Sri Lanka Fights for Semifinal Spot in Women's ODI World Cup

Sri Lanka remains in the fight for a semifinal berth in the Women's ODI World Cup, needing a decisive victory over Pakistan and a string of favorable outcomes from other matches. Positioned sixth with four points, the team trails behind, struggling to secure its place in the knockout stages.

To remain in contention, Sri Lanka, led by Chamari Athapaththu, requires India to lose their remaining games and hopes for fifth-placed New Zealand to fall against England. Hasini Perera has been a standout performer, leading the batting lineup with 182 runs, aiming to continue her impressive form against Pakistan.

Challenges persist for both teams as Sri Lanka battles unpredictable weather conditions that threaten to jeopardize their campaign. Meanwhile, with only two points and no wins, Pakistan seeks to exit the tournament with a victory, aiming to spoil Sri Lanka's chances.
