Sri Lanka Women and Bangladesh Women face off in the 21st match of the at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Monday, October 20.​

This fixture marks an emotional phase of the campaign for both teams as their semifinal hopes fade away. Sri Lanka remain winless after five games, sitting near the bottom with only rain saving them from elimination earlier in the tournament. Their reliance on Chamari Athapaththu continues, with the skipper needing to lead from the front after inconsistent support from the middle order. Harshitha Samarawickrama and Hasini Perera will play crucial roles if Sri Lanka are to post a strong total.​

Bangladesh, on the other hand, opened their campaign brightly with a win over Pakistan but have since suffered four consecutive defeats. Despite that, their competitive outings against South Africa and England reveal potential that could trouble Sri Lanka. Captain Nigar Sultana’s consistent batting and Marufa Akter’s pace will be key to breaking their winless ODI record against Sri Lanka, having never beaten them in this format before.
