SL-W vs PAK-W Head to Head Record

Pakistan Women hold a narrow 6-4 lead over Sri Lanka Women across their last 10 T20I meetings. But Sri Lanka have won the matches that matter most lately, including three straight Asia Cup semi finals and both games in this series. The head to head numbers are close, but Sri Lanka have had the better of Pakistan every time it’s counted in the last few years.

Squads

Sri Lanka Women: Chamari Athapaththu captains the side and has been in outstanding form with the bat throughout this tour. Two players have stood out this series, 17 year old Sanjana Kavindi, who scored a half century on debut, and 17 year old spinner Chamudi Praboda, who took her best figures in just her second international. Full squad: Chamari Athapaththu (c), Vishmi Gunaratne, Imesha Dulani, Kaushani Nuthyangana (wk), Hasini Perera, Sanjana Kavindi, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Rashmika Sewwandi, Kawya Kavindi, Chamudi Praboda, Sugandika Kumari, Nimasha Madushani, Malki Madara.

Pakistan Women: Muneeba Ali captains the T20I side. Regular captain Fatima Sana is not part of this leg, having left for England to play in The Hundred, so she’s unavailable for the whole T20I series. Shawaal Zulfiqar has been Pakistan’s best batter this series, scoring 48 in the second T20I. Full squad: Muneeba Ali (c, wk), Ayesha Zafar, Eman Naseer, Eyman Fatima, Humna Bilal, Maham Anees, Momina Riasat, Najiha Alvi, Nashra Sundhu, Saira Jabeen, Shawaal Zulfiqar, Tasmia Rubab, Tuba Hassan, Umm-e-Hani, Waheeda Akhtar.

Pitch Report

Rangiri Dambulla has favoured the team batting first this season, with the side setting a total winning 65 percent of matches across the last 20 games. That said, Sri Lanka have chased down big totals twice already in this series, so batting first is no guarantee. The average first innings score is 137 against 115 in the second innings. Pace bowlers have taken a few more wickets than spin recently, so both attacks should stay involved.

Weather Report

Tuesday morning in Dambulla could see a shower. Forecasts range from around 25 percent to as high as 62 percent depending on the source, with warm, humid conditions and a temperature near 85°F (29°C). Check the toss before locking your team in case the start is delayed or the overs get cut.

Probable Playing XIs

Sri Lanka Women (Probable): Chamari Athapaththu (c), Vishmi Gunaratne, Imesha Dulani, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kaushani Nuthyangana (wk), Sanjana Kavindi, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Rashmika Sewwandi, Sugandika Kumari, Chamudi Praboda.

Pakistan Women (Probable): Muneeba Ali (c, wk), Shawaal Zulfiqar, Ayesha Zafar, Eyman Fatima, Najiha Alvi, Humna Bilal, Tasmia Rubab, Nashra Sundhu, Tuba Hassan, Saira Jabeen, Umm-e-Hani.

These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss.

Key Player Battles

Chamari Athapaththu vs Nashra Sundhu: Athapaththu is the danger at the top for Sri Lanka. Sundhu’s left arm spin is Pakistan’s best chance of getting her out early.

Sanjana Kavindi vs Umm-e-Hani: Kavindi impressed on debut. Umm-e-Hani was Pakistan’s best bowler in the last match with two wickets. This is a fresh battle worth watching.

Muneeba Ali vs Sugandika Kumari: Muneeba has scored well at the top of the order all series. Kumari’s left arm spin will test her in the middle overs.

Athapaththu is captain because she’s been the best player in this series by a distance. Muneeba is vice captain as Pakistan’s captain, keeper and best batter. The rest of the team is built around Sri Lanka’s batting depth plus the spinners from both sides, who should get plenty of work at this ground.

For grand leagues, try Kavindi as captain. She just scored a half century on debut and won’t be as heavily picked as Athapaththu. Zulfiqar as vice captain has been Pakistan’s most consistent batter this series. Chamudi Praboda and Umm-e-Hani are cheap bowling picks who could still take wickets.

Match Prediction

Sri Lanka Women have won every part of this tour so far, they have the best player on either side in Chamari Athapaththu, and two teenagers in Kavindi and Praboda have added extra depth just as the series has gone on. Pakistan Women need a big performance from someone other than their top order to avoid a clean sweep. Sri Lanka are the clear pick to finish the series 3-0.
