AUSW vs SLW Match Preview
Alyssa Healy is a must-have in your Dream11 team. As a top-order batter and wicketkeeper, Healy’s aggressive style gives her the potential to score big runs and collect points with dismissals behind the stumps. She played a composed knock of 54 runs off 43 balls unbeaten.
Ellyse Perry is another critical pick for her all-round abilities, offering both batting depth and wicket-taking potential. The all-rounder has milestones galore in Women's T20I cricket. She has nine half-centuries with four four-wicket hauls.
With players like Beth Mooney leading from the front, her ability to anchor the innings makes her another excellent pick for your team. She has 313 runs in her last ten Women's T20Is.
On the bowling side, Megan Schutt will be looking to capitalize on her early overs with swing and pace, while Ashleigh Gardner’s spin could be crucial in the middle overs. Schutt took four wickets against Sri Lanka Women previously. Gardner has 72 Women's T20I wickets.
Sri Lanka’s captain, Chamari Athapaththu, is their most important player and should be a top pick for any Dream11 team. Athapaththu’s aggressive batting and leadership are key to Sri Lanka’s success. The all-rounder has smashed 369 runs in her last eight Women's T20I matches.
Alongside her, players like Harshitha Samarawickrama can provide stability in the middle order. The 28-year-old batter has eight half-centuries in the shortest format.
With the ball, Inoka Ranaweera will be Sri Lanka’s main threat, particularly in the middle overs where she can extract turn and cause problems for Australia’s batters. The left-arm spinner has best bowling figures in the format of four for seven.
Weather Report
The weather is forecast to be clear with no major interruptions expected. There is a zero percent chance of rain on Saturday. Conditions are likely to be ideal for cricket, with temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius. This should ensure a full game with no disruptions.
Pitch Report
The pitch is expected to be balanced, offering something for both batters and bowlers. Early on, the ball may come onto the bat nicely. As the game progresses, spinners might find some assistance. A first innings score in the range of 150 to 160 runs could be competitive on this surface.

Dream11 Prediction
Australia Women are the clear favorites in this match, given their depth and experience. However, Sri Lanka Women has the potential to push Australia Women if their key players fire.
Top Picks
Alyssa Healy: Australia’s aggressive opener and wicketkeeper will be key in both the batting and fielding departments. Expect big runs and wicketkeeper dismissals. The Australia Women captain's highest score and only century in Women's T20Is is an unbeaten 148 runs against the same opposition.
Ellyse Perry: Perry’s all-round abilities make her indispensable in the Dream11 lineup. She can contribute with both bat and ball and is always a threat in the middle overs. In Women's T20Is, she has a batting high score of 75 and best bowling figures of four for 12.
Chamari Athapaththu: Sri Lanka’s star batter will need to lead from the front. If Athapaththu can build a big innings like her highest score of 119 not out, Sri Lanka could challenge Australia’s dominance.
