Series Sweep Secured With 15‑Run Victory India clinched the final match of the five‑game series in Thiruvananthapuram on December 30, 2025, posting 175/7 and bowling Sri Lanka out for 160/7, a 15‑run win that completed a 5‑0 whitewash [1]. The series, which began with India leading 3‑0, saw the hosts dominate every chase, never needing more than 14.4 overs to reach the target [3]. India’s bowlers consistently exploited early toss decisions to field first, a strategy that proved decisive throughout the tour [3].

Harmanpreet Kaur’s Anchor Knock Stabilizes Middle Order Entering at 27/2, Harmanpreet Kaur crafted a composed 68 off 43 balls, striking nine fours and a six to steady the innings [1]. She forged a 61‑run partnership with Amanjot Kaur for the sixth wicket, after which Sneh Rana and Arundhati Reddy added an unbeaten 33 for the eighth wicket [1]. The innings anchored India’s total and set the platform for the successful chase.

Deepti Sharma Surpasses Schutt to Lead T20I Wicket‑Takers Deepti Sharma claimed her 152nd T20I wicket in the final, overtaking Australia’s Megan Schutt as the all‑time leading wicket‑taker in women’s T20Is [1]. She had already taken four wickets across the first two matches of the series, complementing Renuka Singh’s four‑wicket haul on December 26 [3].
