Sri Lanka are hanging dearly to their hopes of reaching the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup semis as they play Pakistan on Friday at the R. Premadasa Stadium. This match in Colombo between the sixth-placed hosts and the eighth-placed ‘Women in Green’ comes with our prediction of a home win.
With four points in the competition (W1, NR3, L2), Sri Lanka need India to lose to New Zealand the day before this game. Pakistan have only two points in the campaign (NR2, L4) and are already out of the race for reaching the knockouts.
Sri Lanka managed to edge Bangladesh by seven runs in Mumbai last Monday to stay alive in the competition. That’s their only win of the campaign, while their other points came because of rain-abandoned matches against New Zealand and Australia.
Hasini Perera scored an impressive 85 in their last match and is their best batter in the tournament (182 runs), while Inoka Ranaweera (seven wickets) remains their best bowler.
Pakistan remain the only winless side in the tournament, with their two points coming from games that were abandoned. They struggled throughout the tournament with the bat, and only Sidra Amin (138 runs) aggregated more than 100 in the competition. With the ball, it’s Fatima Sana (ten wickets) who’s holding their flag high.

Our Sri Lanka Women vs Pakistan Women Prediction
Sri Lanka could be eliminated by the time this match starts, as India’s win over New Zealand will ensure that. If New Zealand wins, Sri Lanka need to beat Pakistan and hope India and New Zealand lose their final group stage games. Regardless, Sri Lanka are expected to put up a better fight than Pakistan. The Women in Green have lost four games in this competition and have looked short of ammunition with the bat, while Sri Lanka may have a slight edge on that count.
Our Sri Lanka Women vs Pakistan Women prediction is Sri Lanka Women wins.
