Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: Match 2, Pakistan-W vs Sri Lanka-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between PAK-W vs SL-W?
MATCH: Pakistan Women vs Sri Lanka Women
DATE: October 03,Thursday
TIME: 7:30 PM IST
VENUE: Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
TOURNAMENT: 2nd T20 2024
The current Asia Champions Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) will take on Pakistan Women (PAK-W) in match 2 of the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, on Thursday, October 3, in Sharjah. Both sides have struggled in ICC tournaments previously and to change that, they need a good start to the tournament. Sri Lanka have won both their warm-up games and will be hoping for a good start but when it comes to Pakistan, they are in a difficult spot at the moment.
Pakistan lost both of their warm-up games against Bangladesh and Scotland, which is concerning. Leading up to the tournament, PCB removed Nida Dar as captain, which might have affected the results but new captain Fatima Sana is confident of a positive outcome in the tournament.

Probable Top Performers from PAK-W vs SL-W
Probable Best Batter: Chamari Athapaththu
Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu will be their most important player of the tournament. The team’s success also depends on how Chamari fairs in the tournament. She has represented Sri Lanka in 139 T20I matches and scored 3,326 runs at a strike rate of 110.90. He also has 56 wickets to her name in the shortest format.
Probable Best Bowler: Sugandika Kumari
Slow left-arm orthodox spinner Sugandika Kumari can wreak havoc against Pakistan. She has done well in the warm-up game against Bangladesh, in which the 32-year-old picked up three wickets and will be hoping to continue in the same manner.
