The 2025 Women's World Cup continues to deliver exciting games of cricket with the spinning conditions in Guwahati and Colombo seemingly giving the lesser teams an advantage.
South Africa Women beat India Women in a thriller in Visakhapatnam by three wickets with seven balls remaining on Thursday, a result which leaves both teams in the top four along with Australia Women and England Women.
Ahead of Friday's contest between Bangladesh Women and New Zealand Women, the latter, along with Pakistan Women were the only two teams yet to pick up a win in this tournament.
Overall, this looks like an excellent contest with Sri Lanka Women sure to cause England Women some problems as the home side.

It's two wins out of two for England Women so far in the 2025 Women's World Cup although they had an almighty scare in their last game against Bangladesh Women.
It all looked to be going so smoothly for Nat Sciver-Brunt's side who dismissed Bangladesh Women for 178 but then found themselves in serious trouble on 78/5.
Thankfully, former skipper Heather Knight came to the rescue with 79 not out from 111 balls but the batting line-up overall needs to improve in this game.
With the ball, Sophie Ecclestone remains the main threat for England Women.
Amy Jones Total 4's Under 3.5 1.85
Amy Jones is known to struggle on bowler-friendly tracks and is currently averaging three fours per game in this World Cup. In her two previous WODI matches at the R. Premadasa Stadium, she managed to hit five fours, averaging 2.5 fours per match. We anticipate another low score from Jones in this fixture and predict her total number of fours will be under 3.5.
Heather Knight Total Runs Over 29.5 1.85
Heather Knight saved England from an upset against Bangladesh by scoring a match-winning knock of 79* runs off 111 deliveries. Her demonstration of grit and determination powered England to their second consecutive victory. Knight is one of the senior batters in the lineup and excels at playing spin, which is crucial as the pitch in Colombo favors spinners. Given this, Knight is the ideal batter to rely on for a player prop, and we are backing her to score over 29 runs in this fixture.

Sri Lanka Women will be itching to get back on the pitch in this contest against England Women on Saturday after their last fixture, against Australia Women, was washed out without a ball bowled!
So we have to go back to the opening game of the tournament, when Sri Lanka Women took on India Women and were beaten by 59 runs (DLS) to find their last showing.
Once again, Chamari Athapaththu is going to be key for Sri Lanka Women with both bat and ball - with Inoka Ranaweera also likely to be a big threat with the ball in hand.
Nilakshika Silva is the most likely to make a significant contribution with the bat down the order.
Harshitha Samarawickrama Total 4's Over 2.5 1.70
Harshitha Samarawickrama is averaging 3.6 fours per WODI in the matches played at the R. Premadasa Stadium in her career. In her last outing against India Women, she smashed three fours. In fact, she is one of the best players against spin in the Sri Lankan batting lineup and usually scores most of her runs in boundaries. She is a safe bet in this fixture to hit over 2.5 fours.
Harshitha Samarawickrama Total Runs Over 23.5 1.85
Harshitha Samarawickrama scored 29 runs in the first match of the tournament against India Women; however, the second game against Australia was a washout. Samarawickrama maintains a good record at Colombo, having scored 212 runs across six WODI matches for an average of 35.33. With familiar home conditions, an impactful knock is expected from her in this fixture, and we predict her total runs will be over 23.
Hasini Perera, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Vishmi Gunaratne, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshika Silva, Anushka Ranjeewani (wk), Sugandika Kumari, Achini Kulasuriya, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera

The forecast is for humid conditions across the game in Colombo with cloudy skies throughout. There is a chance of the odd short shower with the temperature up at 31 degrees.

Colombo is an excellent place for cricket in any format but the 100 overs in this game will certainly take some spin! Expect low bounce and a par score of around 280.
Total Match Score Under 430.5 1.72
The pitch at Premadasa Stadium in Colombo has favoured the bowlers, so far it has been a low scoring venue, where the average total match score is 334 runs. Both Sri Lanka and England boast strong bowling lineups and on a surface that aids bowlers, expect a low scoring thriller and we predict the total match score to be under 431 runs.
Sri Lanka Women to win the coin toss 1.95
We back Sri Lanka Women to win the coin toss in match 12 of ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 against England Women.
So far in the tournament, England Women have had their success by chasing down a target so we predict that both teams will want to bowl first.
