The Assam Cricket Association Stadium will host the opening match of the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup, with India set to take on Sri Lanka on Tuesday afternoon. Both the Women in Blue and the Sri Lankans are hoping to win their first World Cup title this year. Let’s get into the match prediction.
India qualified for this competition as tournament hosts and will be hoping for a better run than in the last edition in Australia, where they failed to get beyond the group stage.
The Women in Blue had a mixed record leading up to this competition, beating England 2-1 in a three-match ODI series in July before losing their three-match series against the Aussies 2-1 this month.
India were then defeated by England in their first World Cup warm-up match before beating New Zealand by four wickets on Saturday evening.
Meanwhile, after failing to qualify for the 2022 edition, Sri Lanka are back in the World Cup this year for their seventh appearance, though they have only got to the knockout stages twice.
They’ve not had the best prep for the competition, with their first warm-up match against Pakistan being washed out before suffering defeat by one run against Bangladesh this past weekend.
These sides faced off in a one-off ODI series along with South Africa in May, and Sri Lanka lost to India by 97 runs in the final.

Our India vs Sri Lanka Prediction
While many are expecting powerhouses Australia and England to be the frontrunners for the title again this year, India cannot be written off without a chance, especially given that they have home advantage.
Sri Lanka are back in the World Cup after missing out in 2022, but they were beaten by this opponent fairly comprehensively in their last meeting, and we feel they may struggle to get the better of them in this one. Our India vs Sri Lanka prediction is India wins the match.
