SL-W vs BAN-W Match Prediction: Match 21, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report & More – ICC Women’s World Cup 2025

SL-W vs BAN-W: The next game in the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will be played between Sri Lanka Women and Bangladesh Women. This match will be played at DY Patil Cricket Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday at 3 PM IST. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details of this game.

Sri Lanka Women Preview 

Sri Lanka women are one of the two teams who are winless in this tournament. They have two points after two rained-out games. They will be looking for their first win of the edition with this game.

• Key Batters: Chamari Athapaththu and Nilakshi de Silva are the two players to watch out for.
• Captaincy: It hasn’t been the season that Athapaththu would have liked. She has failed with bat and ball.
• Batting Strength: The batting has been poor for Sri Lanka so far. They have not been able to score at the higher pace. Even in their own conditions, they have struggled with the bat, and that is one thing, which they need to work on.
• Bowling Attack: The bowling has been average for Sri Lanka. The problem is that they are not taking early wickets with the new ball. Inoka Ranaweera is the only bowler who has looked in good form.

Bangladesh Women Preview 

Bangladesh have been guilty of making too many mistakes. They have failed to compete at this level. They are very new to a stage like the World Cup, and that is visible in their performance. However, the way Sri Lanka have performed, Bangladesh will fancy their chances.

• Batting: Captain Nigar Sultana has failed with the bat, and other batters are not been able to contribute much. Only Sobhana Mostary has looked in good control and played some good innings.
• Bowling: The bowling has done better than the batting. They have good fast bowlers, and spinners are also taking wickets. But they need to learn the art of keeping up the pressure on the opposition batter.

Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai and Weather Report

This is the first of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at DY Patil Cricket Stadium in Navi Mumbai. This is an excellent pitch for batting. It is pretty flat and has a fast outfield. The warm weather might produce some help for the spinners as the pitch will be dry and the ball will break. But the teams that chase here end up winning more games.

There is no sign of rain on Monday. The temperature will be as high as 34°C. The expected humidity is likely to be between 55 and 65 percent.
