The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 rolls on as Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) take on Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) in Match 21 on Monday, October 20 at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The match will begin at 3:00 PM IST with both teams desperate to end their losing streaks and register a morale-boosting win.

Sri Lanka Women

Sri Lanka Women remain winless so far with three defeats and two no results in their five games. In their previous outing against South Africa Women, they managed 105/7 in a rain-affected 20-over contest. Vishmi Gunaratne was the lone bright spot, top-scoring with 34 runs while captain Chamari Athapaththu, Kavisha Dilhari, Harshitha Samarawickrama and Nilkashi de Silva failed to convert starts.

With the ball, the Lankans struggled to make inroads as Sugandika Kumari, Malki Madara, Inoka Ranaweera and Kavisha Dilhari all went wicketless. Sri Lanka will need their senior pros to step up if they are to break the winless run and finally open their account in the tournament.

Bangladesh Women

Bangladesh Women, after a dream start with a win over Pakistan, have endured a rough patch, losing four consecutive matches. Their last defeat came against Australia Women, where they were comprehensively beaten by 10 wickets. Batting first, they put up 198/9, thanks to Sobhana Mostary’s fighting 66 off 80 balls and Rubya Haider’s 44 but the rest of the lineup failed to fire.

In response, the bowlers were taken apart as Australia chased down the target inside 25 overs without losing a wicket. The likes of Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan and Nahida Akter couldn’t apply any pressure. Bangladesh now face a must-win game to stay relevant in the tournament and will need an all-round improvement across departments.

The surface at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai generally provides a balanced contest between bat and ball. Fast bowlers are expected to find some early lateral movement with the new ball while batters can capitalize once they get set. Spinners could come into play as the match progresses but the pitch overall remains batting-friendly. Teams chasing have often found success here as the surface tends to get better under lights. Expect the captain winning the toss to field first.
