SL-W vs ENG-W Match Analysis
The 12th Match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will take place between Sri Lanka Women and England Women at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, on October 11, 2025. The match will begin at 10:00 AM local time, with a humid Colombo morning likely to test both batters’ patience and bowlers’ stamina.
Sri Lanka Women enter this clash looking to bounce back from an early defeat against India. Their batting lineup has shown glimpses of promise, but inconsistency remains a major concern. With Chamari Athapaththu leading from the front, the islanders will hope to channel their home advantage into a spirited performance against a top-tier side.
England Women, on the other hand, have been in commanding form, displaying the perfect balance between experience and tactical maturity. Their middle order has fired in unison, backed by a disciplined bowling unit. With Nat Sciver-Brunt at the helm, England look every bit a title contender in this edition of the Women’s World Cup.
Sri Lanka Women vs England Women Team Preview & Squads
Sri Lanka Women
Chamari Athapaththu, Sri Lanka’s talismanic skipper, remains the heartbeat of the team. Her explosive batting at the top and fearless leadership have inspired many of Sri Lanka’s biggest wins in recent years.
SL batting largely revolves around Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama, with occasional support from Hasini Perera and Anushka Sanjeewani. The middle order has potential but struggles against high-quality pace attacks.
The bowling unit led by Inoka Ranaweera and Udeshika Prabodhani is capable of exploiting home conditions effectively. Their spinners, especially Ranaweera and Sugandika Kumari, can choke runs in the middle overs.
In their last match against India Women at Guwahati, SL fell short chasing a challenging target. India scored 269/8 in 47 overs, setting a steep total on a slow pitch. Sri Lanka managed 211 in 45.4 overs, losing by 59 runs (DLS method).

England Women
Nat Sciver-Brunt continues to impress both as a captain and an all-rounder. Her ability to read match situations, balance aggression with calm leadership, and contribute in all departments makes her invaluable. Under her captaincy, England looks both disciplined and dangerous.
ENG batting order is rich with experience and power. Tammy Beaumont and Heather Knight provide stability at the top, while Sciver-Brunt, Danni Wyatt-Hodge, and Alice Capsey bring the firepower in the middle overs. With Amy Jones handling the finishing role, this lineup is equipped to chase or set targets effectively.
Sophie Ecclestone remains England’s trump card, backed by Sarah Glenn and Charlie Dean in the spin department. The pace duo of Lauren Bell and Lauren Filer adds the cutting edge in the powerplay overs. This balanced attack gives England a lethal mix of control, swing, and variation across all conditions.
In their last encounter against Bangladesh Women at Guwahati, ENG maintained their winning rhythm. Bangladesh were bowled out for 178, thanks to a clinical bowling performance from Ecclestone and Glenn. England chased down the target with 182/6 in 46.1 overs, winning by 4 wickets with 23 balls remaining.

The Colombo pitch is known for its dry surface and gradual turn as the game progresses. Batters can find runs early on if they play through the line, but spinners will dominate once the ball gets older. Expect a first-innings score around 230–250 to be competitive.
The weather conditions in Colombo on match day are expected to be hot and humid, with temperatures ranging between 30–33°C. There’s a moderate chance of afternoon showers, which might prompt captains to chase under lights to avoid DLS complications.
