Sri Lanka secured their second consecutive win in the Women’s T20 World Cup warm-up matches, defeating Scotland by five wickets. Chamari Athapaththu’s team bowled out Scotland for a paltry 58 runs, while Kavisha Dilhari led the chase with a crucial 27 runs. Meanwhile, Bangladesh registered a dominant 23-run win over Pakistan, highlighting the growing competitiveness within the tournament.
In preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the schedule for the warm-up fixtures. Sixteen matches will be played from May 27 to June 1 in the United States and Trinidad and Tobago, with India playing Bangladesh on June 1 and Australia facing West Indies on May 30. Teams will be permitted to field all members of their 15-player squads during these matches, which will not carry international T20 status. Notably, Pakistan, England, and New Zealand will not participate in any warm-up matches, while South Africa will play an intra-squad match.
