The second match of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 is set to take place between Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The game will be played at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 4, at 2:00 pm GMT.

Both teams have a history of competitive matches, and this encounter promises to be no different. Their recent Asia Cup clash, where Sri Lanka emerged victorious, has added an extra layer of intrigue to this fixture.

Muneeba Ali will be a key player for Pakistan, while their bowling attack, led by Fatima Sana, will be crucial. Chamari Athapaththu will be the focal point of the Sri Lankan batting order. Their spin bowling combination of Sugandika Kumari and Inoka Ranaweera could be a game-changer.
