Sri Lanka Vs Bangladesh Women Match Preview & Prediction
Sri Lanka take on Bangladesh in the 3rd and final game of this 3-match ODI series. This will be the 4th H2H meeting between the 2 teams, with SL emerging victorious in both the completed fixtures. With rain abandoning the 1st 2 ODIs, it was decided that the 2nd & 3rd ODIs will be rescheduled. In the rescheduled 2nd ODI, SL emerged victorious by 58 runs in a shortened game due to rain, and will now look to wrap up the series. With this series being a part of the ICC WODI Championships, even if SL were 2-0 ahead, this game wouldn’t have been a dead rubber by any means with 2 important points up for grabs for both sides.
