🏆 SL Women vs WI Women Prediction
Sri Lanka Women has a strong spin attack which keeps them confident at these home grounds. The surface at this venue offers plenty of runs but the batters need to settle themselves before going for big shots. West Indies played well in the last match but could not convert into a win. They must have learned from the mistakes and we back them to have an upper hand in the 2nd match.
