Sri Lanka Women vs Pakistan Women Prediction: Sri Lanka has a better record

Sri Lanka Women and Pakistan Women are going head to head in the Second semi finals of the Asia Cup at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Sri Lanka on 26th July 2024. Sri Lanka has a better record than Pakistan in the tournament coming into this game. Who will win this game of cricket?

Sri Lanka has made a semifinal berth by ending up at the top of the Group B points table, winning all their three matches. They posted victories over Bangladesh Women by seven wickets, Malaysia Women by 144 runs and Thailand Women by 10 wickets within a week.

Captain Chamari Athapaththu has been magnificent, collecting 180 runs in three games that makes her the highest run-scorer in the tournament. The Sri Lankan team will also bank on off-spinners Kavisha Dilhari and Inoshi Priyadharshani in the bowling lineup.

Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Hasini Perera, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Inoshi Priyadharshani Fernando, Udeshika Prabodhani, Sugandika Kumari and Achini Kulasuriya.

Following the seven-wicket defeat at the hands of India, Pakistan Women made a strong comeback with convincing wins against Nepal and UAE Women. With four points from three matches, the 'Women in Green' finished the second spot in Group A to qualify for the semifinals.

These included some key performances for Pakistan, most notably Gull Feroza, who scored 124 runs, and Muneeba Ali, who added 94 for the top runs among the team during this tournament. Though bowling has become a problem for the team, Sadia Iqbal has been very effective at left-arm spin, returning figures of 4/114 from three matches at an average of 12.75.

Gull Feroza, Muneeba Ali (wk), Tuba Hassan, Sidra Ameen, Omaima Sohail, Nida Dar (c), Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana, Syeda Aroob Shah, Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal.

The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium generally favours spinners but also provides opportunities for fast bowlers. Once batters get settled, they can dominate during the middle overs. The average first-innings score has been 136 in this venue in the Women's T20 Asia Cup 2024, and thus rather competitive in nature. The captain who wins the toss is most likely to choose to field first looking at the recent results. We expect Sri Lanka Women to get the job done and enter into the finals of the Asia Cup.
