The tour, which also features three more ODIs, holds special importance for the India women's cricket team as Harmanpreet Kaur & Co. set eyes on the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and the ICC Women's T20 World Cup later in the year.
Also, the tour is effectively the start of a new era for India after the retirement of the legendary Mithali Raj. India have also rested veteran pacer Jhulan
Goswami. So, the spotlight will be on skipper Harmanpreet and her deputy Smriti Mandhana. For Sri Lanka, skipper Chamari Athapaththu and veteran Oshadi Ranasinghe hold the key.
India women lead Sri Lanka 14-3 in the T20I head-to-head record. One match ended in no result. This will be their 19th meeting in the shortest format of the game.
