Pitch Report

The pitch at Southend Stadium is assisting the slow bowlers and the skipper winning the toss might want to have a bat first and post a competitive total to defend it later. As it is a day game, the dew factor is not expected to play a part. A score of 130-140 is expected to be a winning total on that pitch.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match: Chamari Athapaththu

Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu only managed to score six runs in the series opener and will want to improve her performance with the bat in the upcoming match. Athapaththu holds a lot of experience and has played some mesmerizing knocks in the past. The left-handed batter will want to provide a good start to his team in this encounter.

Probable best bowler of the match: Anam Amin

Left-arm spinner Anam Amin was the pick of the bowlers for the home side in the first T20I. The 29-year-old scalped a total of three wickets and gave away just 21 runs in her four-over quota. Coming to the second match, she will definitely want to emulate her performance.
