SL-W vs SA-W Team Previews

Sri Lanka Women

Sri Lanka Women will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing outing against India, where their batting frailties were on full display. In a rain-shortened 39-over contest, they managed just 147, collapsing from 54 for 1 after a promising start. Hasini Perera, opening in place of the absent Vishmi Gunaratne, top-scored with a cautious 30, but a combination of poor running and India’s relentless spin attack derailed the innings. The middle order, once again, lacked composure under pressure.

One bright spot for Sri Lanka was debutant left-arm spinner N Sree Charani, who picked up two wickets with tidy infield catches. Her composure on debut bodes well as Sri Lanka look to shore up their bowling resources. However, they’ll need much more from their experienced batters like Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari if they hope to challenge a confident South African side.

Against South Africa’s power-packed top order, the Lankan bowlers—particularly Inoka Ranaweera and Sugandika Kumari—must strike early. Fielding discipline and running between the wickets, key issues in the previous game, also demand urgent attention. With Gunaratne’s availability still unclear, Sri Lanka will need both smart strategy and individual brilliance to stay competitive.

Sri Lanka Women Expected Playing 11

Chamari Athapaththu (c), Hasini Perera, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Hansima Karunaratne, Piumi Badalge, Achini Kulasuriya, Inoka Ranaweera, Malki Madara

South Africa Women

South Africa Women will aim to regroup quickly after a dramatic collapse cost them a winnable game against India. Chasing 277, they were cruising at 170 for 2 after 33 overs, led by a brilliant century from Tazmin Brits. But once Brits retired hurt due to cramp, their innings unraveled spectacularly, losing 8 wickets for 80 runs to fall short by 15.

Despite the loss, there were several positives. Brits’ 103 off 104 balls was a commanding knock, supported by a steady 43 from Laura Wolvaardt. Chloe Tryon and Sune Luus showed glimpses of late-order power, but the team’s inability to close out tight chases remains a concern. The bowling attack, despite moments of control—especially from Nonkululeko Mlaba—struggled with discipline, conceding 13 wides and letting India pile on 82 runs in the last ten overs.

Fielding lapses and rustiness—after a long break from international cricket—also hurt South Africa. However, with match practice now under their belt, they’ll back themselves to bounce back strongly. Against a vulnerable Sri Lankan batting unit, early wickets from Khaka and Klaas, and control from Mlaba and Luus, could make all the difference. If Brits recovers in time, South Africa should start as favorites.

South Africa Women Expected Playing 11

Laura Wolvaardt(c), Tazmin Brits, Sune Luus, Annerie Dercksen, Lara Goodall, Nadine de Klerk, Chloe Tryon, Sinalo Jafta(w), Nonkululeko Mlaba, Masabata Klaas, Ayabonga Khaka

SL-W vs SA-W Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is likely to want to bat first and get a score on the board. That is generally what teams prefer doing in the ODI format when it comes to the Women's ODI's.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo is renowned for its spin-friendly surface, which becomes increasingly challenging for batters as the match progresses. Early in the game, the pitch offers consistent bounce, allowing batters to play their shots with confidence. However, as the innings unfold, the dry surface tends to crack, providing significant assistance to spinners. This characteristic often makes batting in the second innings more demanding, especially under lights when dew can further complicate conditions.

Historically, teams batting first have enjoyed a better success rate at this venue. The average first-innings score hovers around 231, while the second innings sees a dip to approximately 190. This trend underscores the advantage of setting a target rather than chasing one.

Weather-wise, Colombo's tropical climate means high humidity levels, which can lead to dew formation in the evening. This dew can make the ball slippery, posing challenges for bowlers, especially spinners, during the latter stages of the match. Teams winning the toss might prefer to bat first to capitalize on the more predictable pitch conditions and avoid the complications introduced by dew in the second innings.​

SL-W vs SA-W: Who Will Win?

We think South Africa Women go into this match as favorites and should be able to come out winners. Sri Lanka Women are very top heavy and do not have the depth in either the batting or the bowling department to be able to recover from any sort of trouble.

SL-W vs SA-W win percentage stands at 56% in favor of SA-W.
