SL-W vs BAN-W Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter

Chamari Athapaththu: 

In the first innings of the previous game, Chamari Athapaththu hit the ground running as she got three sixes and two fours, scoring 38 off 28 balls. However, she was unable to convert it into a bigger knock as her innings soon came to a screeching halt. Despite this, she will be raring to perform well in the forthcoming T20I match.

Probable best bowler

Fahima Khatun: 

The 30-year-old leggie played an instrumental innings with the ball in the previous match as she claimed two scalps for just 20 runs in her four overs. It would not be a surprise if she comes all guns blazing in the next meeting and replicates a similar performance.
