Australia vs Sri Lanka Women Predictions

Australia recovered from 128/5 to post 326 against New Zealand. They seem indestructible, so I am backing them to hammer Sri Lanka.

Head-to-Head

Australia Women have won all five of their last five matches against Sri Lanka.

Australia Women Form

Australia followed up their 2-1 series win over India by beating New Zealand in their World Cup opener.

Phoebe Litchfield (45 off 31) got the innings off to a great start before Australia slumped to 128/5. Ashleigh Gardner (115 off 83) rescued the innings with a magnificent 115 off 83 balls.

Sophie Molineux (3/25) struck early to put New Zealand on the back foot. Annabel Sutherland (3/26, econ 2.88) tied the New Zealand middle-order up as they were bowled out for 237 off 43.2 overs.

Phoebe Litchfield has been full of runs and will be a threat to Sri Lanka. Ashleigh Gardner scored a match-winning 115 off 83 balls against New Zealand batting at number six, but I doubt she will get much batting time against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Women Form

Sri Lanka suffered their third defeat on the bounce when they lost to India in their World Cup opener.

Inoka Ranaweera (4/46, econ 5.11) bowled superbly to knock over four of India’s top five to reduce them to 121/5. India’s tail wagged to lift them to 269/8 off their 47 overs.

Chamari Athapaththu (43 off 47) got Sri Lanka off to a good start and Nilakshika Silva (35 off 29) kept the chase going, but they couldn’t match India’s asking rate and fell 59 runs short.

Sri Lanka's bowlers are performing well but they need their batters to step up their game.

Verdict

Australia v Sri Lanka Women

I am backing Australia Women to win and Annabel Sutherland to be named Player of the Match. I am also backing Beth Mooney to top score for Australia Women.

Chamari Athapaththu is a good bet to top score for the Sri Lanka Women.
