Sri Lanka Opt to Bat First Against South Africa in Crucial Women’s World Cup Clash

Posted : 17 October 2025

Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first against South Africa in a key ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 match in Colombo.

Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat first against South Africa in a crucial ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 group-stage match taking place in Colombo. With both sides chasing vital points to stay in contention for the semifinals, the game carries major significance for their respective campaigns.

South Africa come into the contest in strong form after bouncing back from an opening defeat to England. The Proteas have since registered three consecutive victories, including narrow wins against India and Bangladesh, which have strengthened their push for a top-four finish. They will now look to extend that winning streak and solidify their third-place position in the standings.

Sri Lanka, meanwhile, have endured a mixed tournament so far. The co-hosts have collected two points from rain-affected matches against Australia and New Zealand, but have fallen short against India and England. Playing on home soil, they will be eager to deliver a strong performance and climb up from seventh place in the table.

The South African squad, led by Laura Wolvaardt, features key players such as Marizanne Kapp, Tazmin Brits, and Chloe Tryon, while Ayabonga Khaka and Nonkululeko Mlaba provide strength in the bowling department. Sri Lanka will depend on the experience of Chamari Athapaththu, along with emerging talents like Harshitha Samarawickrama and Vishmi Gunarathne, to anchor their innings.

With both teams under pressure to keep their semifinal hopes alive, the match promises an exciting battle between South Africa’s consistency and Sri Lanka’s determination to bounce back in front of their home crowd.
