ENG-W vs SL-W: Pitch Report
The surface at Premadasa Stadium is a tough wicket to bat on. It has swing with the new ball, and spinners will get a good amount of turn. The wicket is slightly slow, which produces uneven bounce, making it difficult to time the shots as well. Batting second is a good choice here, also because of the overcast conditions.

ENG-W vs SL-W: Probable Best Batter
England Women: Heather Knight played a match-saving innings for England and took her team over the line against Bangladesh. She is coming off a Man of the Match performance, and that is what you need when the pressure is on.
Sri Lanka Women: Chamari Athapaththu is Sri Lanka's key batter at the top. She has yet to show her full potential, but her team wants her to get set, and it will put pressure on the opposition.
ENG-W vs SL-W: Probable Best Bowler
England Women: Sophie Ecclestone is the no. 1 ranked bowler in this format. Leg-spinners have found success in this tournament, and in Colombo, she can be a very difficult bowler to face.
Sri Lanka Women: Inoka Ranaweera had a great first game, and she took 4/46 against India. Being a leg-spinner, she will get more out of this pitch.
ENG-W vs SL-W Today’s Match Prediction: Sri Lanka have a pretty decent spin attack, but taking wickets with the new ball can be a challenge for them. Adding to that, Sri Lanka are slightly weaker when it comes to power hitting or batting under pressure. That is why their record against higher-ranked teams is very minimal. England Women have shown that they have the ingredients to win under pressure, as they did in the last game. So, they will start this game as clear favorites on Saturday.
