Sri Lanka Women vs Pakistan Women Team Preview & Squads
Sri Lanka Women
Chamari Athapaththu continues to be Sri Lanka’s heartbeat, an explosive opener, a shrewd leader, and an inspiration to her teammates. Her aggressive intent up front often sets the tone for the innings, and her tactical nous in field settings makes her invaluable.
SL batting is built around Athapaththu, Harshitha Samarawickrama, and Vishmi Gunaratne, with steady support from Kavisha Dilhari. Their middle order has added resilience, often converting shaky starts into defendable totals.
The bowling department has quietly impressed, led by left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera and seamer Udeshika Prabodhani. Their variety in spin especially from Sugandika Kumari and Dilhari, gives the attack an edge on slower Colombo pitches.
In their last match, SL Women defeated Bangladesh Women by 7 runs in a tense finish at Navi Mumbai. Defending a modest total of 202, their bowlers showed tremendous character under pressure. Inoka Ranaweera’s control and Chamari’s leadership ensured Bangladesh couldn’t cross the line despite a late surge.

Pakistan Women
Fatima Sana, Pakistan’s young captain, continues to learn fast in international cricket’s toughest classrooms. A bowling allrounder by trade, she brings energy, aggression, and intent to her leadership.
PAK batting revolves around the experienced pair of Sidra Amin and Muneeba Ali at the top. Eyman Fatima’s stroke play and Aliya Riaz’s finishing ability add dynamism, but collapses have hurt their campaign. Finding stability in the middle overs remains a pressing need for the team.
Bowling has been Pakistan’s comparative strength, anchored by spinners Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal, supported by Fatima Sana and Diana Baig. However, their lines and lengths faltered in the last outing against South Africa.
PAK Women faced a heavy defeat against South Africa Women in Colombo. The Proteas smashed 312/9 in a 40-over game before rain forced a DLS-adjusted chase of 234 in 20 overs. Pakistan’s batters could only manage 83/7, collapsing under scoreboard pressure.

SL-W vs PAK-W Outfield Report
R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo
The Colombo surface is traditionally slow and assists spin, especially in the second innings. Batting early with hard hands can bring trouble, but those who rotate strike and sweep smartly usually thrive. Expect moderate scores with turn and grip for the spinners.
Weather forecasts predict partly cloudy skies with temperatures hovering around 30–32°C and humidity close to 70%. Dew could play a factor in the evening, especially if the match extends deep. Teams winning the toss might prefer to bat first and let spinners dominate under the sun.
Historically, first-innings scores at this venue hover around 210–230 in women’s ODIs. Anything beyond 240 is considered competitive, while chasing under lights can be tricky. On slower tracks, defending even 200 has been possible with disciplined spin.
