Sri Lanka have a lot of expectations on their shoulders as the host of the Women’s Asian Cup 2024. They take on a struggling Bangladesh outfit who have ended up losing five consecutive games coming into this match. Bangladesh also have reasons to be concerned about their poor head-to-head record against Sri Lanka. In the 12 matches against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh have been on the losing side in nine matches. This does not bode well for Bangladeshi’s hopes of getting a good start to the tournament.
Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will be looking to get off to a good start with other group B –Malaysia and Thailand – having played their game a few hours earlier. Depending on the outcome of the game between Malaysia and Thailand, there could be significant motivation for Sri Lanka to pick up points from this opening match.

Sri Lanka have had an excellent 2024 so far with the team ing a victory in nine out of the 12 matches that they have played this year. Gone are the days when the team used to rely heavily on captain Chamari Athapaththu for positive results. Now, Sri Lanka have strength across the board and they have one of the strongest batting lineups in Group B.
Vishmi Gunaratne will be looking to continue her excellent form this year. From her 12 innings in 2024, Gunaratne has been able to come up with 324 runs. In the last 10 innings, the opening batter for Sri Lanka has been averaging 31.38. Since the powerplay overs can be a little tricky on this pitch, Sri Lanka will need the best from Gunaratne. Athapaththu has been averaging 40.44 in her last 10 games, which have yielded 364 runs.
Inoshi Priyadharshani will be the pick of the bowlers and she has come up with 12 wickets from her last eight games. Her total WT20I record is also impressive with 30 wickets from 25 innings at an economy rate of just 5.68.

Bangladesh are coming on the back of a string of disappointments in 2024 with the most recent coming in the WT20I series against India. After a crushing 5-0 loss in the series, Bangladesh are looking to bring back some pride and this will be the first involvement since the loss to India.
There is some decent experience in the Bangladeshi ranks with Nigar Sultana being a notable performer. Nigar Sultana has managed 1802 runs from her 90 innings at an average of 25.3. The 26-year-old, though, has managed to score in double figures in just one of the last four innings.
Dilara Akter is likely to be the big source of runs. She has been the batter on form with 117 runs from her last eight games. Even though Bangladesh have a lot of experience, most of their players are struggling for form.
Rabeya Khan has had better luck with the ball. The all-rounder can also be pretty useful for some quick runs towards the end of the game. She has picked up four wickets in his last two innings against India. They have helped take her WT20I haul to 26 wickets from 23 innings.

The overall pitch surface is likely to be friendly to the bowlers. The fast bowlers will get a lot of assistance in the early overs, which can end up producing the maximum wickets. The middle overs will feature enough for spinners. The weather conditions are expected to be partly cloudy with temperatures of around 33° C.

Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla will be the location for all games in the Asia Cup 2024. The ground has previously hosted only three WT20I games. The average first innings score from these three matches is 133 while the second innings score average comes at 124.
There may not be a sizeable difference between teams batting first and second. However, the teams batting second are likely to have slight difficulty dealing with spinners. The team winning the toss may choose to bat first.
Bangladesh Women have been struggling a lot in recent matches. Sri Lanka have shown decent form leading up to the tournament with three victories in the last five. There is a decent amount of experience in the Sri Lanka team. The strength in the batting line-up of Sri Lanka will ultimately swing the favour to the hosts.
Our prediction is for Sri Lanka Women to win
