In head-to-head contests, Australia Women have absolutely dominated Sri Lanka Women in One-Day Internationals. The two nations have played each other 11 times in ODI cricket, and Australia have won every single match. Their initial encounter in December 2000 was won convincingly by Australia, while their last encounter was held in October 2019, again with the Aussies emerging victorious. Sri Lanka still await their first victory over the world champions, symbolizing the one-sidedness of this rivalry till date.
Sri Lanka Women (SL-W): Chamari Athapaththu (c), Hasini Perera, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Vishmi Gunaratne, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Achini Kulasuriya, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera.
Australia Women (AUS-W): Alyssa Healy (c & wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Kim Garth, Darcie Brown.
Australia Women are firm favorites for this encounter. Their powerful batting unit topped by Gardner, Mooney, and Healy and well-disciplined bowling unit make them a force to be reckoned with. Sri Lanka will rely heavily on skipper Chamari Athapaththu to hold the innings together and take the team forward.
Prediction: With current form and head-to-head advantage, Australia Women are expected to win easily.
