Wide Coverage for a High-Stakes ODI Women's Tri-Series
Cricket fans have a lot to look forward to as the India Women face off against Sri Lanka Women—with South Africa joining in—for a solid run in the crucial 2025 ODI Tri-Series. The series began on April 27 at Colombo’s iconic R Premadasa Stadium, a venue known for its electric atmosphere and unpredictable pitches. The first showdown between India and Sri Lanka got going at 10:00 AM IST, following a 9:30 AM toss, giving both teams a chance to size each other up in real time.
If you’re tuning in from India, you’ve got exclusive access to all matches via the FanCode app and website. Sri Lankan fans can catch the action on ThePapare 2 (for Dialog Television subscribers) or stream using the Dialog VIU App. Not in South Asia? No sweat—the Sri Lanka Cricket YouTube channel is airing every ball globally, so fans from the UK to the US can stay glued to the contest. This approach means you won’t need to scramble for oddball URLs or shady feeds—everything is out in the open, no blackout zones, and no one gets left out of the fun.
The tri-series isn’t just another set of fixtures. For India, this is a dress rehearsal for the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup, set for September. With the pressure dialed up, big names and fresh faces are both being tested. Expect lineups to shuffle as coaches try to lock in combinations and new talent makes its case for a World Cup ticket. The Sri Lankan side, playing at home, sees the tri-series as a golden chance to sharpen strategies and analyze what’s working—and what’s not—before the global test.
South Africa’s inclusion adds another layer to this already interesting mix. Their powerful lineup offers both India and Sri Lanka a different challenge. There's plenty to prove for all three squads, especially with every run and wicket dissected on social media and in newsrooms before the main event in September.
