SLW vs WIW Team Previews
Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka hasn’t been in the best of forms in the ongoing ICC Championship cycle. With only 5 wins from 18 matches, the team is placed in the bottom third of the table. However, the fact that they are coming into this contest on the back of a win against South Africa should give them some amount of confidence.
Chamari Athapaththu is in brilliant form with the bat. She was the top run-getter for Sri Lanka during the tour of South Africa, scoring 248 runs. She is likely to be joined by Vishmi Gunaratne at the top of the order. The middle order consists of Hansima Karunaratne, Kavisha Dilhari, and Anushka Sanjeewani.
Coming to the bowling, the hosts have a strong spin attack thanks to the presence of Oshadi Ranasinghe, Inoka Ranaweera, and Dilhari, while Udeshika Prabodhani will helm the seam department.

West Indies Women
The West Indies scored a clean sweep against Pakistan in its backyard to climb up to the 7th place on the points table. However, there is plenty of work yet to be done.
Hayley Matthews is in brilliant form with the bat as well as the ball. She has scored 632 runs in the current cycle and has also picked up 22 wickets. She and Stafanie Taylor will be the key batters for the visitors in this match. The middle order consists of Rashada Williams, Shemaine Campbelle, and Chedean Nation, but their form hasn’t been the best.
West Indies has bet heavily on its pacers and has included Aaliyah Alleyne, Shabika Gajnabi, Shamilia Connell, and Cherry Ann-Fraser. Karishma Ramharack and Afy Fletcher are the two specialist spinners on the squad.
