WI-W vs SL-W Betting Tips
op batter of the match to be from Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka's batting lineup has shown superior consistency recently compared to the hosts. With in-form players like Harshitha Samarawickrama and the explosive Chamari Athapaththu at the top of the order, backing a Sri Lankan player to top the scoring charts offers great value.
Chamari Athapaththu to score more runs than Hayley Matthews
While Hayley Matthews is a world-class player, she is returning from an injury layoff and may display some rustiness. In contrast, Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu has been playing regularly and is in good rhythm, making her the favorite in this head-to-head battle.

WI-W vs SL-W Team Previews
West Indies Women
The hosts enter this series in worrying form, having suffered defeats in four of their last five ODI matches. Their most recent outing was a crushing 166-run loss to South Africa. In that match, the West Indies conceded 278 runs before crumbling to 121 all out, with only lower-order resistance from Aaliyah Alleyne and Jahzara Claxton preventing a lower total.
The biggest news for the Windies is the return of star all-rounder Hayley Matthews after an injury layoff. She remains their most critical player, averaging 49.00 with the bat in her last nine games while also picking up 19 wickets. She will be supported by Afy Fletcher, who has been the standout bowler recently with 20 wickets in her last 10 games.

Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka arrives with mixed recent results (two no-results, one win, two losses in their last five), but their psychological edge over the West Indies is significant due to their three-match winning streak against them. They are also coming off a morale-boosting 7-run victory over Bangladesh Women, where their bowlers successfully defended a modest total of 202.
Harshitha Samarawickrama has been the rock of the batting lineup, scoring 441 runs in her last 13 innings at an average of 36.75. Captain Chamari Athapaththu remains the focal point of the team; she has scored 332 runs in her last 13 innings and is equally effective with the ball, taking 13 wickets in her last 11 games. Spinner Sugandika Kumari will also be key on Caribbean surfaces.
Sri Lanka Women Expected Playing 11
Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Hasini Perera, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshika Silva, Kaushini Nuthyangana (wk), Sugandika Kumari, Imesha Dulani, Malki Madara, Inoka Ranaweera.
WI-W vs SL-W Toss Prediction
In the three Women's ODIs played at the National Cricket Stadium in Grenada, two have been won by the chasing side. Given the threat of rain and DLS adjustments, the captain winning the toss will almost certainly opt to field first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch in Grenada typically offers early assistance to seam bowlers, with lateral movement available with the new ball. However, as the game progresses, spinners are expected to come into play.
Weather forecasts suggest a possibility of drizzle and interruptions, meaning the DLS method could influence the result.
WI-W vs SL-W : Who Will Win?
Despite holding the home advantage, the West Indies Women appear vulnerable. They have lost back-to-back games leading into this series and have struggled specifically against Sri Lanka in recent meetings. Sri Lanka, conversely, showed grit in their win against Bangladesh and possesses a balanced side. At excellent odds on offer, the value lies with the visitors.
Bet on Sri Lanka Women to win.
