AUSW vs SLW Team Previews

Australia Women

Australia Women enters the match as a powerhouse in women’s cricket with a squad full of experienced players and emerging talents. The Aussie Women are fresh off a warm-up game win against West Indies Women.

Alyssa Healy, who has been one of the standout performers in women's international cricket. She will once again be key at the top of the order by combining her aggressive batting with wicketkeeping duties. She has been part of two Women's ODI World Cup winning sides and six Women's T20 World Cup winning sides with Australia. With Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath adding further firepower to the batting lineup, Australia has the depth to post big totals.

Ellyse Perry’s all-round abilities continue to make her a vital component of Australia’s lineup. She has almost 2000 runs and almost 130 wickets in Women's T20Is. 

In the bowling department, Megan Schutt and Ashleigh Gardner are expected to lead the attack. Schutt’s ability to swing the ball early on is likely to trouble Sri Lanka’s top order. Gardner's spin tricks are likely to toy with the team from the subcontinent. Ashleigh Gardner, in particular, has 12 wickets in her previous nine Women's T20I games.

Sri Lanka Women

Sri Lanka Women will be pinning their hopes on their captain, Chamari Athapaththu, who has been the team’s most reliable performer in recent years. Sri Lanka Women won the Women's Asia Cup this year.

On the Sri Lankan side, Chamari Athapaththu will be crucial. If she can play a big innings, Sri Lanka could have a chance to make this a competitive match. The skipper has more than 3000 Women's T20I runs. Athapaththu’s aggressive batting style will be crucial if Sri Lanka is to challenge the formidable Australian side. Her ability to take on the bowlers and score at a quick rate will be key to setting or chasing a competitive total. 

Harshitha Samarawickrama, another important player for Sri Lanka, will need to provide stability in the middle order and build partnerships to support Athapaththu. She has 368 Women's T20I runs in her last ten games in the format.

Inoka Ranaweera will spearhead Sri Lanka’s bowling attack with her experience and ability to exploit any assistance from the pitch. The 38-year-old bowler has an incredible 91 wickets in Women's T20Is.

Sri Lanka's overall team effort, especially in the bowling department, will need to be at its best to contain Australia’s powerful batting lineup.

AUSW vs SLW Toss Prediction

They will be aiming to post a big total on the board and put pressure on the opposition in the second innings. 

Batting first could be advantageous. The pitch is likely to offer early assistance to batters before slowing down later in the game and making chasing more difficult.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch is expected to be batting-friendly in the initial stages of the match. 

However, as the game progresses, spinners might find some assistance, which could make middle-overs crucial for both teams. Conditions may also favor slower bowlers, which could bring players like Ashleigh Gardner and Inoka Ranaweera into play as the match unfolds.

A score between 150 to 160 runs in 20 overs is likely to be competitive, but Australia’s batting strength means they could push for even higher totals. 

AUSW vs SLW Betting Tips
