PAK-W vs SL-W, Women's T20 World Cup 2024: Match Preview, Probable XI, Head-to-Head Stats

The second clash on the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024’s opening day will see Pakistan take on Sri Lanka. Pakistan have endured several heartbreaking defeats at the ICC event in the past editions. While their chances of making the playoff stage are still quite low, the Asian giants could pull off a few upsets in the campaign.

Pakistan failed to show up in the recent warm-up game against Bangladesh, losing the fixture by 23 runs. Omaima Sohail was the best batter on the Pakistan team, as she racked up 33 runs in the losing effort. It remains to be seen if they can catch Sri Lanka by surprise on Thursday.

The Women’s T20 World Cup clash between Pakistan and Sri Lanka will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 3.

Sri Lanka have never made the final of the Women’s T20 World Cup in the past eight editions. They recently put up a dominant show against Scotland in a warm-up fixture.

Boasting a strong bowling unit, Sri Lanka could be a huge threat to big teams competing at the event. Sri Lanka also be eyeing the semi-final spot at the Women’s World Cup. A victory against Pakistan will help them generate some early momentum.
