<p>Indian women&rsquo;s team will bank on its smooth-functioning batting line-up to ward off a tricky Sri Lanka and win the <a href="https://mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/clinical-india-down-south-africa-set-up-women-tri-nation-odi-series-final-with-sri-lanka-23537180" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>ODI tri-series final</strong></a> here on Sunday.</p>
<p>India&rsquo;s lone defeat in this event came against the Lankans but Harmanpreet Kaur&rsquo;s side has been the most dominant team, finishing at the top of the points table with three wins from four matches.</p>
<p>Sri Lanka finished second with two wins and as many losses while South Africa were at the bottom of the pile with only one win in four games.</p>
<p>Winning this contest will also be paramount for both India and Sri Lanka, as it would help them in the buildup to the ODI World Cup later this year.</p>
<p>The primary reason behind India&rsquo;s fine run in the tournament is their excellent batting effort. With 201 runs at an average of 67, including a century (123) against South Africa, Jemimah Rodrigues has been India&rsquo;s best batter here. Others like Pratika Rawal (164), Smriti Mandhana (148) and Deepti Sharma (126) have proved to be vital cogs with timely contributions.</p>
<p>Deepti&rsquo;s 93 consolidated India&rsquo;s position against SA in a league match but it was also symbolic of their lower-order stability.</p>
