Early Encounters and Foundation of Rivalry
India women’s national cricket team vs sri lanka women rivalry began in the late 1990s when both teams started to meet regularly in ICC tournaments. In this period India Women were way ahead in gaining experience, playing better cricket and having a more structured domestic set-up.
With a heavy batting line up, India never let Sri Lanka do much with the ball in hand. Dedicated players like Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami enabled India to have a firm hold on the game. But in order for Sri Lanka to remain competitive, the backroom staff spent time nurturing and honing key players who would later go on to win numerous matches.
