India Women vs Sri Lanka Women Match Prediction: Who Will Win 1st Match of Women’s World Cup 2025?
India Women face Sri Lanka in Guwahati on Sept 30 to open the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, with both teams chasing momentum.
The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 kicks off on September 30 with India facing Sri Lanka in the opening match at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
India, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, will look to begin strongly at home and set the tone for the tournament. They had mixed results in the warm-up games, suffering a heavy 153-run defeat to England before bouncing back with a four-wicket win against New Zealand. The team will hope that victory gives them momentum heading into the opener.
Sri Lanka, captained by Chamari Athapaththu, had a less than ideal build-up. Their warm-up clash against Pakistan was washed out, while they lost narrowly to Bangladesh. They will aim to put those setbacks behind them and start afresh against the hosts.

IND-W vs SL-W Pitch Report for 1st Match of Women’s World Cup, 2025 at Baraspara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is known for its batting-friendly nature, with good bounce and carry that lets batters play freely, especially early on. Fast bowlers can get some help with the new ball, but as the game moves forward, the pitch slows a touch to bring spinners into the contest. Even so, it stays a surface where runs are never too far away.
