Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu has won the toss and decided to bowl first against Pakistan in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 match. The match has been reduced to 34 overs per side due to rain delay.

Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

“We are bowling first as our bowling unit has done well, and the conditions will not be easy for the batters. We haven’t played our best cricket, but we still won the previous match against Bangladesh. Hopefully, we will play our best match today,” Chamari Athapaththu said.

Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana would have bowled first as well, but she is not worried about the outcome of the toss.

“The pitch looks good, and we will try to put 180-200 runs on the board. We will have to stitch partnerships and bat longer. Hopefully, we will win and go back home with confidence,” Fatima Sana said.
