SLW vs UGA-W Match Prediction & Analysis

This Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in Abu Dhabi has already provided plenty of memorable moments for the players and ers alike but, with only the two finalists securing qualification to the T20 World Cup in Bangladesh later this year, there is still plenty of tension in every game.

Sri Lanka Women may well be the leading side in Group A and one of only two sides across both groups to have a 100% record, but they know that they must have high standards throughout this tournament to ensure they do not get into any bad habits which could see them miss out on the final.

Overall the standard has been high in Abu Dhabi with only USA Women still yet to pick up a victory but Sri Lanka Women are the side who will come into this match with a huge amount of confidence.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Sri Lanka Women Preview

So far, so good for Sri Lanka Women who most pundits picked out ahead of the tournament as clearly the strongest side with the most quality and the most experience.

Their last game saw them brush aside Scotland Women, up until now, their closest challengers in Group A by 10 wickets with 59 balls remaining which was a clear sign of the gulf in class.

Kavisha Dilhari took the Player of the Match Award after taking 4/13 as well as three catches in the first innings of the game before skipper Chamari Athapaththu did her usual thing of showing the way for her side with an unbeaten 59 not out from only 35 balls!

This Sri Lanka Women side are playing excellent cricket in Abu Dhabi.

Sri Lanka Women Predicted Playing XI:

Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Hasini Perera, Hansima Karunaratne, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Kavisha Dilharim Nilakshika Silva, Sugandika Kumari, Achini Kulasuriya, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Udeshika Prabodhani

Sri Lanka Women Actual Playing XI:

Harshitha Madavi, Hasini Perera, Nilakshi de Silva, Vishmi Gunaratne, Anushka Sanjeewani, Inoka Ranaweera, Inoshi Fernando, Kawya Kavindi, Chamari Atapattu, Kavisha Dilhari, Shashini Gimhani

Uganda Women Preview

Uganda Women will have a tough time looking to bounce back from their heavy defeat against Thailand Women in their last match and this clash against Sri Lanka Women is likely to be a bridge too far.

They did not cover themselves in glory in their last game when they were bowled out for only 62 with only three of their batters making double-figure scores and none clearing the boundary for a maximum!

With the ball, only Sarah Akiteng comes into this fixture having taken a wicket in the last match and the bowling attack are going to have their work cut out against a talented Sri Lankan batting line-up.

Uganda Women Predicted Playing XI:

Prosscovia Alako, Immaculate Nakisuuyi, Janet Mbabazi (c), Stephani Nampiina, Rita Musamali, Kevin Awino (wk), Phiona Kulme, Malisa Ariokot, Sarah Walaza, Concy Aweko, Sarah Akiteng

Uganda Women Actual Playing XI:

Lorna Anyait, Stephani Nampiina, Janet Mbabazi, Immaculate Nakisuuyi, Kevin Awino, Prosscovia Alako, Phiona Kulume, Sarah Walaza, Ariokat Malisa, Rita Musamali, Consylate Aweko Nimungu

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Humidity levels will be over 50% throughout this match but the conditions look unlikely to change significantly across this contest. The temperature is forecast to be in the low thirties from start to finish.

SLW vs UGA-W Pitch Report

Although there is some turn for the spinners, predominantly this is a good wicket for pace bowlers and for the batters. Many teams have not shown it so far in the tournament but the pitches in Abu Dhabi are true wickets and we expect a par score to be 160+.

Toss: To Bowl

Uganda Women's only victory came when fielding first although Sri Lanka Women have already won when batting and fielding first in the tournament. We predict that both sides will want to bowl first in this match.
