Preview: At the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla, Sri Lankan women will play Malaysian women in the seventh match of the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup.
Despite having faced the difficulty of chasing targets in their initial games, both teams have had remarkably contrasting starts to their seasons. The hosts defeated Bangladesh Women by a comfortable seven wickets after navigating their chase with relative ease. Malaysia Women, on the other hand, missed the mark by 22 runs, falling short of the goal set by Thailand Women.
In their three prior T20I meetings, these two sides faced off, with Sri Lanka Women winning by sizable margins of 90, 93, and 72 runs, respectively.
Womens Asia Cup T20, 2024, 7th T20 Match, SRI vs MAL
Venue: Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla
Date & Time: Monday, July 22, 2:00 PM
Pitch Report: Three times, as of the time of writing, teams batting second have prevailed over Jaha in the four matches that have been played thus far. Slowness has always been a defining feature of the track at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, and this has continued into current competition. There would be benefits to bowling first.
