The lasses of the 2 neighbouring countries last met each other in the Women’s Asia Cup in June, which was comprehensively won by the Indians by 7 wickets. The Asia Cup is in fact the last time both teams played International cricket.
Since then both teams have gone through some major changes with new coaches being appointed. Former Indian Cricketer Ramesh Powar took over the Indian job while former Sri Lanka Women’s coach Harsha de Silva was reappointed to the position after Hemantha Devapriya stepped down after the Asia Cup defeat.

Sri Lanka will be desperate to do well in this series as it has been a while since they have tasted any kind of success in international cricket. On the other hand, the Indians will start as favourites despite losing the Asia Cup final to underdogs Bangladesh, which they started as favourites after beating World Champions England in a home ODI series in April.
