Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka, Women's T20 World Cup 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details

The fifth match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 will see Bangladesh Women take on Sri Lanka Women at Newlands in Cape Town in a Group A fixture.

Bangladesh Women have struggled a bit in recent times in the shortest format. They lost both their warm-up fixtures and will be eager to turn the tables around in the showpiece event.

Nigar Sultana has been handed the responsibility of leading the side in the T20 World Cup 2023. The likes of Murshida Khatun, Rumana Ahmed, Salma Khatun, and Jahanara Alam will have to step up against the upbeat Lankan side in their opening clash.

Sri Lanka Women, on the other hand, got off to a perfect start in their T20 World Cup 2023 campaign. They beat hosts South Africa Women in their first game in a closely fought contest.

After being asked to bat first, Chamari Athapaththu scored 68 to guide her team to 129 on the board. The bowlers then bowled brilliantly to restrict South Africa Women to 126/9 for a three-run win. They will look to carry forward the winning momentum into their next clash.
