England Women vs Sri Lanka Women Toss Prediction
The County Ground in Derby usually favours the team batting first. Six out of the nine women’s T20Is played here were won by the side batting first. The skippers will look to bat first and score a big target.
Weather Report
The weather in Derby will be mostly cloudy, but will remain warm and humid. These conditions will enable seamers to get plenty of movement off the air, making things difficult for batters. Spinners will need to keep their lines tight because batters will try to attack them in the middle overs.

England Women scored 77 & 6 runs before their first dismissal in the two T20Is. The opening duo of Danni Wyatt and Maia Bouchier were fantastic in the first fixture and scored 48 & 22 runs respectively in the game.

England Women vs Sri Lanka Women Best Batters
Dani Wyatt to be England Women’s Best Batter
Danielle Wyatt finished as the leading run-scorer in the Women’s Hundred 2023 with 295 runs for the Southern Brave. She was fantastic in the 1st T20I as well, smashing 48 runs off 30 balls. Although she was dismissed at 1 in the previous game, she will be keen on coming back on and score a bundle of runs in the third match.
Chamari Athapaththu to be Sri Lanka Women’s Best Batter
Chamari Athapaththu averages at 22.60 in the WT20Is with a ton of experience on her back. She stayed for a very short duration on the crease in the first game but knocked an impeccable innings in the 2nd T20I. In that game, she struck 55 runs off 31 balls to help her team win the game.
England Women vs Sri Lanka Women Best Bowlers
Alice Capsey to be England Women’s Best Bowler
Being an all-rounder has helped in reading the batters well in the matches for Alice Capsey. She has picked a single wicket like others in her squad in the ongoing series but bowled the most economical spells of all. She maintains an economy rate of 4.66 in the series.
Kavisha Dilhari to be Sri Lanka Women’s Best Bowler
Kavisha Dilhari is a very young and experienced bowler from the squad and was very effective in the competition as she leaked very few runs and possessed an economy of 5.83 in the series so far. She has picked 3 wickets so far in two games and will be challenging for the ENG-W batters.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: England Women
In the second T20I at Chelmsford, Sri Lanka Women bounced back with a resounding victory, displaying a remarkable turnaround in confidence after their initial loss in the series. England Women faced a daunting challenge when asked to bat first on a challenging pitch that initially favoured the bowlers. England struggled to maintain a stable innings and found themselves at a precarious 66-8. A late flourish by Charlotte Dean, who contributed 34 runs, allowed England to reach a total of 104, still falling significantly short of a competitive score.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, displayed a clinical performance with both bat and ball. They efficiently chased down the target in just 13.2 overs, losing only two wickets in the process. Chamari Athapaththu was the standout performer, scoring a dynamic 55 runs off 31 balls, steering her team closer to victory. Harshitha Samarawickrama also made a valuable contribution with 30 runs. Surprisingly, England's bowlers struggled to make an impact in the match, with only spinners Sarah Glenn and Alice Capsey managing to maintain some control over the scoring rate.
With this win, Sri Lanka Women levelled the series at 1-1. Despite this setback, England Women remain a formidable team with a strong batting unit and a history of dominating the recent WT20Is, leading 4-1 in their last five encounters. The second T20I loss should be seen as an off day rather than a reflection of their overall capabilities. England possesses ample talent within their ranks and will need to be cautious against Sri Lanka's quality spin bowlers as the series progresses. It's a reminder that even the best teams can have a rough day in cricket. The third T20I will determine the winner of the series.
