ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025: SA-W vs SL-W Today Match Prediction – 18th Match, Who Will Win Today?

South Africa Women and Sri Lanka Women will be facing off in the 18th ODI of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025. The match between SA-W and SL-W is scheduled to take place on Friday at R. Premadasa Cricket Stadium.

The South African side will be looking to win its fourth straight game against the Sri Lankan women. Considering their current form, we expect nothing short of a dominating performance in Colombo. The Sri Lankan bowlers pose a tough challenge, but their recent successes in chasing targets should boost their confidence in the batting. 

Sri Lankan women have lost two of their four matches so far, while the others have been washed out. In their last game before the rain stopped play, Sri Lanka showed a much better performance after struggling with the bat throughout the tournament.
