Dream11 Prediction Section
Expert’s Verdict: Captain & Vice-Captain
- Captain (Mandatory): Hayley Matthews. Despite a quiet first game, her all-round status is undisputed. As an off-break bowler on this surface, she is a goldmine for points.
- Vice-Captain (Technical): Inoka Ranaweera. The veteran left-arm spinner dismantled the Windies with 4/44 in the last match. On a slowing Grenada track, she is a lethal VC choice.

| Safe Picks | Stafanie Taylor, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari |
| Budget Picks | Jannillea Glasgow (8.5 Cr), Hasini Perera (8.5 Cr) |
| Differential (GL) | Karishma Ramharack (Spin value) or Deandra Dottin (150th ODI milestone) |
Key Player Analysis
- Stafanie Taylor (WI-W): Showed immense resilience with a fighting 66 in the first ODI. Her ability to stabilize the middle order is vital for the hosts.
- Harshitha Samarawickrama (SL-W): A technical anchor who scored 66 off 106 balls in the opener. She rarely fails against pace.
- Kavisha Dilhari (SL-W): A genuine all-rounder who provides tactical substitutions or bowling options at any phase.
Match Prediction
While the H2H is dead even at 18-18, Sri Lanka Women hold a slight edge given their superior spin attack and recent momentum. However, a firing Hayley Matthews could easily swing the win probability back to 50% for the hosts.
