SLW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Feb 16, 2023
Australia is the clear favorite going into this match against Sri Lanka. It has been near unbeatable for the better part of a decade while Sri Lanka is still very much a developing team in women's cricket. The upset that Sri Lanka Women managed against South Africa Women may raise some hopes amongst its fans but the best cricket betting sites clearly do not share that sentiment!

SLW vs AUSW Team Previews
Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka has won both matches it has played in the tournament so far. Its win against South Africa was a genuine upset and showed the improvements the team has made while its win against the Bangladesh Women's team was more on expected lines.
The key player for Sri Lanka is Chamari Athapaththu. She is brilliant with the bat and certainly capable of playing a match-winning inning. Harshita Madavi has also managed to score some runs in the previous match but apart from these two, the batting lineup is quite poor.
Ranasinghe and Ranaweera are the two best bowlers for Sri Lanka. We don't think even these two bowlers are truly world-class but they are still much better than the others around them. Against Australia, the weak bowling lineup could really struggle. <br />
Sri Lanka Women Playing 11
Harshitha Madavi, Chamari Atapattu, Vishmi Gunaratne, Anushka Sanjeewani, Nilakshi de Silva, Malsha Shehani, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Ama Kanchana, Sugandika Kumari, Inoka Ranaweera, Achini Kulasuriya.
Australia Women
Australia Women will win this match if they play to even 30% of their potential. That is a fact and something that both teams would be aware of. Australia is loaded with batting depth, powerful strikers of the ball, and world-class all-rounders that can contribute with both the bat and ball.
Pick any batter in the team and you will find a match-winner. Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, Meg Lanning, Elyse Perry, Ash Gardner, Tahlia McGrath, and even Grace Harris can all turn the match in a matter of a few overs.
The bowling lineup is varied and has plenty of experience. We don't think the Sri Lankan batters have much of a chance going up against the likes of Megan Schutt, Alana King, Darcie Brown, and the others.
Australia Women Playing 11
Alyssa Healy, Beth Mooney, Meg Lanning, Ashleigh Gardner, Ellyse Perry, Tahlia McGrath, Grace Harris, Georgia Wareham, Alana King, Megan Schutt, Darcie Brown.
