Sri Lanka Women beat Bangladesh Women by 7 runs
So, Sri Lanka Women win by 7 runs in a rollercoaster thriller! They keep their knockout hopes alive, while Bangladesh are left wondering ‘what if?’ The next clash - Match 22 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 promises to be another mouth-watering encounter as South Africa Women take on Pakistan Women in Colombo. South Africa have already sealed their spot in the knockouts, riding high on confidence with dominant performances throughout the tournament. Pakistan, though, are still searching for their first win and will need a miracle to stay alive - winning both of their remaining games and praying for a few mathematical favours to fall their way. The pressure is sky-high, the stakes even higher. That match will be played on Tuesday, 21st October, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 9.30 am GMT. Join us early for all the pre-match buildup and analysis. Until then - breathe and smile. TAKE CARE! CIAO!
The captain of Sri Lanka Women, Chamari Athapaththu, is all smiles as she walks up for a chat. On being asked about from where did they win the match, she says that they handled the pressure pretty well. Also tells that they executed the plans well in the final overs. Also admits that this was not their best games as they made too many errors in the fielding department, but feels lucky to get a win from a tough situation. She says they played four matches in Sri Lanka, but two were washed out, and adds that weather is unpredictable and something they can’t use as an excuse as professionals. With one game left, she says the team will give their best and that it would be a miracle if they still manage to reach the semifinals. Chamari mentions that she and Hasini Perera shared a good partnership before her dismissal and admits the team needs to learn from Bangladesh’s approach in the middle overs, as Sri Lanka made several mistakes with the bat. Speaking about Hasini, she praises her as a senior player, noting that though it was her first career fifty, she’s always been a solid batter and hopes she continues to perform well in the future. She also shares that after every over, she reminded the team to keep things simple, and credits the senior bowlers for doing a fine job. Once Joty was dismissed, Chamari felt the game was tilting in their favour. She recalls a moment when she and Udeshika discussed who should bowl the final over, and shares that Udeshika told her to bowl as she (herself) was in the mood. About their final game against Pakistan in Colombo, she cheekily says that she is hopeful that it doesn't rain.
The Bangladesh's skipper, Nigar Sultana Joty, looks visibly emotional as she reflects on another close defeat. She says that from the very beginning, it felt like their game to win. Adds that she and Sharmin were batting beautifully, but the momentum shifted when Sharmin had to retire hurt due to cramps. After that, Bangladesh kept losing wickets at crucial moments, something that has happened in all three of their recent matches - heartbreaking, definitely, she admits, saying that the team couldn’t quite hold their nerves under pressure. Acknowledges that her side is struggling to cope with the pressure situations and insists that they need to think deeply about how to overcome it. Praises Shorna for stepping up as a bowler and delivering incredible spells throughout the tournament. In a World Cup, you need to grab those opportunities, she says firmly. Speaking about the fielding, Joty expresses disappointment that despite being a very good fielding side, Bangladesh dropped crucial catches. It’s a mental thing, she admits, saying that the team needs to work on staying composed. With one more game left, she emphasizes the importance of rectifying their mistakes and finishing on a positive note. Reflecting on their batting approach, Joty explains that earlier in the tournament, they lost too many wickets in the Powerplay, so the plan now has been to play safer early on. However, she adds that their aim was to finish the chase before the last over, as she told her partner that they have to finish it in this over, either find the boundary or get her on strike so she can go for it, she says, showing her determination even in defeat.
Sri Lanka’s Hasini Perera is adjudged as the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for her brilliant 85 off 99 balls. Speaking about her batting adjustments, she says that she focused on covering her off stump a bit more and looked to play anything pitched outside off. Hasini calls it an important innings for both her and the team and says she’s glad to contribute in a winning cause. She credits the bowlers for holding their nerve in the final overs and admits she should’ve finished the innings herself, adding that Sri Lanka could’ve easily scored another 40-50 runs had she done so.
Time for the Post-Match Presentations...
What went wrong? Underconfidence, panic, or just Chamari’s magic? The final overs were chaos! Sugandika’s breakthrough started the collapse, and then came Chamari Athapaththu’s golden touch - four wickets in the last over, including a runout. The skipper trapped batters, forced a runout, and sealed a win for the ages. Bangladesh’s lower order went from calm to crumble - losing six wickets for just 19 runs. From near victory to heartbreak, they’ll replay this in their minds for days.
But credit where it’s due - Sharmin Akhter and Nigar Sultana Joty gave Bangladesh the fight they desperately needed. An 82-run stand brought them back into the match. Sharmin’s 64, even though interrupted by cramps, was gutsy and graceful, while Nigar’s captain’s knock of 77 looked set to take her side home. The pair soaked up pressure, rotated strike cleverly, and played sensible cricket. At 176/4, Bangladesh were cruising with only 27 needed in the last five overs. But then... cricket reminded everyone it’s a game of glorious uncertainty.
And Bangladesh’s chase? It began with a whisper, not a roar. Rubya Haider gone for a duck, Fargana Hoque run out after 35 balls for just 7 - the pressure was building early. Sri Lanka’s bowlers, especially Udeshika Prabodhani and Sugandika Kumari, kept it tight, giving away no freebies. The Powerplay yielded just 23 runs, and it felt like Bangladesh were more afraid of losing than eager to win. Was that the first sign of the storm ahead? Maybe yes.
Was there any hope then? Absolutely! Hasini Perera and Nilakshika Silva steadied the innings beautifully, mixing caution with aggression. Hasini’s 85 was pure class, as she batted through the chaos, anchoring while others collapsed around her. Silva’s late cameo with two sixes brought back some life into the innings, but as wickets fell rapidly from 174/4 to 182/8, the Lankans had to settle for 202. Shorna Akter’s 3 for 27 was pure gold for Bangladesh, while Rabeya Khan’s double strike kept things tight. Yet, Sri Lanka’s fielding and bowling belief would soon prove why 202 wasn’t too small after all.
How did Sri Lanka get to 202 in the first place? After Chamari won the toss and chose to bat, the Lankans had a disastrous start - losing Vishmi Gunaratne for a duck. But Chamari, as always, led the counter-attack with trademark flair, striking six boundaries and two sixes in her quickfire 46. Hasini Perera stood tall at the other end, forming a 72-run stand that gave the innings a heartbeat. Once Chamari fell to Rabeya, the middle order faltered - Harshitha’s run-out and Kavisha’s unlucky stumping left them in trouble at 100/4.
WHAT. A. GAME! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Sri Lanka have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat! Twelve runs needed off the final two overs, but Chamari Athapaththu said - 'Leave it to me.' What followed was pure drama - four wickets in the last over, a run out to finish, and absolute ecstasy for the Lankans. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be heartbroken, as they had one hand on the win but somehow managed to slip on the last step. Sri Lanka stay alive in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025, while Bangladesh’s run ends here.

Chamari Athapaththu To Sharmin Akhter
Chamari Athapaththu, with the nerves of steel, delivers the job in style for her side. She has defended 7 runs off the final over. The Lankan skipper fires in a fuller delivery, keeping it outside the off pole. Sharmin Akhter looks to smash it through the off side, but misses to connect. This is an absolute heist from Chamari Athapaththu and her side. Sri Lanka Women maintain a clean sheet against Bangladesh Women in ODIs. Nigar Sultana Joty is in absolute disbelief in the dugout as Bangladesh have been knocked out of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, 2025. They were in a winning position for 90 percent of the chase, but just bottled up in the final few deliveries. SRI LANKA WOMEN WIN BY 7 RUNS!

Chamari Athapaththu To Nishita Akter Nishi
In the air... but lands safe. But it is Sri Lanka's game to lose now. Full and sliding into the batter. Nishita Akter Nishi mistimes it off the toe end and lofts it over wide mid-wicket. The ball lands safe and is mopped up by the long on fielder to her right. Only a single.
Nishita Akter Nishi is the last batter in.

Chamari Athapaththu To Marufa Akter OUT!
OUT! LBW! What a sensational final over this has been from the Sri Lankan skipper. Chamari Athapaththu flattens the trajectory and slides it onto the leg stump line, on a good length. Marufa Akter gets across and tries to tickle it fine, but misses and the ball thuds the front pad. There is a loud, confident appeal for LBW and the finger goes up without any hesitation. Marufa Akter is a bit late to take the review as she runs out of time, and is denied by the umpire and has to walk back. CHAMARI ATHAPATHTHU IS ON A HAT TRICK!
Marufa Akter is in next to bat.

Chamari Athapaththu To Nigar Sultana Joty OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! A TEAM HATTRICK FOR SRI LANKA. Athapaththu wins the duel against the opposition skipper when it matters the most. This is full and on the off stump line. Nigar Sultana Joty tries to hoist it over long off, but does not get the bat properly under the ball and ends up slicing it high in the air. It descends straight into the safe hands of Nilakshika Silva stationed at the long off fence. Nigar Sultana Joty would be kicking herself for not seeing her side cross the winning line. She departs for a valiant 77 (98).
Sharmin Akhter has come back to bat again.

Chamari Athapaththu To Nahida Akter OUT!
OUT! NAHIDA AKTER IS RUN OUT! Goodness me, Bangladesh are losing the plot here. Chamari Athapaththu dishes out a flatter delivery, on a fuller length, outside off. Nahida Akter drills it towards the mid off fielder and is called through for a single by Nigar. The fielder at mid off, Nilakshika Silva, is quick to get on the ball. She picks and throws in a motion and scores a direct hit at the non-striker's end, and Nahida Akter is well short of her crease. The replay confirms the same.
Nahida Akter walks in to bat next.

Chamari Athapaththu To Rabeya Khan OUT!
OUT! LBW! The Sri Lankan skipper is leading from the front. This is turning out to be a precious spell of bowling from Athapaththu. Chamari tosses up a full delivery, right in front of the sticks. It lands and then spins in very sharply off the pitch. Rabeya sits across and tries to sweep it to the leg side, but misses and wears on the front pad. There is an appeal for LBW, and the finger is raised instantly. Rabeya Khan immediately opts for a review. The third umpire is certain that there is no bat involved and that the ball has smashed onto the pad before the bat arriving. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds with the ball projected to hit the leg stump. A review lost, but this is getting out of Bangladesh's hands now.
Right, it has come down to the wire. 9 needed in 6 deliveries. Bangladesh Women would bank on Nigar Sultana Joty to get them home. While Chamari Athapaththu has taken the responsibility in her hands to bowl out these final six balls. Let's see who comes out on top in this South Asian rivalry.

Chamari Athapaththu To Shorna Akter OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! It is still not over. The Sri Lankan skipper gets a crucial breakthrough. Athapaththu darts this one and slides this down the leg stump line, on a fractionally fuller length. Shorna Akter walks forward and tries to nudge it around the corner, but gets a faint inside edge and Anushka Sanjeewani, who has been brilliant through this World Cup as the keeper, takes a fine reaction catch to her left. The umpire raises her finger very late on the appeal for caught behind and Shorna does not review it. Shorna Akter departs for 19 (27) and Bangladesh Women are 176/4.

Another productive set of ten overs from Bangladesh's perspective. 46 runs without losing a single wicket in this 31-40 over phase. They have just kept rotating the strike consistently since the last 20 overs. Bangladesh Women need 57 runs from the last 60 balls, with 7 wickets in hand. But, they would not want to drag this till the final over as that might affect their net run rate, which is already in the negative territory. On the other hand, Sri Lanka Women really need someone to step up before it is too late.

DROPPED! That was a dolly and this is going all south for Sri Lanka! Fuller in length, on the stumps, spinning in. Shorna Akter slogs it aerially, but mistimes it off the toe end. Nilakshika Silva is stationed perfectly for that catch at long on, but she gets into an awkward position for a straightforward catch by bending a bit low and shells it in the end. A single taken.

Slight halt in the play! Sharmin Akhter is down on her haunches and she looks in pain. Seems to be a back issue. The physio is out to have a check on her. Uh.. she is walking off the field - as a retired hurt. Shorna Akter has walked in to bat.

Sharmin Akhter is down onto the ground. The physio is out to have a check on her. DRINKS have been taken. This fourth wicket partnership has brought back Bangladesh Women in the match as they need 94 runs in 18 overs. Nigar Sultana Joty is playing a second fiddle for the moment, while Sharmin Akhter has been so good with her approach and execution to bring back her fifty. Bangladesh Women would want this partnership to stretch as much as they can and finish out the game. Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Women are desperate for the wickets - otherwise, the game will slip away from them.

Sharmin has to hurry to reach to the danger end, but the mid off fielder misses her shy at the non-striker's end. Sharmin Akhter just had to stretch herself a bit to slide her bat inside the crease and looks a bit uncomfortable. Seems to have pulled off her hamstring in the process. Maybe, she will get it treated after the over.

At this stage, advantage Bangladesh as they are not chasing an extravagant total. These two have constructed the chase beautifully so far.

Chamari Athapaththu To Sharmin Akhter
Massive appeal for LBW but the umpire shakes her head. However, Chamari Athapaththu takes a review. Full and around leg, Sharmin Akhter gets across and gets down on one knee to sweep it but gets it off her gloves towards widish short fine leg. A single is taken. The third umpire is called in and she confirms that there is glove involved after watching the replay. Sri Lanka Women lose a review.
A review for LBW, taken in the nick of time by Chamari Athapaththu, challenging the on-field decision. Well, it is burnt instantly as the replay shows that it clearly deflected off the glove of the batter. NOT OUT.

Still slow going for Bangladesh Women. They have managed to score only 35 runs at the loss of 2 wickets in this 11-20 over phase. Bangladesh Women's 58/3 meets Sri Lanka's 101/4 at the same stage. The required rate is still very manageable for Bangladesh, but they need to reduce their dot-ball percentage to keep the scorecard moving.

DRINKS! Bangladesh Women are in a tough situation with the loss of the last wicket as they are three down and have just 44 on the board, chasing a target of 203. They need a big partnership here - otherwise, things will slip away. Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Women have been pretty tight with their lines and lengths so far, chipping away three key wickets. Let's see how the next phase pans out. Also, Nigar Sultana Joty has walked out to bat next.

Sugandika Kumari To Sobhana Mostary OUT!
OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! A much-needed wicket for Sri Lanka. Kumari bowls from around the stumps and drags the length back, pitching it around middle and leg, with the drift into the batter. Sobhana Mostary is rushed on the back foot, and tries to pull it over deep mid-wicket. However, she has very little space to work with and goes through the shot, playing it aerially. Gets no timing or the required power on it and airs it straight towards Vishmi Gunarathne stationed at deep square leg. Vishmi is standing a few yards in off the ropes, and takes it over her head with a reverse cup. This third-wicket partnership was looking well settled for Bangladesh, but comes to an end after adding 20 runs. Sobhana Mostary departs for 8 (13) and Bangladesh Women are 44/3, needing 159 runs to win.

Sugandika Kumari To Sobhana Mostary
A bit too straight, full and on the leg stump line. Sobhana Mostary clips it with soft hands to deep fine leg. Hasini Perera from deep square leg runs to her right and cuts it off. Two taken. There is a direct hit from Hasini at the striker's end and the ball is deflected towards the off side, but since Sobhana Mostary ran a bit too far after completing the second, they settle with two only.

Malki Madara To Fargana Hoque OUT!
OUT! FARGANA HOQUE IS RUN OUT! A needless dismissal and Bangladesh Women are under pressure. An inswinger, full and on the pads, Fargana gets a bit across and flicks it to the right of the short mid-wicket fielder. She initially takes the charge to pinch a single, and sees her partner hesitating to run. But eventually, both decide to cross over, and that provides enough time for Harshitha Samarawickrama to move to her right from mid-wicket and release a direct hit at the non-striker's end with Fargana Hoque out by a country mile. Also, Sobhana Mostary walks in next to bat.
Sri Lanka Women have been pretty good with their lines and lengths.

Udeshika Prabodhani To Rubya Haider OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Just what the doctor ordered stuff for Sri Lanka Women. They wanted an early wicket and they have got it. The experinced pacer, Udeshika Prabodhani, lands it on a length and keeps the line outside off, getting it to shape away from there. Rubya Haider prods forward and hangs her bat away from her body. Tries to push but manages to get a faint outside edge only. The keeper, Anushka Sanjeewani moves to her left a bit and takes it. The finger goes up on the appeal for caught behind. Haider does not review and starts to march back to the dressing room. Rubya Haider departs for a five-ball duck and Bangladesh Women are 2/1, needing 201 runs to win.
