TEAMS PREVIEW

Pakistan Women Preview

Bismah Maroof shall be confident about her side's prospects in this game. They defeated the Sri Lankans clinically in the last match and shall look to use this momentum. The bowling attack has shown good form in this tournament, and Maroof must make the best use of form to win this game.  

Muneeba Ali and Sidra Ameen shall look to build a big opening wicket stand in the game and put the side in a comfortable position. Maroof adds solidity to the line-up in the middle order, and she would look to add quick runs with Omaima Sohail and Nida Dar. Aliya Riaz and Ayesha Naseem add to the side's batting depth.  

The bowling attack troubled the Sri Lankans in the last game, and the new ball pair of Sadia Iqbal and Aiman Anwer shall aim for a similar show in the game. Omaima Sohail shall be confident with her 5-wicket haul, and the side would have big expectations from her. Tuba Hassan and Nida Dar make it a strong bowling attack.

Sri Lanka Women Preview

Chamari Athapaththu will look to put behind the loss against Pakistan in the last game. We have seen this script in the past where the side's batting has collapsed in big games. Athapaththu likes leading the side front the front, and she must inspire confidence and make it to the final first time since 2008.  

Harshitha Madavi has been in good form and needs to set up a big opening wicket stand with Chamari Athapaththu at the top. The rest of the batting line-up has been inconsistent, and they would need runs from Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, and Anushka Sanjeewani in this game. Malsha Shehani and Oshadi Ranasinghe need to add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

Oshadi Ranasinghe and Sugandika Kumari must deliver early blows for the side to be in a comfortable position in this game. Achini Kulasuriya has troubled the Pakistanis, and the same would be expected from her in this game. Inoka Ranaweera, Kavisha Dilhari, and Athapaththu need to chip in with tight spells as the Pakistanis have depth in their batting.  

Sri Lanka Women Predicted Playing XI:

Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Madavi, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Hasini Perera, Nilakshi de Silva, Kavisha Dilhari, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Malsha Shehani, Inoka Ranaweera, Sugandika Kumari, Achini Kulasuriya

Sri Lanka Women Actual Playing XI:

Hasini Perera, Kavisha Dilhari, Harshitha Madavi, Chamari Atapattu, Nilakshi de Silva, Malsha Shehani, Achini Kulasuriya, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Inoka Ranaweera, Anushka Sanjeewani, Sugandika Kumari

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Sylhet would see overcast skies on October 13, and this should make it tough to bat with bowlers getting to move the ball. While the outfield is fast, the two-paced wicket makes it a difficult pitch to bat on. In the past, we have seen low-scoring games and a score of 150 would be a good total on the board.

Venue Details

Sylhet International Cricket Stadium It isn't a typical high-scoring T20 venue and perhaps one of those rare grounds in the sub-continent where there is a lot for the bowlers. The cool weather conditions make it a difficult wicket to bat on, especially in the first innings. Fast bowlers on both sides should enjoy bowling on this ground.

Toss: To Bowl

Defending scores has always been a challenge at this venue. The wicket offers a lot to the bowlers, and knowing a victory target is an advantage for the side. The side winning the toss would like to bowl first and make the best out of the early morning conditions.
