Australia vs Sri Lanka Women Predictions
Australia have won their last 13 matches on the bounce and are as unbeatable a side as can be imagined. It takes a brilliant performance to beat them, but judging by Sri Lanka’s opening loss to Pakistan in this World Cup, it will take a far stronger side that Sri Lanka to beat Australia. I’m expecting a big win for Australia as they power their way to the final.
- Australia Women’s Beth Mooney has scored 2858 runs in WT20Is at an average of 39.69.
- Australia Women’s Alyssa Healy has scored 33, 65*, 45, 38 & 27 in her last 6 WT20Is.
- Sri Lanka Women’s Nilakshika Silva has scored 24*, 30 & 22 in her last 3 innings.
- Sri Lanka Women’s Chamari Athapaththu has scored 70 & 39* in her last 5 innings.
Head-to-Head
Australia have won all seven T20Is that they have played against Sri Lanka.
Australia Women Form
In their last 20 internationals in all formats, Australia have only twice and are an astonishingly talented side.
Their last match saw them clinch their three-match series against New Zealand 3-0, after restricting New Zealand to 146/6 off their 20 overs. Georgia Wareham (2/21, econ 5.25) was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers.
Australia timed their chase perfectly, winning by five wickets with five balls to spare. Ellyse Perry top-scored with 36 off 29 balls.
Australia Women Team News
Australia Women are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.
Sri Lanka Women Form
After winning the Women’s Asia Cup against India, Sri Lanka shared a WT20I series 1-1 with Ireland before losing to Pakistan in their World Cup opener.
Sri Lanka bowled brilliantly to dismiss Pakistan for 116 off the last ball of their 20 overs. Udeshika Prabodhani, Sugandika Kumari and Chamari Athapaththu each picked up three wickets at five runs or less to the over.
Sri Lanka bungled their chase, collapsing to 52/5 before Nilakshika Silva (22) lifted their score into the 80s. It was not enough to prevent a 31-run loss as Sri Lanka crawled to 85/9 off their 20 overs.
Sri Lanka Women Team News
Sri Lanka Women need to find their best form with the bat to back up their bowlers if they hope to offer Australia even the slightest challenge.
Verdict
I am backing Australia Women to win. I am also backing Beth Mooney to top score for Australia Women.
Nilakshika Silva is a good bet to top score for the Sri Lanka Women.
Nilakshika Silva is a good bet to top score for the Sri Lanka Women.
