The Story Behind This Series: Dulani’s Maiden Century

Sri Lanka go into this match 1-0 up after a thriller in the series opener. Chasing 177, Sri Lanka were carried home by Imesha Dulani, who struck an unbeaten 101 off just 64 balls — her maiden T20I century, and only the second century by any Sri Lankan woman in the format after captain Chamari Athapaththu. Dulani’s innings, built on 17 fours and a six, overhauled Pakistan’s total with an over to spare after Shawaal Zulfiqar (63) and Muneeba Ali Siddiqui (42) had powered Pakistan to a competitive 176 for 7. The result also continued a strong run for Sri Lanka on this tour, who had already wrapped up a first-ever ODI series win over Pakistan before the T20Is began.

Pakistan will also be playing under a different captain for this leg of the tour — regular skipper Fatima Sana was rested from the T20I squad to fulfil Hundred commitments in England, becoming the first Pakistani woman to play in the competition. Muneeba Ali Siddiqui has taken over the T20I captaincy, leading a squad that features eight changes from the group that played the recent T20 World Cup, with the selectors clearly using this series to build depth.

SL-W vs PAK-W Pitch Report

The Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium has generally been a good surface for batters in the shorter format, with 160 often proving a winning total in women’s T20Is at the ground — a benchmark Pakistan cleared in the first match but still came up short against Dulani’s innings. Spinners have tended to find some assistance as the pitch wears through the middle overs, but seamers struggled to make an early impact in the series opener, with no wickets falling to pace in the powerplay of either innings.

SL-W vs PAK-W Probable Playing XI

Sri Lanka Women (Probable XI): Chamari Athapaththu (c), Vishmi Gunaratne, Imesha Dulani, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshika Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Chamudi Prabodha, Inoka Ranaweera, Rashmika Sewwandi, Chethana Vimukthi

Pakistan Women (Probable XI): Muneeba Ali Siddiqui (c), Shawaal Zulfiqar, Ayesha Zafar, Eyman Fatima, Maham Anees, Umm-e-Hani, Tasmia Rubab, Nashra Sandhu, Tuba Hassan, Saira Jabeen, Waheeda Akhtar

Both sides fielded debutants in the series opener — Chamudi Prabodha for Sri Lanka, and Eman Naseer and Momina Riasat for Pakistan — so team combinations could still see further changes for the second match.

SL-W vs PAK-W Players to Watch

Imesha Dulani (SL-W): The player of the moment after her maiden century, and now the clear standout pick in this entire series.

Chamari Athapaththu (SL-W, Captain): Contributed a rapid 39 off 22 in the series opener and remains Sri Lanka’s most dangerous batter alongside Dulani.

Shawaal Zulfiqar (PAK-W): Top-scored for Pakistan with 63 off 41 in the loss and will be central to any series-levelling effort.

Muneeba Ali Siddiqui (PAK-W, Captain): Struck 42 off 24 in the powerplay of the first match and now leads the side into a must-win game.

SL-W vs PAK-W Dream11 Team: Suggested Composition

Given Dambulla’s tendency to reward set batters and the lack of early seam threat shown in the series opener, a balanced SL-W vs PAK-W Dream11 team should lean toward top-order batting depth:

• Wicketkeeper: Anushka Sanjeewani (SL-W)
• Batters: Imesha Dulani (SL-W), Chamari Athapaththu (SL-W), Shawaal Zulfiqar (PAK-W), Muneeba Ali Siddiqui (PAK-W)
• All-Rounders: Kavisha Dilhari (SL-W), Harshitha Samarawickrama (SL-W)
• Bowlers: Nashra Sandhu (PAK-W), Inoka Ranaweera (SL-W), Tuba Hassan (PAK-W), Chamudi Prabodha (SL-W)

Captain and Vice-Captain Picks: Imesha Dulani is the standout captaincy option after her match-winning century, with Shawaal Zulfiqar a strong vice-captain pick given her 63 in the series opener.

SL-W vs PAK-W Today Match Prediction

Sri Lanka go into this match full of confidence, having already sealed a historic ODI series win on this tour before backing it up with a come-from-behind win in the T20I opener. Pakistan’s new-look, Muneeba-led side showed real fight with the bat in the first match and will fancy their chances of levelling the series, but Sri Lanka’s depth and home advantage — plus Imesha Dulani’s red-hot form — make the hosts favourites to move 2-0 up.
