Harmanpreet gave all the credit to her bowlers for the series win. The India captain said the disciplined bowling effort, led by Renuka Singh Thakur and Deepti Sharma's seven combined wickets, set up their eight-wicket victory over Sri Lanka. The win at Greenfield International Stadium gave India an unassailable lead in the five-match T20I series. Opener Shafali Verma's unbeaten seventy-nine then chased down Sri Lanka's total of 112 with plenty of overs to spare.
Harmanpreet highlighted her team's focus on raising their standard aggressively ahead of next year's T20 World Cup. She praised Renuka's comeback after a tough first over, noting her crucial four wickets. Sri Lanka's captain Chamari Athapaththu acknowledged her team's batting struggles throughout the series. She pointed to positives like Imesha Dulani and Kavisha Dilhari's performances, but stressed the need for improvement before their upcoming bilateral series and the World Cup.
