Sri Lanka suffered a 31-run defeat against Pakistan in their opening game of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. The batting unit collapsed as nine of the players registered scores in single digits. Up next, they face a tough challenge in the form of six-time champions Australia. The Alyssa Healy-led side are serial winners in any format of the game and would hope to start the tournament well and push for their fourth straight T20 World Cup title.

They have a well-balanced squad, despite not having Meg Lanning around. The seniors – that is Healy, Beth Mooney and Elysse Perry will have to take responsibility with the bat. Mooney, particularly is in very good form, which is a plus point. They also have Phoebe Litchfield, who has the potential to change the course of the game at any point. With the ball, Ashleigh Gardner and Alana King will be vital.
