The Chamari Athapaththu-led side recently played a white ball series against West Indies women at home. Though the hosts won the ODI series by a 3-0 margin. But in the shortest format, the side couldn’t carry on the same momentum. The Lankans lost the series 2-1 but will be looking to put their past performances behind them and come back strong in the ongoing competition.
On the other hand, Bangladesh Women were previously on a five-match T20I tour to India. The star-studded India squad demolished the opposition and won the series by a 5-0 margin. Nigar Sultana-led team will be hoping to get a win in the first game to boost their confidence.

Pitch report
The RangiriDambulla surface is historically on the slower side with the spinners getting help. For the seamers, the strip offers a good amount of bounce making it hard for the batters to be anticipatory while batting. The team that wins the toss will look to bat first and try to put on a defendable score on the board.
