Sri Lanka women’s cricket team T20 WC group details
The Islanders are placed in Group A alongside defending champions Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, and India.
Experienced player in the form of Inoka Ranaweera has also been called up in the squad for Sri Lanka’s campaign which will provide the young players an insight into playing at the highest level of the game.
Apart from winning the Asia Cup in July this year, Sri Lanka have also clinched the white-ball series against England and South Africa for the first time ever in any format which is a sign of good things to come from the side.
Sri Lanka qualified for the 9th edition of the tournament by finishing as the third best placed in their 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup group. They would be hoping to go past the group stage this time.
