SL-W vs BAN-W Match Preview

As the host of the Women’s Asian Cup 2024, Sri Lanka will face high expectations. They face a struggling Bangladeshi team that has lost five consecutive games heading into this match. Bangladesh has reason to be concerned with its poor head-to-head performance against Sri Lanka. Bangladesh has lost nine of its 12 matches against Sri Lanka. This does not bode well for Bangladesh’s chances of making a strong start to the tournament. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh are both looking to get off to a good start, as Malaysia and Thailand have already played their games. Depending on the outcome of Malaysia’s game against Thailand, Sri Lanka may have significant motivation to pick up points in this opening match.
