Sri Lanka Women arrive unbeaten through two matches and fresh off a 3-0 bilateral series sweep of this very opponent just weeks ago. Bangladesh Women are also unbeaten in the tournament, having demolished Indonesia in their opener, but their broader recent form outside that result has been shaky. Chamari Athapaththu captains a dominant Sri Lanka side that has won nine of the last 10 meetings between these two teams, making SL-W vs BAN-W Fantasy Team selection an interesting challenge for fantasy cricket players.

Recent Form
Sri Lanka Women have won four of their last five. They demolished Indonesia in their most recent Asia Cup outing, posting 124/7 and bowling Indonesia out for just 49, and beat UAE in their opener, chasing 80 to reach 80/1 in just 7.5 overs. Their only defeat in that stretch came in a tight bilateral match against Pakistan, though they won the other two matches of that same series comfortably.
Bangladesh Women have won just one of their last five, that win coming against Indonesia in the tournament opener, posting 129/8 and bowling Indonesia out for 58. Their build up to this tournament was difficult, with defeats to South Africa and India at the T20 World Cup, a win over Pakistan, and a loss to Australia. Most tellingly, Sri Lanka swept them 3-0 in a bilateral series shortly before this tournament, winning all three matches including a tense finish in the decider.
Points Table
Sri Lanka Women sit top of the group with two wins from two matches and a net run rate of plus 4.129. Bangladesh Women have one win from one match and a net run rate of plus 3.550. Both sides remain unbeaten in the tournament so far.
SL-W vs BAN-W Head to Head Record

Sri Lanka Women lead the head to head 9-1 over the last 10 meetings, and the recent trend has been entirely one sided. They won all three matches of a bilateral series against Bangladesh just weeks before this tournament, including a tense finish in the third match, defending 84 to win by three runs. Sri Lanka also won comfortably in both the 2024 Asia Cup and 2023 bilateral meetings.
SL-W vs BAN-W Squads
Sri Lanka Women: Chamari Athapaththu captains the side, one of the most destructive allrounders in the women’s game and the batter Sri Lanka’s chase depends on most. Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari add further batting depth, and Kaushani Nuthyangana keeps wicket.
The bowling has real variety, with Sugandika Kumari’s pace, Nilakshi de Silva’s allround skills and a spin group including Kawya Kavindi and Chamudi Praboda.
Full squad: Chamari Athapaththu (c), Kaushani Nuthyangana (wk), Imesha Dulani, Vishmi Gunaratne, Sanjana Kavindi, Hasini Perera, Harshitha Madavi Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Dewmi Vihanga, Sugandika Kumari, Chamudi Praboda, Chethana Vimukthi, Kawya Kavindi, Mithali Ayodhya.
Bangladesh Women: No squad has been shown separately for this fixture. Bangladesh’s recent squads have been built around a core of experienced batters and a varied bowling attack that produced a strong win over Indonesia in the tournament opener.
Pitch Report

Key Player Battles
Chamari Athapaththu vs Bangladesh’s bowling attack: Athapaththu has been in outstanding form recently, including in the bilateral sweep of Bangladesh just weeks ago, and stopping her early is essential for any Bangladesh chase.
Harshitha Samarawickrama vs Bangladesh’s middle overs bowling: Samarawickrama’s class against a Bangladesh attack that has struggled against stronger batting line ups this year.
Sugandika Kumari vs Bangladesh’s top order: Kumari’s pace with the new ball gives Sri Lanka their most direct route to an early breakthrough.
SL-W vs BAN-W Fantasy Team

Wicketkeepers: Nilakshi de Silva, Sobhana Mostary
Batters: Chamari Athapaththu (C), Harshitha Madavi Samarawickrama (VC), Ritu Moni
All-rounders: Kavisha Dilhari, Dilhara Akter
Bowlers: Sugandika Kumari, Nahida Akter, Marufa Akter, Chethana Vimukthi,
Athapaththu gets the captaincy as Sri Lanka’s captain and the batter most responsible for their recent dominance over this exact opponent. Samarawickrama is vice captain as one of Sri Lanka’s most consistent performers. The team leans heavily towards Sri Lanka given their recent head to head dominance and superior current form.
Match Prediction
Sri Lanka Women are the clear favourites. They are unbeaten in this tournament, they hold a 9-1 head to head record, and most tellingly they swept Bangladesh 3-0 in a bilateral series just weeks before this match.
Bangladesh Women have shown they can score heavily against weaker opposition, as they did against Indonesia, but their form against stronger sides this year has been inconsistent, and they have found no answers against Sri Lanka specifically in recent meetings.
Sri Lanka Women should win comfortably here, continuing a dominant recent run against this exact opponent.
