TEAMS PREVIEW

Bangladesh A Women Preview

Bangladesh A Women put in a strong performance in their last game in this format although they were still unable to come out on top of India A Women in Mong Kok.

We can expect Bangladesh A Women to hold their own in this game, particularly with the ball, with Nahida Akter and Sultana Khatun, both of who took two wicket hauls last time out, leading the charge.

Batting wise, there is little depth in the squad with number three Sobhana Mostary likely to hit the most boundaries and be the main threat for the opposing bowlers.

This is an excellent opportunity for Bangladesh A Women to get off to a fine start.

Bangladesh A Women Predicted Playing XI:

Shathi Rani, Dilara Akter (wk), Sobhana Mostary, Lata Mondal (c), Murshida Khatun, Shorna Akter, Nahida Akter, Rabeya Khan, Sultana Khatun, Marufa Akter, Sanjida Akter Meghla

Bangladesh A Women Actual Playing XI:

Rubya Haider, Taj Nehar, Jannatul Ferdus, Sharmin Sultana, Ishma Tanjim, Shorifa Khatun, Shamima Sultana, Fahima Khatun, Lata Mondal, Shanjida Akter, Farjana Easmin

Sri Lanka A Women Preview

Sri Lanka A Women were well beaten in their last game in this format but there is still plenty of talent in the team who should be able to put in a strong performance at this venue on Saturday.

Opening the batting, Chamari Athapaththu will skipper the side and she has the skills to play for any team in this tournament and is likely to be the strongest performer in both innings.

Backing her up with the bat will be Hasini Perera.

Bowling wise, Rangika Fernando and Sharina Ravikumar will be the main threats.

Sri Lanka A Women Predicted Playing XI:

Chamari Athapaththu (c), Yasoda Mendis, Hasini Perera, Lasanthi Madushani, Chathurani Gunawardene, Prasadani Weerakkody, Nipuni Hansika, Sanduni Abeywickrema, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Sanjeewani Weerakkody, Rangika Fernando

The pitch will be low and slow throughout the match although it may well spin more as the contest progresses. Our prediction is a par score in the region of 110.

Toss: To Bat

With this being the second game of the day on the pitch, we expect the surface to slow and get lower so we predict that both teams will want to bat first in this clash.
