Sri Lanka Women
Chamari Athapaththu leads SL with experience, flair, and unmatched batting aggression. Her ability to dominate bowlers at the top of the order makes her the team’s most valuable asset. As a captain, she brings energy and resilience, inspiring her side in crucial moments.
SL-W batting revolves around Athapaththu, supported by Harshitha Samarawickrama and Vishmi Gunaratne. Kavisha Dilhari and Imesha Dulani add youthful promise in the middle order. However, consistency remains a challenge, particularly against world-class bowling attacks.
The bowling unit features Inoka Ranaweera’s spin and Udeshika Prabodhani’s pace upfront. Sugandika Kumari and Achini Kulasuriya provide useful variations, giving balance to the attack. This combination allows Sri Lanka to exploit both pace-friendly and spin-friendly conditions.
Sri Lanka Women played Bangladesh Women in a warm-up at Colombo on September 27. Bangladesh scored 242/8 in 50 overs. Sri Lanka fell agonizingly short, finishing at 241 in their chase. Despite losing by just 1 run, Athapaththu’s side showed fighting spirit but will be concerned about their middle-order collapse.
