Preview: Match 4 of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 will take place on Saturday, July 20, at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium in Dambulla between Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) and Bangladesh Women (BAN-W). Group B comprises Malaysia, Thailand, and both teams.
The team captained by Chamari Athapaththu recently engaged in a home white ball series against women from the West Indies. Despite this, the hosts prevailed 3-0 in the ODI series. However, the side was unable to maintain the same enthusiasm in the shortest format. Though they lost the series 2-1, the Lankans will be hoping to move on from their previous showings and compete well moving forward.

Venue: Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla
Date & Time: Saturday, July 20, 7:00 PM
Pitch Report: The Rangiri Dambulla surface has typically been slower, with spinners benefiting. For the seamers, the strip provides a considerable amount of bounce, making it difficult for batters to anticipate when batting. The team that wins the toss will bat first and try to put up a manageable score on the board.
