The second match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 features a highly anticipated clash between Pakistan Women and Sri Lanka Women at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Both teams have struggled historically in this tournament, never advancing beyond the group stages. However, Sri Lanka Women, led by the dynamic Chamari Athapaththu, will come into this match with more confidence, having won three of their last four encounters with Pakistan.
Pakistan Women Preview:
The Pakistan Women’s team heads into this game in poor form, winning only one of their last four games. Without a standout world-class player, Pakistan Women will rely heavily on the likes of Nida Dar and captain Fatima Sana. Their performance in the recent series against South Africa Women, where they managed a victory, shows that they can be competitive, but consistency has been their issue. For Pakistan to win, Muneeba Ali, Gull Feroza, and Sadia Iqbal need to perform with both bat and ball.
Key Players: Nida Dar, Muneeba Ali, Fatima Sana
Pakistan Women Predicted Playing XI:Sidra Amin, Omaima Sohail, Sadaf Shamas, Nida Dar, Muneeba Ali (wk), Iram Javed, Gull Feroza, Fatima Sana (c), Sadia Iqbal, Tuba Hassan, Diana Baig
Sri Lanka Women Preview:
Sri Lanka Women, with Chamari Athapaththu at the helm, have a golden opportunity to secure a crucial win. Athapaththu, a world-class all-rounder, is key to their success and has the ability to single-handedly win matches. With other talented batters like Harshitha Samarawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari, Sri Lanka has the upper hand in this contest. Their bowling attack, featuring Inoshi Priyadharshani and Sugandika Kumari, is also likely to challenge Pakistan’s batters.
Key Players: Chamari Athapaththu, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari
Sri Lanka Women Predicted Playing XI:Chamari Athapaththu (c), Kavisha Dilhari, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Vishmi Gunaratne, Hasini Perera, Anushka Sanjeewani, Nilakshika Silva, Ama Kanchana, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Sugandika Kumari, Achini Kulasuriya
Pitch and Conditions:
The Sharjah Cricket Stadium is expected to offer some turn for spinners but will predominantly favor seamers. A score of 135+ will be competitive on this surface, and both teams will aim to bat first, given the favorable record for teams batting first at this venue.
Toss Prediction:
The team that wins the toss will likely choose to bat first, as six of the last seven T20I matches at Sharjah have been won by the side batting first.
Reddy Anna Winning Prediction:
Sri Lanka Women hold the advantage, with Chamari Athapaththu in prime form and a stronger head-to-head record against Pakistan. Given their recent performances, we are backing Sri Lanka Women to win this match.
