Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) will face Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) in Match No. 21 of the Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, on Monday, October 20.

Sri Lanka Women are currently seventh on the points table, having lost three matches and seen two games end with no result. With no wins so far, they will be looking to open their account and remain in contention for the later stages of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh Women sit just above sixth in the table, with one win from five matches. They too will aim to secure a victory, which would provide a much-needed boost and improve their standing in the points table.

The Dr DY Patil Sports Academy pitch typically offers good bounce and consistent pace, allowing batters to play their shots comfortably. The surface is generally flat, making it ideal for high-scoring contests, particularly in limited-overs cricket. Fast bowlers can extract some movement early on, while spinners tend to come into play during the middle and later stages as the pitch dries slightly, offering extra grip and turn.

Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Hasini Perera, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Piumi Wathsala Badalge, Sugandika Kumari, Malki Madara, Inoka Ranaweera

Fargana Hoque, Rubya Haider (wk), Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana (c), Sobhana Mostary, Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter, Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan, Nishita Akter Nishi, Fariha Trisna

The right-handed batter Sobhana Mostary could be a key player in this clash. She has scored 161 runs in five innings, contributing the bulk of her team’s runs in the tournament so far. Mostary has the ability to play long innings and anchor the game, potentially taking her team forward when it matters most.

The left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera could be the key bowler in this clash. She has claimed seven wickets in four matches at an impressive average of 14.71. Her full 10-over spells will be crucial and have the potential to turn the game single-handedly in Sri Lanka’s favour.
