Match 21 at the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup will see Sri Lanka face off against Bangladesh at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The Sri Lankans are seventh in the standings, while the Tigresses are sixth. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Sri Lanka will play out their final two games in this competition as formality, as their semi-final qualification hopes were ended when they lost to South Africa by 10 wickets on Friday. 

Vishmi Gunaratne scored 34 runs off 33 balls for the tournament co-hosts against the Proteas in a match that was reduced to 20 overs due to rain. South Africa chased down the target in 14.5 overs (DLS method). 

With that result, Sri Lanka have now lost their last six matches across all competitions. However, they have won four of their last five across all formats against their upcoming opponents. 

Similarly, Bangladesh will not be able to progress to the semi-finals, as their knockout round dream was ended by Australia on Thursday when they were thumped by 10 wickets.

Despite an impressive 66* by Sobhana Mostary, the Tigresses had no answer to Alyssa Healy’s onslaught, as the Aussie skipper notched up 113*, wrapping up the match in the 25th over. 

Bangladesh are on a four-match losing streak, but they did win the most recent encounter against Sri Lanka, beating them by one run in the World Cup warm-ups.
