The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is all set to begin in UAE. Due to political turmoil, the tournament has been shifted to UAE from Bangladesh but the host remains the same.
Sri Lanka’s women’s cricket team has been in the spotlight this year. They have seen some good moments in 2024 like winning the Asia Cup after defeating India in the finals and a T20i series win against South Africa.
Before coming for the T20 World Cup, Sri Lanka women's score was seen in action against Ireland. The team carries enough experience in international cricket and they might provide upsets in the T20 World Cup.
Sri Lanka Cricket and the selection committee have announced a 15-member squad for the tournament plus one travelling reserve. The team will be under the leadership of the ferocious batter Chamari Athapaththu.
Chamari Athapaththu has been the backbone of the team and her performance in T20 cricket leagues has been nothing but exceptional. The veteran Inoka Ranaweera will also be part of the team and her experience in the bowling unit will be helpful for the team.
The betting odds for the Sri Lanka Women’s cricket team are uploaded on 1xBet.
