India and Sri Lanka are all set to go head-to-head in a crucial Group A encounter at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India lost their opening encounter against New Zealand but came back strongly against Pakistan while Sri Lanka are on the brink of elimination after losses in their initial two matches. Only two teams out of five will advance into the semis from the group, so both teams need to win this game to keep their hopes alive.

Also, it is India's third consecutive game at this venue while Sri Lanka played their first two games at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The batting has been a problem for both the teams in this World Cup as the pitches have been slow and low, and it would be interesting to see how things shape up in this encounter.

So, India have surely enjoyed an upper hand over their neighbours and have a stronger team on paper as well. They have plenty of superstars in their line-up and have depth in the batting and bowling department. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, rely heavily on their skipper Chamari Athapaththu and if she doesn't fire, the Island country often finds itself in trouble.

Athapaththu has not scored runs so far, and she needs to get going against India if they want to keep Harmanpreet Kaur and company in check. It is a pressure game, and let's see how both teams go about their business.
