Defending champions Australia and Women’s Asia Cup holders Sri Lanka are set to lock horns against each other in match No. 5 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, October 5.

The Australian women’s cricket team has long set the standard for excellence, having clinched six titles out of the tournament’s eight editions.

Now, as they aim for their seventh championship, they will look to continue their dominance on the world stage. This time, skipper Alyssa Healy will lead the squad, taking over the reins from the iconic Meg Lanning, and she is committed to maintaining the team’s winning tradition.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka has already kicked off their campaign but faced a setback in their opener. Chamari Athapaththu and her side were outclassed by Pakistan, falling 31 runs short in a chase of what seemed a manageable 117-run target.

As reigning Women’s Asia Cup champions, Sri Lanka will be eager to put this defeat behind them and bounce back quickly. With a challenging group that includes formidable teams like Australia, India, and Pakistan, there is little room for error moving forward.
