record for India across international cricket. The two sides have met regularly in One Day Internationals and Twenty20 Internationals, with India recording substantially more victories in both formats. Their encounters have taken place in bilateral series, the Women’s Asia Cup, the Women’s T20 World Cup, Asian Games competition and other major international events.
India have particularly dominated the ODI format, winning 32 of the 36 matches recorded in the historical head to head record, while Sri Lanka have won three and one match has ended without a result. In T20Is, India have also maintained a significant advantage. The latest progressive record shows 33 T20I meetings, with India winning 27, Sri Lanka winning five and one ending without a result.
Recent meetings have added important chapters to the rivalry. India defeated Sri Lanka in the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup final by 72 runs after scoring 183 for five and restricting Sri Lanka to 111. India then defeated Sri Lanka by 147 runs in the 2026 Asian Games final, scoring 216 for three before bowling Sri Lanka out for 69.
The following India Women’s National Cricket Team Vs Sri Lanka Women stats examine their head to head record, major results, individual performances and important numbers across the main international formats.
ODI Head to Head Record
India have enjoyed a substantial advantage over Sri Lanka in women’s ODI cricket. The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians records 36 ODI meetings between the teams from December 1997 through September 2025. India have won 32, Sri Lanka have won three and one match has ended without a result.
| ODI Statistic | India Women | Sri Lanka Women |
|---|---|---|
| Matches Played | 36 | 36 |
| Wins | 32 | 3 |
| Losses | 3 | 32 |
| No Result | 1 | 1 |
| Ties | 0 | 0 |
India’s dominance is also reflected in their batting records. Their highest team total against Sri Lanka is 342 for seven, scored at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo during the 2024 to 2025 season. India have also produced several large partnerships against Sri Lanka, including a 174 run opening partnership between Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma at Pallekele in 2022.
Sri Lanka’s three ODI victories demonstrate that they have been capable of challenging India when their batting has produced substantial totals. Their highest successful performances against India include matches in which their batting line up successfully handled India’s bowling attack and built competitive totals.
The ODI rivalry therefore remains statistically one sided, but the individual matches have occasionally produced significant contests, particularly when Sri Lanka have been able to establish strong batting platforms.
T20 International Head to Head Record
India have also dominated Sri Lanka in T20 international cricket. The latest progressive record through September 22, 2026 lists 33 meetings. India have won 27 matches, Sri Lanka have won five and one has ended without a result.
| T20I Statistic | India Women | Sri Lanka Women |
|---|---|---|
| Matches Played | 33 | 33 |
| Wins | 27 | 5 |
| Losses | 5 | 27 |
| No Result | 1 | 1 |
| Ties | 0 | 0 |
India’s batting record in this format includes a highest team total of 221 for two, scored against Sri Lanka at Greenfield Stadium in December 2025. Smriti Mandhana scored 80 in that match, while Shafali Verma contributed 79. Their 162 run opening partnership remains the highest opening partnership between the teams in T20Is.
India’s bowling statistics are equally strong. Deepti Sharma has taken 27 wickets against Sri Lanka in T20Is, the highest individual wicket tally in this head to head record. Sri Lanka’s leading wicket taker against India is Udeshika Prabodhani, who has taken 18 wickets.
The T20I numbers demonstrate India’s consistency over a long period. Sri Lanka have won five matches, but India have won more than five times as many encounters.
Major Tournament Meetings
India and Sri Lanka have faced each other in several major tournaments, including the Women’s T20 World Cup and Women’s Asia Cup. Their tournament meetings have generally favored India, although Sri Lanka have recorded important victories.
In the Women’s T20 World Cup, the teams have met six times. India have won five matches and Sri Lanka have won one. Their World Cup meetings date back to the inaugural tournament in 2009.
| Tournament | Matches | India Wins | Sri Lanka Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Women’s T20 World Cup | 6 | 5 | 1 |
| Women’s Asia Cup | Multiple | India have won most recent final | Sri Lanka won 2024 final |
| Asian Games | Multiple | India won 2026 final | Sri Lanka lost 2026 final |
One of Sri Lanka’s most important recent victories over India came in the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup final. Sri Lanka chased India’s 165 for six and reached 167 for eight to win the final by eight wickets. That victory gave Sri Lanka their first Women’s Asia Cup title. India later responded by defeating Sri Lanka in the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup final.
In the 2026 final, India scored 183 for five, with Shafali Verma making 68 and Smriti Mandhana scoring 59. Sri Lanka were then restricted to 111, giving India a 72 run victory and another Asia Cup title.
Recent India Women vs Sri Lanka Women Results
Recent results demonstrate India’s continued advantage while also showing the significance of Sri Lanka’s tournament victories. The two teams have played several matches across 2025 and 2026.
| Year | Competition | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | Asian Games Final | India won by 147 runs |
| 2026 | Women’s Asia Cup Final | India won by 72 runs |
| 2025 | T20I Series | India won 5 match series |
| 2025 | ODI | India won major bilateral meetings |
| 2024 | Women’s Asia Cup Final | Sri Lanka won by 8 wickets |
| 2024 | Women’s T20 World Cup | India won |
| 2023 | Asian Games Final | India won |
The 2026 Asian Games final was one of India’s most dominant recent performances against Sri Lanka. India posted 216 for three, led by Smriti Mandhana’s 79 and Shafali Verma’s 48. Richa Ghosh then added an unbeaten 49 from 22 balls. Sri Lanka were bowled out for only 69 in 15.4 overs, giving India a 147 run victory.
The result was particularly notable because it followed India’s 72 run victory over Sri Lanka in the Women’s Asia Cup final only nine days earlier. India therefore defeated Sri Lanka in two major tournament finals during September 2026.
Major Batting and Bowling Performances
Several players have established themselves as important figures in the India Sri Lanka rivalry. Smriti Mandhana is India’s leading T20I run scorer against Sri Lanka in the available progressive records, with 687 runs from 27 matches. Deepti Sharma leads India’s T20I wicket charts against Sri Lanka with 27 wickets.
For Sri Lanka, Chamari Athapaththu has been one of the most important batters in the rivalry. The ODI record shows her with 507 runs from 19 innings against India, including a highest score of 115. Her ability to produce substantial innings has been particularly important in Sri Lanka’s successful ODI contests.
Harshitha Madavi and other Sri Lankan batters have also contributed in recent matches, while India’s bowling attack has regularly applied pressure through spin and pace.
The 2026 Asia Cup final demonstrated the importance of India’s top order. Shafali Verma scored 68 and Smriti Mandhana made 59 as India reached 183 for five. India’s spinners then restricted Sri Lanka to 111.
The Asian Games final later in September produced another strong batting performance. Mandhana scored 79, Verma made 48 and Richa Ghosh finished with an unbeaten 49 from 22 balls. India subsequently dismissed Sri Lanka for 69.
Overall Statistical Comparison
The overall format wise numbers show a significant advantage for India. Their record against Sri Lanka is particularly strong in ODI cricket, where they have won 32 of the 36 recorded meetings. Their T20I record is also heavily in their favor, with 27 wins from 33 matches.
| Format | Matches | India Wins | Sri Lanka Wins | No Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tests | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| ODIs | 36 | 32 | 3 | 1 |
| T20Is | 33 | 27 | 5 | 1 |
India and Sri Lanka have not played a women’s Test match. Their international rivalry has therefore been concentrated entirely in white ball cricket.
Across the recorded ODI and T20I head to head figures, the teams have played 69 matches. India have won 59, Sri Lanka have won eight and two have ended without a result. These figures combine the two format specific records.
The recent numbers strengthen India’s position in the rivalry. India won the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup final by 72 runs and the 2026 Asian Games final by 147 runs. Sri Lanka’s most notable recent exception remains their eight wicket victory over India in the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup final.
Conclusion
The India Women’s National Cricket Team Vs Sri Lanka Women stats show a rivalry in which India have maintained a substantial statistical advantage across both major white ball formats. India have won 32 of 36 recorded ODIs and 27 of 33 T20Is, while Sri Lanka have recorded three ODI victories and five T20I victories. Two matches have ended without a result across these records.
Recent meetings have reinforced India’s strong record. India won the 2026 Women’s Asia Cup final by 72 runs and followed it with a 147 run victory over Sri Lanka in the Asian Games final. However, Sri Lanka’s 2024 Asia Cup final victory remains an important reminder that the team can produce significant results against India in major competitions. The rivalry continues to provide valuable statistical milestones through performances from players such as Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma and Chamari Athapaththu.
