Who Will Win IND-W vs SA-W Today’s Match?

India Women are the favourites to win the 5th ODI of the Sri Lanka Tri-Nation Series 2025, considering their well-rounded and star-studded squad. Their bowling attack is particularly strong, featuring several skilled spinners, while their batters have shown good form recently. This combination gives them a clear advantage over the Proteas Women. Additionally, India holds a dominant record against South Africa in previous encounters, especially in the subcontinental conditions, which further boosts their confidence.
The conditions in Colombo are known to favour spin bowling, and India has experts like Sneh Rana who are well-suited to these pitches. South Africa will need to play better and adapt quickly to avoid getting into trouble against India’s spin-heavy attack.
That said, South Africa has a match winner in Laura Wolvaardt. If she leads from the front with a strong innings, her team could challenge India. Still, based on current form, conditions, and past performances, India Women remain strong contenders to win this match.
