Sri Lanka Women enter the World Cup with renewed confidence under Chamari Athapaththu’s fearless leadership. They have shown promise in patches, especially with their top-order batting, but consistency remains their key challenge.

Sri Lanka Women vs Australia Women Team Preview & Squads

 

Sri Lanka Women

 

Chamari Athapaththu, the inspirational leader of SL women, is known for her aggressive batting style and ability to take on the world’s best bowlers. She brings both experience and flair to the team’s top order. 

 

Sri Lanka’s batting revolves heavily around Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama. While Kavisha Dilhari and Vishmi Gunaratne provide support, the middle order has often struggled for stability. They will need partnerships to counter Australia’s strong bowling attack.

 

SL bowling is spearheaded by experienced campaigners like Inoka Ranaweera and Udeshika Prabodhani. The spin options of Sugandika Kumari and Achini Kulasuriya add variety in subcontinental conditions. However, controlling Australia’s aggressive batting lineup will be a massive test.

 

In their opening game, Sri Lanka Women faced India Women at Guwahati on September 30, 2025. Batting second, they were set a revised target of 271 in 47 overs after India posted 269/8. Despite a promising start, Sri Lanka were bundled out for 211 in 45.4 overs. India Women won the contest by 59 runs (DLS method), leaving Sri Lanka searching for their first points in the tournament.

Australia Women

 

Alyssa Healy leads Australian Women with both the bat and behind the stumps. Known for her explosive starts as an opener, she can shift the momentum of the game in the first few overs. Her leadership blends aggression with tactical sharpness, making her a vital figure.

 

AUS batting is stacked with world-class performers like Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, and Phoebe Litchfield. Their middle order, featuring Ashleigh Gardner and Tahlia McGrath, provides both stability and power hitting. This depth ensures they can post or chase down big totals consistently.

 

The pace trio of Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown, and Kim Garth offers Australia early breakthroughs. Their spin department, led by Alana King, Georgia Wareham, and Sophie Molineux, adds balance to the attack. The combination of pace and spin makes them highly adaptable to any condition.

 

AUS Women dominated their opening clash against New Zealand Women at Indore on October 1, 2025. They piled up a massive 326 runs, showcasing their batting might. In reply, New Zealand folded for 237 in 43.2 overs, giving Australia a comprehensive 89-run victory. The win reaffirmed their status as strong tournament favorites.

SL-W vs AUS-W Outfield Report

 

The Colombo pitch is traditionally known for assisting spinners while offering decent batting opportunities once settled. Fast bowlers may get early movement, but spinners are expected to dictate terms as the game progresses. Batting first and putting up a strong total could be crucial.

 

Weather conditions are expected to be sunny and humid around 31°C. There is little chance of rain, ensuring a full 50-over contest. Players will need to manage the heat and humidity to avoid fatigue.

 

Historically, Colombo pitches have produced totals ranging from 220–280 in women’s ODIs. A score above 270 batting first can be considered competitive, while chasing anything under 240 is achievable with calculated batting.
