Sri Lanka Women vs Australia Women Today Match Prediction & Analysis
All signs point towards a challenging encounter for the home team. Australia’s clinical all-round performance against New Zealand, contrasted with Sri Lanka’s batting collapse against India, highlights the gulf in current form and confidence. The historical record, which shows Australia winning all 11 previous ODIs between the two, further tilts the scales heavily in the defending champions’ favour.
Based on recent form, squad depth, and historical dominance, Australia Women are the overwhelming favourites to win this match.

SL-W vs AUS- W Teams Preview
Sri Lanka Women
The hosts are under immediate pressure after a 59-run loss to India where their batting lineup faltered significantly. With a negative Net Run Rate of -1.255 and a historical record of never having beaten Australia, the task is monumental. Their success will heavily rely on a strong performance from their captain, Chamari Athapaththu, and a more resilient showing from the middle order.
SL-W Probable Playing XI:
Chamari Athapaththu (C), Hasini Perera, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Vishmi Gunaratne, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (WK), Achini Kulasuriya, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera
Top Player to bat on– Chamari Athapaththu & Inoka Ranaweera
Australia Women
Australia began their title defence in emphatic fashion with an 89-run thrashing of arch-rivals New Zealand. Posting a massive 326 runs, powered by Ashleigh Gardner’s brilliant century, and then bowling out a strong side demonstrates their well-oiled machinery. The team is high on confidence and has all bases covered.
AUS-W Probable Playing XI:
Alyssa Healy (WK & C), Phoebe Litchfield, Ellyse Perry, Beth Mooney, Annabel Sutherland, Ashleigh Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, Sophie Molineux, Alana King, Kim Garth, Darcie Brown
Top Player to bat on: Ashleigh Gardner & Tahlia McGrath
