Sri Lanka Women and Bangladesh Women face off in the 21st match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday, October 20.​

This fixture marks an emotional phase of the campaign for both teams as their semifinal hopes fade away. Sri Lanka remain winless after five games, sitting near the bottom with only rain saving them from elimination earlier in the tournament. Their reliance on Chamari Athapaththu continues, with the skipper needing to lead from the front after inconsistent support from the middle order. Harshitha Samarawickrama and Hasini Perera will play crucial roles if Sri Lanka are to post a strong total.​

Bangladesh, on the other hand, opened their campaign brightly with a win over Pakistan but have since suffered four consecutive defeats. Despite that, their competitive outings against South Africa and England reveal potential that could trouble Sri Lanka. Captain Nigar Sultana’s consistent batting and Marufa Akter’s pace will be key to breaking their winless ODI record against Sri Lanka, having never beaten them in this format before.

Matches Played: 3 | Sri Lanka won: 02 | Bangladesh won: 00 | No results: 01

This is the first ODI to be played at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in this tournament. Known for its firm surface and batting-friendly conditions, the pitch is expected to produce a high-scoring contest. Totals around 250–260 are anticipated, especially with dew expected later in the evening, which should aid chasing sides. Early movement for pacers might challenge openers, but spinners could dominate as the pitch dries up.
