Pitch report: Fourth game on this pitch and it is getting better and better
Chamari Athapaththu; We would have bowled first anyway. We were confident about the bowling unit so we are happy with the toss. We have a good bunch of youngsters and seniors in our team
Nigar Sultana: We would like to bat first. Conditions look good so we would like to put a good score on the board.
Bangladesh Women have won the toss and have opted to bat
The weather is good for cricket. The pitches so far have been pretty decent for batting although we haven't seen big scores due to lack of application. Will there be a change tonight? Toss, pitch and more coming up shortly...
Welcome to the second game of the double-header. India, Nepal and Thailand have picked up their first points. It's time for hosts Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to get rolling in the competition. Sri Lanka are actually on a roll having won 9 of their 12 T20Is this year. Skipper Chamari Athapaththu is excited about a few promising talents like Vishmi Gunarathne and Kavisha Dilhari. Bangladesh on the other hand have had their woes with batting so they need to be on top of their game to pip Sri Lanka today.
