England Women are set to face Sri Lanka Women in the 12th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The encounter promises to be an exciting battle, as both teams aim to strengthen their standings in the tournament.

The English side enter the contest with tremendous confidence, having secured convincing victories in their first two games. They have looked well-balanced in all departments, with their top order in fine touch and their bowling unit executing plans to perfection.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka will be hoping to bounce back and register their first win of the tournament. The hosts had a tough start, losing their opening match against India, but gained a valuable point after their second fixture against Australia was washed out due to rain.

R. Premadasa Stadium Pitch Report:

The R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo offers a balanced pitch that is generally flat in nature, providing consistent bounce early on. However, as the match progresses, the surface tends to deteriorate, favouring spinners due to slower and grippier conditions.

This will make spin bowling a significant factor in the middle overs. Pace bowlers are likely to get limited assistance from swing or seam on this subcontinental track, especially under day-night conditions.
