Bangladesh Women will play Sri Lanka Women in the 2nd T20I match of the series at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on April 30. Sri Lanka Women are leading the series and will try to win this match and seal it, while Bangladesh Women will look to win and keep the series alive.

Bangladesh Women are not in good form right now. They lost the ODI series and also lost the first T20I by 25 runs. While chasing 162 runs, they could score only 136/7. Shorna Akter was the only bright spot with a solid 60-run knock. The team will need a much better all-round performance in this must-win game.


Sri Lanka Women, on the other hand, are in great form and full of confidence. They have now won three matches in a row, including the first T20I of this series. Batting first, they scored 161/4, with Imesha Dulani and Harshita Samarawickrama playing key innings. Chamari Athapaththu also helped with the ball as Sri Lanka won the match comfortably.

BAN-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report

The pitch in Sylhet International Cricket Stadium is balanced. Spinners get good help as the ball turns and moves slowly. Fast bowlers might have a good power play but the support can be less later on. Bounce can be low and variable, so accuracy is essential for bowlers. Batters usually need time to settle before playing big shots. The average first-innings score is around 140 to 155 runs.
