Pakistan Women:
The squad is very talented and a couple of players have being doing well in their respective forms up to this clash.
– The most experienced all-rounder in their line-up, Nida Dar has been the stand-out player. The all-rounder who not only bowls handy off-spin but also battering abilities is important for Pakistan in the middle order.
1 Muneeba Ali: An opener who has given Pakistan good starts and that is what Bangladesh is looking for again, in order to get their innings off to a solid start.

The Psl-leading pace combined with the thrilling spin attack means Sri Lanka will find difficult to survive against Pakistan. Their best players have shown that they can handle pressure, which makes them great contenders.
Sri Lanka Women:
A lot rests of the few star performers in Sri Lanka Women, and their form will be key to a rolling side.
Sunshine – Chamari Athapaththu- the skipper and the sri lankan line-up strength with magnificent allround performance. If she gets going early, she will be the biggest threat for Pakistan.
Harshitha Madavi has also proven to be a safe batter for Sri Lanka, able to anchor an innings and help out her captain.
Sugandika Kumari, their left-arm spinner in particular is a bit of an awkward customer, especially on slow surfaces where he can get some grip and turn.
These players has to resigned from their form of last series win against SoUtH AFRicA, if they want to give Sri Lanka a fighting chance.
3. Top Performing Players
Nida Dar (Pakistan Women): An experienced all-rounder who bowls at tight lines and a powerful hitter with the bat, she has been a key player for Pakistan. Top Performer to Watch : Anya Shrubsole— Her game changing ability in the middle overs makes her a high value performer
Chamari Athapaththu – Sri Lanka Women: The skipper of the Sri Lankan women’s team herself has been one who has delivered for her side more often than not, taking on the responsibility of both batting and bowling. The left-hander will play an important role in deciding how Sri Lanka’s innings goes.
Fatima Sana (Pakistan Women): One of Pakistan’s budding bowlers, Fatima has been among the wickets from as early as the powerplay stages, hence an important part of Pakistan’s quick successes.
Sugandika Kumari (Sri Lanka Women): Gifted in partnerships with her left-arm spin, Kumari is a must-watch player for Sri Lanka especially if the pitch has some turn.
4. Team’s Form Detail
Pakistan Women:
Pakistan Women were not too bad also in the lead-up to the World Cup. There have been one or two scares for them, but they defend small totals like pros. Pakistan’s consistent bowling and inconsistent batting. Nida Dar has been holding the middle order together; the batters coming in right below her will have to weather a potential storm if early wickets go down.
Sri Lanka Women:
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have been inconsistent to say the least — there are high points if Chamari Athapaththu can fire but they often look over reliant on a few key players. Meanwhile, if they want to win then both the batsmen of top order and their bowlers will have to contribute equally.
5. Pitch and Ground Conditions:
Match: Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet (Home of the Sylhet Sixers) The pitches here have historically turned and in the T20 format especially, that can happen quite a bit making it tough for batsmen who are used to pace.
Pitch Behavior:
Anticipate a slow track and the spinners should enjoy bowling here. But batsman will need to bide their time and assess the conditions before going on the offensive. Both teams, particularly with the new ball available, will hope to cash in during the powerplay.
Average Score:
The average first-innings total across 12 matches at Sylhet is between the 130-mark and low-140, therefore anything over that will be challenging. This has been a good chasing ground but the team batting first will like to rather put pressure on the opposition with runs on board.
6. Audience can win the match
In cricket, especially on a stage like the T20 World Cup, crowd support is quite important. Neither Pakistan, nor Sri Lanka are playing at home and the Bangladeshi crowd has always supported subcontinent teams traditionally. This would balance the both teams but if any then Pakistan may take a leading edge due to their close distance and huge expatriate population in Bangladesh.
What is sure to be an electric atmosphere (a scene that will likely add even more pressure on some of the younger guys) But more experienced players, the types that can handle all the noise and intensity, will stand a better chance of flourishing in such circumstances.
7. Top Tricks for Pakistan and Sri Lanka to Win
Pakistan’s Path to Victory
- Use spin tauk: Drop down heavy weight with their full-fledged suit of spinners to dominate the middle overs.
- Top Order Performance: Get a good opening partnership especially from Muneeba Ali and Sidra Ameen.
- Nida Dar the Alrounder: Make use of Nida Dar as a bowler in crucial overs and a 1-down order.
The route to success for Sri Lanka :
- Chamari Athapaththu’s Leadership: Chamari will have to guide the team from the front with her performance both with bat and ball.
- Pill-to-Pill Bowling Partnership: Kumari and Ranaweera should replicate what the bowl is getting them and restrict the middle-order batters of Pakistan.
- Sri Lanka will want to tighten up their fielding and take the half chances that come their way
Conclusion
Pakistan Women and Sri Lanka Women both have their pros and cons, which makes this an interesting clash in the ICC T20 Women’s World Cup 2024. With the kind of form Pakistan is in and their spinning abilities, there is a slight advantage on their side but one can never ignore Sri Lanka as well especially if Chamari Athapaththu turns up. This is likely to be a closely-fought, low-scoring match in which whoever copes with the pressure best seems certain to come out on top.
