Women’s Asia T20 2022

   Match 2: IN-W vs SL-W 

Preview 

The second game of the Women’s Asia T20 2022 will feature IN-W lock horns with SL-W. The Sylhest Outer Cricket Stadium in Sylhet will host this riveting contest. Having whitewashed England at their home, the women in blue will be riding high on confidence. They registered a 3-0 series win in the recently concluded ODI series. However, they lost the three-match T20I series by a 2-1 margin. 

Harmanpreet Kaur will lead this side who are one of the most ferocious contenders to lift the Asia T20 title. The likes of Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma have an abundance of experience, which will prove beneficial. The Indian unit will be desperate to kick start their campaign on a winning note. 

SL-W, on the other hand, have looked rusty in recent matches. Their most recent fixture came against South Africa Women in Commonwealth Games Women’s Cricket Competition 2022. They were knocked out of the tournament on the back of a series of disappointing performances. 

Chamari Athapaththu led Sri Lanka Women need to come up with an inspirational performance to open their account. They rely heavily on their skipper which has hurt them in recent matches. Other players must step up and make noteworthy contributions to challenge the Indian side on Saturday.
