AU-W vs SL-W Dream11 Prediction: Australia will face Sri Lanka in Match 5 of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, October 5 at the Sharjah International Stadium.
Six-time winners Australia will look to start their campaign on a winning note against Sri Lanka, who lost their opening-day match against Pakistan by 31 runs.

The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is balanced but one on the slower side, so expect a score of around 130-140. Spinners have had the upper hand in this ground historically, taking more than three-fourths of all wickets.
The weather is expected to be clear but warm, with temperatures between 37°C and 35°C. The dry conditions will be exacerbated by the humidity level, which will stay between 34% and 43%. Wind speeds of around 22 km/h will flow in from the west.
Six-time winners, Australia will come into the match as slight favourites. The Aussies were quite dominant in their two warm-up matches, defeating strong opponents like England Women and West Indies Women by 33 and 35 runs respectively. Annabel Sutherland was in fine form against the Windies, scoring 38 runs and taking two wickets in one over.
Sri Lanka also won both of their warm-up matches against Bangladesh Women (33 runs) and Scotland (5 wickets). However, their opening-day loss against Pakistan by 31 runs has been a blow to the team's confidence, and Chamari Athapaththu and Co. will look to bounce back against Australia.
