SL-W vs PAK-W Match Prediction: Match 25, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report & More – ICC Women’s World Cup 2025

SL-W vs PAK-W: The next game of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will be played between Sri Lanka Women and Pakistan Women. This game is a virtually dead rubber match, as Pakistan have already been eliminated. Sri Lanka have an outside chance, but it is almost impossible. This match will begin at 3 PM IST on Friday at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details about this game.

Sri Lanka Women Preview 

Sri Lanka Women were struggling until they beat Bangladesh Women. That has put them with an outside chance in the race to the semifinal. They will now be looking to get back on and win their final group game against Pakistan to get two more points from this game.

• Key Batters: Hasini Perera and Chamari Athapaththu did well with the bat in the last game, and they will be the ones to watch out for.
• Captaincy: Captain Chamari Athapaththu started the tournament with low scores, but it seems she is getting into the rhythm, which is a good sign for Sri Lanka.
• Batting Strength: The batting has done pretty well in the last few games. Their top order has batted well, but the middle order has to come into the party. They need runs from the lower middle order as well.
• Bowling Attack: The bowling did excellent work in the last game. They pulled off an incredible win and defended the target, which looked difficult at one stage.

Pakistan Women Preview 

Pakistan Women have been the poorest team of this competition. They are the only team that have not won a single game. This is their last game of this tournament, which has been disappointing for them. Can they regroup and put up some fight to end the tournament with a win?

• Batting: The batting has been the biggest disappointment for Pakistan. They don’t have batters who have even scored a total of 100 runs in the entire tournament. Only Sidra Ameen has been able to do this.
• Bowling: Bowling has been the better suit for Pakistan. Fatima Sana, Nashra Sandhu, Diana Baig, and others have stuck to the plans most of the time and done well.

Match Details – Sri Lanka Women vs Pakistan Women, 25th Match

R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo and Weather Report

R. Premadasa Stadium has been a happy hunting ground for the bowling sides. Pace bowlers have enough to exploit from the pitch with the new ball. It has good swing movement early on. Spinners, with the old ball, are more effective as the game goes on. Batting has been challenging because of the overhead weather and slow conditions.

The forecast shows that there are strong chances of rain on Friday afternoon in Colombo. Already 3 games have been washed out here, and we might see another one here. The temperature will be around 28-30°C with 82 percent humidity.

SL-W vs PAK-W Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
