Sri Lanka begin a three-match women’s T20 International series against Pakistan at the Rangiri Dambulla Cricket Stadium today knowing that they have lost the last two bilateral series played between the two countries.
When the two teams last met in a bilateral series in Pakistan in 2022, the home team beat Sri Lanka 3-0. On an earlier occasion in 2018 in Sri Lanka, Pakistan pulled off a 2-1 win. Sri Lanka’s only success was in the UAE in 2015 when they won 2-1.
Overall, Pakistan leads by 11 wins to 9 with one no-result out of 21 matches played so far.
However, in the current ICC Women’s T20I team rankings Sri Lanka are in sixth position and Pakistan eighth.
The Sri Lankan team is presently on a roll with back to back victories in the WODI series which they won 2-1 and will go into today’s first WT20I at Rangiri Dambulla Cricket Stadium with their confidence levels very high.
Sri Lanka Cricket in a media release stated that all three matches played in the series will be free of charge with the gates open to the public. Matches commence at 10 am.
