SL-W vs BAN-W Team Preview & Analysis
Sri Lanka Women
The Sri Lankan women’s team has struggled throughout the tournament, losing all five matches so far. Their batting order has been unstable, and they rely heavily on Chamari Athapattu and Nilakshi de Silva, who have shown good form but have been unable to build consistent partnerships.
The bowling is a concern, with Inoka Ranveer the only standout performer, taking seven wickets in three matches. To end their campaign on a positive note, Sri Lanka will need a combined performance from both departments.
