England and Sri Lanka will face off in Match 12 of the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup at the R Premadasa Stadium on Saturday. The Lionesses are second in the current standings, while Sri Lanka are in sixth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
England have made a positive start to their World Cup campaign, as they are one of only two teams with a perfect record after the first two rounds of matches.
The Lionesses trounced South Africa in their opening match by 10 wickets and followed up with a four-wicket victory over Bangladesh on Tuesday afternoon in Guwahati.
Sophie Ecclestone and Linsey Smith are joint-second in the leading wicket-taker standings. England are now on a four-match win streak across all competitions.
Meanwhile, with just one point after the first two games, Sri Lanka need to win a game soon to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout round of this year’s World Cup alive.
Their only point so far came as a result of their match against Australia being washed out with a ball bowled. They were beaten by 59 runs by India in the opening match of the tournament.
The Sri Lankans are now on a four-match losing streak and have not beaten England in an ODI since the 2013 World Cup.

Our England Women vs Sri Lanka Women Prediction
England have looked very impressive in this year’s World Cup, which sees them enter this match as massive favourites to secure the win and return to the top of the standings after being overtaken by Australia.
One player that has caught the eye for the Lionesses is Sophie Ecclestone, who has already notched up five wickets in two games, and we feel that the world’s best ODI bowler will be able to bag at least another couple in this one. Our England vs Sri Lanka prediction is Sophie Ecclestone 2+ wickets.
