Sri Lanka Vs Bangladesh Preview
Sri Lanka Women head to Dubai in commanding form, having secured consecutive wins and built a formidable net run rate of +4.129. Chamari Athapaththu's team currently lead Group B after opening their campaign with a nine-wicket rout of hosts United Arab Emirates before being pushed harder by Indonesia.
Sri Lanka's innings appeared to be heading towards a modest total on a sluggish track until Nilakshika Silva launched a counter-attack, recording a valuable fifty in a total of 124 for 7. Athapaththu took centre stage in the second innings, ripping through Indonesia with career-best figures of 7 for 5. Her hat-trick helped bowl Indonesia out for 49 and secure a comprehensive 75-run victory.
Bangladesh will provide a stern test for Sri Lanka after making an emphatic start to their campaign. Nigar Sultana's team opened with a 71-run victory against Asia Cup debutants Indonesia, setting the tone with a composed batting display. Sobhana Mostary marked her 100th international appearance with a 40, while Shorna Akter added valuable late runs with a 31 to take Bangladesh to 129 for 8.
Bangladesh's bowlers then made their mark, led by Marufa Akter, whose impressive new-ball spell produced 2 for 6. Left-arm spinner Nahida Akter followed up with 3 for 15 to clean up the lower order.
Bangladesh have two points on the board and a strong net run rate of +3.550, leaving them within touching distance of the semi-finals. A win over Sri Lanka would put Nigar Sultana's side in an almost unassailable position.
Their spin-led attack, with Nahida Akter, Fahima Khatun and Sanjida Akter Meghla among the key options, could prove particularly effective on a surface in Dubai expected to offer plenty of grip, while also posing questions for Sri Lanka's formidable top order.
