Sri Lanka Women Cricket Team Hosts Pakistan Women for July 2026 T20I Series

Sri Lanka and Pakistan women's cricket teams will contest a three‑match Twenty20 International (T20I) series beginning on 31 July 2026 at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium in Dambulla. The series follows a closely contested ODI leg in which Sri Lanka edged Pakistan 2‑1.

Sri Lanka have named a youthful squad featuring uncapped Under‑19 players Sanjana Kavindi and Chamudi Praboda, alongside regulars such as captain Chamari Athapaththu, opener Vishmi Gunaratne, and wicket‑keeper Harshitha Samarawickrama. Pakistan will field experienced campaigners including captain Fatima Sana, Muneeba Ali, Aliya Riaz and Nashra Sandhu. Both sides aim to build on recent improvements and secure a strong start to the T20I leg.

Historical head‑to‑head records show Pakistan leading the rivalry with 11 wins to Sri Lanka's 9 in the 21 previous T20Is. Broadcast arrangements include Dialog TV and The Papare in Sri Lanka, FanCode in India, and Tapmad and A Sports in Pakistan.
