SL-W vs PAK-W match 25 statistical preview [Source: @shamar_aaron/X.com]
Pakistan Women (PAK-W) will face Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) in the 25th match of the Women's World Cup. The encounter, set to be played at R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo, from 3:00 PM IST on Friday, 24 October, could prove to be a pride saver for both teams.
Pakistan Women
Pakistan have had a tough campaign so far, failing to win any of their six matches, with two games ending in no result. Sitting at the bottom with just two points and a net run rate of -2.651, the side, led by Fatima Sana, will look to turn things around.
Batters Sidra Amin and Muneeba Ali will be key for building a competitive total. The bowling duo of Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal will need to put in disciplined performances to give Pakistan any chance of a breakthrough.
Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are placed sixth with four points, having won one match out of six. Harshitha Samarawickrama and Nilakshika Silva have been crucial with the bat, while Inoka Ranaweera and Dewmi Vihanga will aim to contain Pakistan’s batting lineup. With both teams under pressure, this clash could define Sri Lanka's chances of avoiding a disappointing group-stage exit.
SL-W vs PAK-W head-to-head overview
Out of the 33 matches Sri Lanka Women played against Pakistan Women, 22 were won by the former while the latter managed 11 wins out of all these contests. There were no tied or abandoned matches between them.
R Premadasa Stadium Colombo pitch report
The R. Premadasa International Stadium in Colombo is expected to offer a balanced contest for the upcoming Women’s ODI World Cup match. The pitch generally provides true bounce and consistent pace, favouring stroke play in the early overs, while spinners are likely to get some turn in the later stages.
Early sessions may assist seamers with swing, and dew could help batters chasing targets. Teams batting first can capitalise on a fresh pitch, but middle-over partnerships will be crucial for success.
