Sri Lanka Women and Pakistan Women will lock horns in the third warm-up match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 at County Ground, Derby.
For both teams, this match is less about points and more about finding the right combinations ahead of the main tournament. Sri Lanka arrive with a blend of experienced players and exciting young talent under the leadership of Chamari Athapaththu, while Pakistan Women will once again rely on captain Fatima Sana to guide a relatively young squad.
Sri Lanka will be encouraged by the presence of several match-winners, including Athapaththu, Kaveesha Dilhari and Nilakshika Silva. Pakistan, meanwhile, possess a balanced squad featuring Muneeba Ali, Aliya Riaz, Diana Baig and Sadia Iqbal.

Sri Lanka Women will once again look towards their inspirational captain Chamari Athapaththu to lead from the front. The experienced all-rounder remains one of the most influential players in women's cricket.
Athapaththu has scored 3,752 runs in 157 WT20Is at a strike rate of 110.90, including three centuries and 14 fifties. Her ability to dominate bowling attacks makes her Sri Lanka's biggest threat.
Kaveesha Dilhari has also emerged as a key player in recent years, scoring 825 runs in 44 WT20Is at an average of 25.78. Nilakshika Silva adds further stability with 1,178 runs and four half-centuries in her WT20I career. Harshitha Samarawickrama and Vishmi Gunarathne provide additional quality at the top of the order.
Athapaththu's value extends beyond batting. She has taken 71 WT20I wickets and remains a genuine wicket-taking option. Kaveesha Dilhari has claimed 37 wickets in WT20Is and offers excellent control through the middle overs. Kawya Kavindi and Sugandika Dassanayaka will also be expected to play important roles.

Pakistan Women will be led by captain Fatima Sana, who has developed into one of the best all-rounders in women's cricket.
The team recently played in the Ireland Women's Tri-Series, where their batting showed promise despite mixed results, making these warm-up games important for fine-tuning combinations.
Muneeba Ali remains one of Pakistan's most experienced batters, having scored 1,386 WT20I runs, including a century and five fifties. Captain Fatima Sana has contributed 785 runs in WT20Is and continues to improve as a middle-order batter.
Aliya Riaz, Iram Javed and Natalia Pervaiz add depth and experience to the lineup, while young players such as Eyman Fatima and Gull Feroza provide attacking options.
Fatima Sana is Pakistan's strike bowler with 82 wickets in 61 WT20Is, including a five-wicket haul. Diana Baig brings valuable experience with 66 WT20I wickets and remains one of Pakistan's most dependable seamers. The spin duo of Sadia Iqbal and Nashra Sandhu will be crucial on English surfaces that often reward disciplined bowling.

Derby is expected to witness pleasant conditions with temperatures around 18-21°C. There is a slight possibility of cloud cover, but significant rain interruptions are not currently expected.
The County Ground in Derby features a balanced surface offering early seam movement, especially under cloud cover. While batting becomes easier as the match progresses, high-scoring power-hitters must still prioritize partnerships. With an average first-innings score of 135–150, totals above 150 are highly competitive, giving chasing teams a reasonable chance at success.
Score Prediction
If Sri Lanka Women Bat First: 140-150 runs
If Pakistan Women Bat First: 135-145 runs
Given English conditions and the possibility of early seam movement, both captains may prefer bowling first and chasing later in the day.
Toss Prediction: Sri Lanka Women to win the coin toss
Sri Lanka Women appear slightly stronger on paper due to the presence of Chamari Athapaththu and a more settled core group. Their batting lineup also looks marginally deeper.
Pakistan Women possess enough bowling quality to challenge any team, particularly through Fatima Sana, Diana Baig and their spin attack, but their batting has often lacked consistency against quality opposition. With Athapaththu capable of influencing the game with both bat and ball, Sri Lanka Women hold a narrow edge heading into this warm-up fixture.
