Pakistan Women vs Sri Lanka Women

Pakistan Women (Match Odds – 1.40):

Preview:

Bismah Maroof will be optimistic about her team’s chances in this game. They easily defeated Sri Lanka in their previous match and will look to capitalize on this momentum. The bowling attack has been in good form in this tournament, and Maroof must capitalize on that to win this game.

Muneeba Ali and Sidra Ameen will look to put the side in a comfortable position by putting on a big opening wicket stand. Maroof strengthens the middle order and would look to add quick runs with Omaima Sohail and Nida Dar. Aliya Riaz and Ayesha Naseem bolster the batting depth of the team.

The bowling attack troubled the Sri Lankans in the previous game, and the new ball pair of Sadia Iqbal and Aiman Anwer will look to replicate that performance in the game. Omaima Sohail will be confident after her 5-wicket haul, and the team will be looking up to her. Tuba Hassan and Nida Dar provide a potent bowling attack.

Sri Lanka Women (Match Odds – 2.95):

Preview:

Chamari Athapaththu will look to put the recent loss to Pakistan behind him. We’ve seen this script before when a team’s batting collapsed in big games. Athapaththu enjoys leading the side in front, and she must inspire confidence and reach the final for the first time since 2008.

Harshitha Madavi has been in good form and will need to set up a big opening wicket stand with Chamari Athapaththu. The rest of the batting lineup has struggled, and they will need runs from Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, and Anushka Sanjeewani to win this game. In the lower middle order, Malsha Shehani and Oshadi Ranasinghe must add quick runs.

For the team to be in a comfortable position in this game, Oshadi Ranasinghe and Sugandika Kumari must deliver early blows. Achini Kulasuriya has caused problems for Pakistanis in the past, and the same is expected of her in this game. As the Pakistanis have depth in their batting, Inoka Ranaweera, Kavisha Dilhari, and Athapaththu must contribute with tight spells.

Full Squad:

Chamari Athapaththu(c), Harshitha Madavi, Hasini Perera, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Anushka Sanjeewani(w), Malsha Shehani, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Sugandika Kumari, Inoka Ranaweera, Achini Kulasuriya, Tharika Sewwandi, Madushika Methtananda, Rashmi Silva, Kaushani Nuthyangana

Possible Playing XI:

Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Madavi, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Hasini Perera, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Malsha Shehani, Inoka Ranaweera, Sugandika Kumari, Achini Kulasuriya

International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet It isn’t your typical high-scoring T20 venue, but it is one of the few in the subcontinent with a lot to offer bowlers. The cool weather conditions make batting difficult, especially in the first innings. Fast bowlers on both sides should have a good time on this pitch.

On October 13, Sylhet will see overcast skies, which will make it difficult to bat with bowlers getting to move the ball. While the outfield is quick, the two-paced wicket makes batting difficult. We’ve seen low-scoring games in the past, and a total of 150 would be a good total on the board.
