Match Preview

England and Sri Lanka will face off in match number 12 of the ongoing Women’s Cricket World Cup this weekend. Sri Lanka is yet to win a match, but they did share points with Australia as their latest encounter was washed out due to inclement weather. Nevertheless, they will be eager to register a win here and move to the points table.

England has been clinical in its journey thus far, winning both matches in relative comfort. They are second on the points table by virtue of their NRR. While these are still early days in the tournament, England will look to gain some momentum and book their place in the playoffs at the earliest.

Injuries & Illnesses

There are no reports of injuries from either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch at the R Premadasa Stadium is usually good to bat on. There is some grass  on the surface and the seamers couldn’t get some help during the Powerplay. However, once the batters settle down, playing shots will get easier. Although the spinners might come into action as the match progresses.

The weather forecast isn’t very good as we are expecting showers throughout the day.
