Bangladesh Women vs Sri Lanka Women, 3rd ODI – Sri Lanka Women Tour of Bangladesh 2026

Saturday, April 25, 2026 | 09:00 AM Local Time (04:30 PM IST) | Shahid Kamruzzaman Stadium, Rajshahi

The decider in this gripping three-match ODI series between Bangladesh Women and Sri Lanka Women is set to unfold at the Shahid Kamruzzaman Stadium in Rajshahi, with the series locked at 1-1. Bangladesh pulled off a thrilling three-wicket victory in the opener on April 20, chasing down 206 with Rabeya Khan and Nahida Akter starring in the chase, while Sri Lanka hit back emphatically in the second ODI on April 22, securing a four-wicket win after bowling Bangladesh out for 165. This third clash carries massive stakes—not just for series bragging rights but also for momentum heading into future bilateral tours and ICC events, as both sides look to assert dominance in South Asian women’s cricket. With Bangladesh hosting, the home crowd will be roaring, but Sri Lanka’s experience could prove decisive.

Pitch Report and Weather Update
The Shahid Kamruzzaman Stadium pitch is known for its hard, bouncy surface that assists fast bowlers early on, offering good carry and seam movement before settling into a slower track where spinners dominate as the game wears on. In the first two ODIs here, totals around 200 proved competitive, with chasing sides edging it slightly—teams batting second won both matches. Expect a balanced surface favoring disciplined bowling and steady batting. Weather-wise, Rajshahi in late April is hot and humid, with daytime highs around 35-37°C dropping to 25°C in the evening, low chances of rain (about 40mm monthly average), and partly cloudy skies with 8 hours of sunshine—perfect for uninterrupted play, though dew could factor in under lights.

Both teams enter this finale in good touch after splitting the series. Bangladesh’s opener win showcased resilience, with their bowlers restricting Sri Lanka to 205/9 and the batters grinding out a chase despite wickets tumbling. However, their second outing exposed batting frailties against Sri Lanka’s spin attack, collapsing to 165. Key talking points include Bangladesh’s home advantage and spin duo Rabeya Khan (who took crucial wickets in game one) versus Sri Lanka’s explosive top order, led by Chamari Athapaththu, who has been in ominous form. Sri Lanka’s momentum from the second win—chasing 166 comfortably—gives them confidence, but their bowling needs to fire collectively after leaking runs in the opener. Recent form also highlights Bangladesh’s improvement in chases, while Sri Lanka boasts better depth in ODIs.

Head-to-Head Summary
In ODIs, Sri Lanka Women hold a clear edge over Bangladesh Women, winning 4 out of 6 encounters, with Bangladesh claiming 1 victory and 1 no-result. Overall head-to-head across formats shows Sri Lanka’s dominance (around 66% win rate), but Bangladesh has troubled them recently, including that famous chase in the opener here. Last five ODI meetings: Sri Lanka won the most recent prior to this series (by wickets in Colombo), Bangladesh edged a low-scorer, one tie/no-result, and Sri Lanka victories in the other two—pointing to tight contests.

Bangladesh Women Team Analysis
Bangladesh have grown into a competitive unit at home, blending youth with experience under Nigar Sultana’s calm captaincy. Strengths lie in their spin bowling—Rabeya Khan (recent wickets haul) and Nahida Akter form a potent pair on turning tracks—and middle-order grit shown in the chase. Weaknesses? Top-order inconsistency, as seen in the second ODI collapse, and vulnerability to pace early. Key players: Nigar Sultana (reliable anchor), Sobhana Mostary (aggressive batter), Ritu Moni (all-rounder with wickets), and Sultana Khatun (lower-order hitter). Recent performances: 3-wicket win in opener boosts morale, but 165 all-out in second highlights need for stability.

Sri Lanka Women Team Analysis
Sri Lanka, led by the dynamic Chamari Athapaththu, bring pedigree and firepower. Their batting depth is a major strength—Harshitha Samarawickrama and Hasini Perera complement Chamari’s aggression—while spin options like Kavisha Dilhari and Dewmi Vihanga troubled Bangladesh recently. Weaknesses include occasional bowling leaks (205/9 in opener) and reliance on top three. Key players: Chamari Athapaththu (match-winner with bat/ball), Imesha Dulani (emerging talent), Kaushini Nuthyangana (wicketkeeper-batter), and Malki Madara (pace threat). Recent momentum: Convincing chase in second ODI after a narrow loss, underlining their chasing prowess.

Probable Playing XI

Bangladesh Women:
Juairiya Ferdous, Sarmin Sultana, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana (C), Sobhana Mostary, Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, Sultana Khatun

Sri Lanka Women:
Hasini Perera, Chamari Athapaththu (C), Imesha Dulani, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshika Silva, Kaushini Nuthyangana, Dewmi Vihanga, Malki Madara, Inoka Ranaweera

Match Prediction
This series decider hinges on the middle overs, where spin will rule on the Rajshahi pitch. Sri Lanka’s superior head-to-head record, batting firepower, and recent chase make them slight favorites, especially if Chamari fires. Bangladesh’s home spin edge and opener heroics could level it, but expect Sri Lanka to edge a close contest by 20-30 runs if batting first or comfortably chasing. Prediction: Sri Lanka Women win the series 2-1
