Defending champions Sri Lanka Women open their group campaign against a side making its Women’s Asia Cup debut. Indonesia arrive in Dubai having qualified through the ACC Women’s Premier Cup, where they finished third, but their tournament opener here ended badly, bowled out for just 58 by Bangladesh. Chamari Athapaththu captains a Sri Lanka side that won its own opener in the tightest possible fashion, by a single wicket. These contrasting starts make the SL-W vs INA-W Fantasy Team an interesting one to build, with several key players worth considering for fantasy selections.

Recent Form
Sri Lanka Women won their tournament opener in dramatic fashion, chasing a target of 80 against UAE and getting home at 80/1 with just one wicket to spare after being reduced to 79/10 in the closing stages of a very tense finish. Before this tournament they toured Pakistan, winning two of three matches, and reached the group stage of the T20 World Cup, where they beat Scotland among other results.
Indonesia Women lost their tournament opener heavily, bowled out for 58 in 17.3 overs by Bangladesh, who had posted 129/8. It is a tough start, though Indonesia’s build up to this tournament was more encouraging. At the ACC Women’s Premier Cup they beat Oman in the quarter final and Hong Kong in the third place playoff, with their only defeat coming in the semi final against Thailand.
Points Table
Sri Lanka Women sit top of Group B with one win from one match and a net run rate of plus 6.263, boosted heavily by the low scoring nature of their opener. Indonesia Women are bottom of the group with one defeat from one match and a net run rate of minus 3.550.
Indonesia’s Historic Debut
This is Indonesia’s first ever appearance at the Women’s Asia Cup, having earned their place through their run at the ACC Women’s Premier Cup earlier this year. Captain Nanda Sakarini is the side’s most significant asset, the only Indonesian batter with more than 1,000 WT20I runs, having scored 1,570 runs at an average of 52.28 across 63 innings. Sang Maypriani leads their bowling with 15 wickets at an economy of 4.11.
For a team playing its first match at this level of competition, simply being competitive against a side of Sri Lanka’s pedigree would represent real progress.
SL-W vs INA-W Head to Head Record
There is no prior meeting between these two sides at senior level. This is the first time Sri Lanka Women and Indonesia Women have played each other in a Women’s T20 International.
SL-W vs INA-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 Kaushini Nuthyangana keeps wicket.
The bowling has real variety, with Sugandika Kumari’s pace, Nilakshika de Silva’s allround skills and a spin group including Kawya Kavindi and Chamudi Praboda.
Full squad: Chamari Athapaththu (c), Kaushini Nuthyangana (wk), Imesha Dulani, Vishmi Gunaratne, Sanjana Kavindi, Hasini Perera, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshika de Silva, Dewmi Vihanga, Sugandika Kumari, Chamudi Praboda, Chethana Vimukthi, Mithali Ayodhya, Kawya Kavindi.
Indonesia Women: Nanda Sakarini captains the side and keeps wicket, the standout performer in a squad making its Women’s Asia Cup debut. Sang Maypriani leads the bowling attack, and Kadek Winda Prastini and Rahmawati Pangestuti add further batting options.
Full squad: Nanda Sakarini (c, wk), Kadek Winda Prastini, Rahmawati Pangestuti, Wesika Ratna Dewi, Rada Rani, Desi Wulandari, Putri Suwandewi, Kisi Salisa Kasse, Sang Maypriani, Ni Kadek Ariani, Derni Bangi, Dara Agung Laksmi, Lie Qiao, Maria Corazon Wombaki, Sofia Velic.
Pitch Report
Dubai International Cricket Stadium has favoured the team bowling first in the women’s game, winning 61 percent of matches across 23 tracked games. Scores are generally modest, with an average first innings score of 120 and second innings of 99.
The ground has produced very low totals before, including 56 all out by Pakistan against New Zealand, and Indonesia’s own 58 in their opener fits that pattern closely. The highest total recorded here is a relatively modest 172/3 by India against Sri Lanka. Pace has a slight edge over spin, taking 57 percent of wickets over the last 10 matches against 43 percent for spin.
Weather Report
Wednesday in Dubai will be hot, with sunny skies, a temperature around 37.1°C, low humidity at 36 percent, and no chance of rain. A full match with no interruption risk is expected, though the heat itself is a factor as innings progress.

These are estimates. Final XIs are confirmed at the toss.
Key Player Battles
Chamari Athapaththu vs Sang Maypriani: Sri Lanka’s captain against Indonesia’s leading wicket taker. Maypriani has taken 15 wickets at a tidy economy in recent competitive cricket, and how she copes with Athapaththu’s aggression will shape the whole innings.
Nanda Sakarini vs Sugandika Kumari: Indonesia’s captain and most experienced batter against Sri Lanka’s pace spearhead. Sakarini’s runs are essential if Indonesia are to avoid another collapse like the one against Bangladesh.
Harshitha Samarawickrama vs Indonesia’s spin attack: Samarawickrama’s class against a bowling attack still finding its feet at this level of competition.
SL-W vs INA-W Fantasy Team

Wicketkeepers: Maria Corazon,
Batters: Mithali Ayodhya, Nilakshika Silva, Harshita Samarawickrama,
All-rounders: Chamari Athapaththu (C), Kavisha Dilhari, Imesha Dulani, Ni Kadek Arian, Chethana Vimukthi (VC),
Bowlers: Sofia Velic, Sugandha Kumari,
Athapaththu gets the captaincy as Sri Lanka’s captain and most destructive batter, coming off a match winning display in the opener. Chethana Vimukthi is the vice-captain pick for her ability to contribute with both bat and ball.. The rest is weighted to Sri Lanka given the gap in squad depth, with Indonesia’s most credible performers included as differentials.
Match Prediction
Sri Lanka Women should win this comfortably. They are the defending champions, they showed the ability to grind out a result in a tense finish in their opener, and their squad carries far more experience at this level than Indonesia’s.
Indonesia Women are playing their first ever Women’s Asia Cup match having already been bowled out for 58 once in this tournament. Nanda Sakarini gives them a real focal point, and their run to the third place playoff at the ACC Women’s Premier Cup shows they can compete against similar opposition, but Sri Lanka represents a significant step up.
Sri Lanka Women are the clear pick, with Indonesia’s target realistically being a competitive total and a respectable margin of defeat rather than an upset.
