Who Will Win SL W vs SA W Today’s Match?

Sri Lanka Women are the favourites to win the 3rd ODI of the Sri Lanka Tri-Nation Series 2025, thanks to their experience on home soil. Their bowling attack looks particularly strong, with a number of quality spinners ready to exploit the conditions. The batting unit is also in good touch, giving them a definite edge.
While the Proteas Women have historically dominated Lanka Lionesses in head-to-head matches, the Colombo pitch is expected to assist spinners, a big plus for the home side, who have specialists like Inoka Ranaweera to make an impact. South Africa must bring their A-game to counter Sri Lanka’s spin-heavy attack. If they struggle to adapt, the pressure could mount quickly.
However, South Africa has a potential game-changer in Laura Wolvaardt. A captain’s knock from her could turn the tide and keep the match competitive. Still, with all factors considered, Sri Lankan women hold the upper hand in this contest.
