Sri Lanka Women vs Australia Women LIVE Updates: Six-time champions begin their Women's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with a match against Asia Cup winners Sri Lanka. For Australia, seasoned opener Beth Mooney will be a crucial cog. She is top of the ICC's T20 batter rankings going into the World Cup and the six-time champions will be relying on her once again at the top of the order.
A key member of the sides that won the last three editions of the T20 World Cup, Mooney was named 'Player of the Series' in 2020 after nailing an unbeaten 78 in the final as the Aussies saw off India. Having clattered 50 from 30 balls in the warm-up win over England in Dubai, there is every reason to think the 30-year-old is primed to add to her two T20I hundreds.

PITCH REPORT - Natalie Germanos and Lisa Sthalekar are pitchside.
Natalie starts by saying that it is pretty hot at 36 degrees Celsius but there is a good breeze blowing. Adds that the dimensions are lob-sided and it is pitch number 3 that is being used for this game. Lisa adds that the key factor in the previous two games was that the bowlers were bowling on a good length and slower too.
However, this pitch doesn't have the same grass cover as the previous one and it should skid more than spin. ! A.
