SLW vs PAKW: Why Sri Lanka Women’s Start as Favourites
Sri Lanka Women will have the home advantage and the momentum with them in the game. They will walk into the ground with pure confidence; they have already claimed the series, winning the first two matches of the series.
Multiple in-form batters, including the skipper Chamari Athapaththu, Sanjana Kavindi, and Harshitha Samarawickrama, shape the Sri Lanka batting line-up strong enough to outplay the Pakistan bowling attack.
The order performed well so far for the Pakistan Women’s cricket team in the contest, but their bowlers are not up to the mark. In the final match too, they will have to depend on their batters like Muneeba Ali and Shawaal Zulfiqar.
Sri Lanka Women Predicted Playing XI: Imesha Dulani, Chamari Athapaththu(c), Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Hasini Perera(w), Sanjana Kavindi, Rashmika Sewwandi, Kawya Kavindi, Sugandika Kumari, Chamodi Praboda.
Pakistan Women Predicted Playing XI: Muneeba Ali (w/c), Shawaal Zulfiqar, Eman Naseer, Ayesha Zafar, Eyman Fatima, Saira Jabeen, Umm-e-Hani, Waheeda Akhtar, Nashra Sandhu, Tasmia Rubab, Momina Riasat.
Pakistan Women's tour of Sri Lanka, SLW vs PAKW Pitch Report: How the Venue Could Influence the Contest
Like traditional Sri Lankan grounds, Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium also offers a slow track, which mostly helps the spinners and the bowlers with pace variations. Batters can make runs if they can hold on the deck for their moments.
A first innings total around 150 will be enough to throw a challenge to the opposing team batters in the second innings. Here, teams preferred to bat second as there is a 72.2% win ratio for the batting second side.
