That should have been stopped. Again a bit of width outside off, on a length. Hasini Perera\u00a0weighs back and cuts it along the ground, through backward point. The deep third fielder runs to her left, dives but ends up parrying the ball behind to the ropes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 15:06 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Marufa Akter to Hasini Perera : <\/b> FOUR!

A review is taken on the very first ball from Bangladesh Women\u00a0as they appealed for LBW, but the umpire turned down. The third umpire is called in, and there is no bat involved as she confirms after watching the replays. WOW! Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. The on-field decision gets overturned, and it is OUT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:58 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Done with the pre-match formalities, and now, it is time for the action to kick off in Navi Mumbai. The players of the\u00a0Bangladesh Women\u00a0form a final huddle before they disperse now, taking their respective positions, while the two openers of the\u00a0Sri Lanka Women\u00a0have stridden out as well. Vishmi Gunarathne\u00a0will open the innings alongside the skipper, Chamari Athapaththu.\u00a0Marufa Akter\u00a0has the new ball in her hands, and she will start the proceedings. Here we go\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:53 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Time for the national anthems. The flags have\u00a0been unfurled and the players of both teams, along with the match officials, have stridden out to line up. It will be Bangladesh\u2019s\u00a0first and then followed by Sri Lanka\u2019s national anthem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:43 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Sri Lanka\u2019s Vishmi Gunarathne\u00a0joins Jatin Sapru for a chat ahead of this crucial game. She says that they have been a bit unlucky with the rain back in Colombo, but\u00a0feels great to finally see some sunshine, and the team is eager to put up a better performance in this game in Navi Mumbai. She admits that the last couple of months haven\u2019t gone her way, but mentions that she has worked hard on getting her basics right and is now focused on execution. Vishmi adds that they have faced Bangladesh before in the Asia Cup and have studied their spin attack closely. She stresses that with a few games still to go, every match is crucial to win for them, and that they will\u00a0be giving their best to win this one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:42 IST<\/em><\/p>\n PITCH REPORT \u2013 Ian Bishop and Katie Martin are pitchside with the pitch report. Bishop starts off by saying that it\u2019s humid out here and conditions are going to test the players\u2019 fitness levels. Notes the ground dimensions \u2013 53 metres and 66 metres square, with 59 metres straight \u2013 suggest there\u2019ll be plenty of scoring opportunities, especially square of the wicket. Points out that the surface has a healthy covering of green grass, and being a red soil pitch, it might dry out a bit as the day goes on. Overall, he feels that it looks like a good wicket to bat on. Katie joins in, echoing Bishop\u2019s thoughts. Notes that there\u2019s a lot of green grass, which should give the fast bowlers some extra pace and bounce early on. However, she adds that there are visible footmarks that could create a bit of variable bounce later in the game. Concludes by saying that, overall, it looks like a good batting surface, but the bowlers might still have something to work with if they hit the right areas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:39 IST<\/em><\/p>\n The captain of Bangladesh Women, Nigar Sultana Joty, stresses that this is a very important game for them. She says that their\u00a0bowlers are doing well in the tournament and hopes that they will restrict Sri Lanka to a chaseable total. Appreciates her bowlers, especially the spinners, by calling them versatile. Also says that they have been good whenever she has needed them to step up. Adds that they just want to give their 100 percent.\u00a0Informs that they have two changes for this game as\u00a0Nahida Akter\u00a0and Marufa Akter come back in the side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:36 IST<\/em><\/p>\n The Sri Lankan skipper, Chamari Athapaththu, says that they have decided to bat first as the surface looks quite good for batting. Expresses strong confidence in her batting unit, believing they can make the most of the conditions. With a bright smile, she adds that after three or four days, it finally feels great to see some sunshine again, bringing a positive vibe into the camp. Mentions that Sri Lanka have played good cricket against Bangladesh in the past, and the key today will be executing their plans perfectly in the middle. Admits that the team has struggled a bit due to the constant rain interruptions, which have affected their rhythm, both before the start and during matches. Informs that Udeshika Prabodhani\u00a0comes back into the side, as they look for a stronger showing this time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:36 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Bangladesh Women (Playing XI) \u2013 Fargana Hoque, Rubya Haider, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana Joty (C\/WK), Sobhana Mostary, Mst Ritu Moni, Shorna Akter, Nahida Akter (In for Fariha Trisna), Rabeya Khan, Nishita Akter Nishi, and Marufa Akter (In for Fahima Khatun).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:35 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Sri Lanka Women (Playing XI) \u2013 Chamari Athapaththu (C), Vishmi Gunarathne, Hasini Perera, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshika Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (WK), Sugandika Kumari, Malki Madara, Inoka Ranaweera, and Udeshika Prabodhani (In for Piumi Wathsala).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:33 IST<\/em><\/p>\n TOSS UPDATE \u2013 The flip of the coin lands in favor of Sri Lanka Women\u00a0and Chamari Athapaththu\u00a0elects to BAT first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:19 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Qualification for Bangladesh isn\u2019t impossible mathematically. Win this. Win the next. Get to six points. Then cross fingers, toes, and everything else while hoping other results cascade favorably. That\u2019s the only scenario where they survive. Their bowling has kept them competitive, which is something. The spin department, led by veteran Fahima Khatun\u00a0and backed by youngsters Nahida Akter\u00a0and pacer\u00a0Marufa Akter, has been their most reliable asset. But the batting has been their undoing. Inconsistent is too kind. It\u2019s been a revolving door of underwhelming performances with occasional glimpses of competence. Sobhana Mostary\u00a0is the exception, the only batter showing up with two half-centuries and an average above 50. She\u2019s dragging Bangladesh forward while the rest struggle to keep pace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:15 IST<\/em><\/p>\n The numbers tell a one-sided story. Four ODI clashes, Sri Lanka leading 2-0, Bangladesh still waiting for that breakthrough win against them. Today could change that, or it could reinforce the pattern. Either way, context matters. Bangladesh are in their second-ever ODI World Cup, so even getting to the borderline of the top four and being relevant this deep into the tournament marks serious progress for Nigar Sultana Joty\u2019s\u00a0girls. The DY Patil Stadium hosts its first women\u2019s ODI today and gets rewarded with a fixture that carries elimination weight. Both teams bring spin-heavy attacks, deep benches of slow bowlers who\u2019ll fancy their odds here. Whoever masters the spin duel, the queenmaker battle, if we\u2019re being poetic about it, walks away winning. Toss and teams coming up. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:10 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Sri Lanka have been fighting two adversaries this tournament. Their opposition and the weather. Rain has sabotaged nearly every outing, leaving them with just one complete match to show for their efforts. Still, there\u2019s been a silver lining hiding in the storm clouds. The Chamari Athapaththu\u00a0dependency issue that everyone circled in red before the tournament? It\u2019s being quietly solved. Harshitha Samarawickrama, Vishmi Gunarathne, and Nilakshika Silva\u00a0have become batting mainstays, sharing the load instead of dumping it all on their captain. While Inoka Ranaweera\u00a0and Udeshika Prabodhani\u00a0have been instrumental with the ball. But it all boils down to converting pressure moments into winning moments with a collective effort through both departments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:07 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Both sides are sitting at the table\u2019s basement, both got here via different routes of pain, and both are coming off losing their previous matches by 10 wickets. Sri Lanka Women watched their World Cup campaign get monsoon-wrecked in Colombo, with two important matches vanishing into washouts. Navi Mumbai at least promises them actual cricket, even if it comes with humidity. They haven\u2019t won anything yet. Not once. One of two teams still stuck on zero in the wins column. Bangladesh Women have been the nearly team. They\u2019ve got one win, against Pakistan, and then,\u00a0a highlight reel of moments where they troubled the big names but couldn\u2019t finish the job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 20, 2025 14:02 IST<\/em><\/p>\n The ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2025 has turned into a high-stakes poker game where two players are about to go all-in, and one\u2019s going broke. Australia, England and South Africa have already cashed out with semi-final spots. Only one spot remains on the table, and five teams fight for that. The DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai breaks into this World Cup action as the fifth venue, with Match 21, throwing a subcontinental clash between Sri Lanka Women\u00a0and Bangladesh Women\u00a0into a winner-takes-all scenario that\u2019s brutal in its simplicity. No safety nets. No room for error. On that note, hello and a warm welcome to our coverage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Oct 19, 2025 13:44 IST<\/em><\/p>\n Match 21 of the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2025 brings a vital clash between two subcontinental rivals, Sri Lanka Women and Bangladesh Women. Set to take place at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai, this fixture is basically a do-or-die encounter for both sides as they desperately seek to ignite their campaign and keep their faint hopes of a semi-final berth alive. Both teams arrive in Navi Mumbai in a precarious position on the points table, level on two points each, mostly garnered through washed-out matches earlier in the tournament. Sri Lanka, the co-hosts of the event, have endured a tough run, including a disappointing 10-wicket hammering against South Africa in their last, rain-truncated outing. Similarly, Bangladesh, despite a historic win against Pakistan, have been unable to consistently challenge the top-tier sides, though they have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly in their close encounters with the likes of South Africa and England. Chamari Athapaththu\u2019s Sri Lankan side has demonstrated that they possess the batting power, evident in their strong total of 258\/6 against New Zealand (a match that was ultimately washed out). However, their performance in completed matches has been inconsistent. The weight of expectation falls heavily on their captain, Chamari Athapaththu, whose aggressive starts are key to setting the tone. Bangladesh, led by Nigar Sultana Joty, will draw confidence from their historical win over Pakistan and the competitive scores they managed against stronger opponents. They\u2019ve shown resilience and a never-say-die attitude that could be their biggest asset in this high-stakes game. Their primary focus will be on tightening up their fielding, an area where they have struggled, and replicating their solid batting efforts. In recent ODI encounters, the rivalry has been closely contested, with Bangladesh securing a tight 1-run win in a recent warm-up game, suggesting that the gap between the two teams is closing rapidly. Historically, Sri Lanka holds an edge, but the recent results underscore the competitive nature of this fixture.
