SLW vs BANW Team Previews
Sri Lanka Women
Deciding to bat after winning the toss, Sri Lanka managed to accumulate a total of 145 runs for the loss of six wickets. Chamari Athapaththu displayed consistent batting form by scoring a rapid 38 runs off just 28 balls, comprising of two fours and three sixes. Additionally, Harshitha Madavi contributed 45 runs, while Nilakshi de Silva remained unbeaten on 29 runs. While they did well, perhaps the only thing missing was application from their batsmen who all failed to go big after getting in. Once they scored an under-par score, it was too difficult for their bowlers to do the job. They would need to play to their potential in the upcoming match, especially with Bangladesh gaining momentum.

Chamari Atapattu, Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Madavi, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Anushka Sanjeewani, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Inoka Ranaweera, Udeshika Prabodhani, Kawya Kavindi, Sugandika Kumari.
Bangladesh Women
Skipper Nigar Sultana Joty demonstrated exceptional leadership as she remained unbeaten on 75 off 51 deliveries, including seven boundaries and two maximums. With her remarkable performance, Bangladesh successfully chased down a target of 146 with one ball remaining. Joty's standout innings was complemented by a crucial partnership of 71 runs for the fourth wicket alongside Ritu Moni. Moni contributed 33 runs off 23 balls, featuring four boundaries, until she was unfortunately run out by Anushka Sanjeewani. Despite Udeshika Prabodhani's impressive figures of 3-0-7-1, the Sri Lankan bowlers failed to provide significant support to her.
Bangladesh Women may not be having home advantage or a team on par with that of Sri Lanka Women but they showed that they have enough mettle to take on the hosts. They would need to do this again and if their experienced players can get enough support, Bangladesh Women will be in business yet again.
