England Women are favorites to win
Match 4 of the Women’s Cricket tournament as part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games sees England Women face off against Sri Lanka Women at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Saturday evening. England Women enter the competition after beating South Africa Women 3-0 in this format earlier this month. Sri Lanka Women won their last WT20I against India Women. Read on as we preview this day-night WT20I. The Group B match begins at 18:00 local time.
England Women have been in excellent form of late and have a very strong record in home tournaments. They will come into this game full of confidence.
Sri Lanka Women are certainly a competitive side in home conditions but may struggle with the overcast conditions likely to deliver plenty of swing. They will fight and always show pride in representing their country.
This match will be shown live on BBC One and BBC Two.

With the ball likely to swing more under the floodlights, we expect Sri Lanka Women to want to bat first. We predict that England Women will also choose to bat first in front of their home fans.
The surface is dry in Birmingham but there will be moisture in the air due to the humidity. We expect a par score to be over 160 on this pitch.
The temperature will fall to 19 degrees in the final stages of the game. Cloudy throughout with humidity rising as the game progresses.

Although this England Women side are currently transitioning between eras of players, it means they have potentially a winning combination of experience, home advantage and youthful experience. Captain, Heather Knight, has been ruled out of this opener through injury.
England Women have registered four wins from their last five matches in WT20Is. They were far too strong for South Africa Women in the series earlier this month.
Danni Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver (c), Amy Jones (wk), Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Katherine Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone, Freya Kemp, Sarah Glenn, Issy Wong
Sri Lanka Women’s 15-player squad for this tournament features all of the players who were involved in the surprise victory over India Women five weeks ago. There is plenty of experience alongside some emerging players in the team with no injury worries or unavailability.
Sri Lanka Women’s WT20I victory over India Women in their last game ended a run of five successive defeats in the format.
Chamari Atapattu (c), Vishmi Gunaratne, Harshitha Samarawickrama, Nilakshi de Silva, Ama Kanchana, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Inoka Ranaweera, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Udeshiki Prabodhani, Malsha Shehani, Sugandika Kumari
Sri Lanka Women have lost all eight games against England Women in this format. Their last meeting was in March 2019 in Colombo when England Women won by 96 runs.

With home advantage and a 100% record against their opponents, England Women are very heavy favourites to win Match 4 of the tournament.
England Women have been in fine form with the bat all summer across all formats. Sophia Dunkley is part of a new generation of players breaking through for the home side.
Our batting tips are Danni Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley and Nat Sciver for England Women. Sciver has been England Women’s most consistent batter across all formats so far this summer.
Chamari Atapattu, Vishmi Gunaratne and Harshitha Smarawickrama are our batting picks for Sri Lanka Women. Gunaratne is only 16 years of age but already has a top score of 45 in WT20Is.
Our bowling picks are Sophie Ecclestone, Katherine Brunt and Issy Wong for England Women. Ecclestone finished as the top wicket taker in the 2022 Women’s World Cup.
Inoka Ranaweera, Oshadi Ranasinghe and Udeshki Prabodhani are our bowling recommendations for Sri Lanka Women. Ranaweera has taken wickets in six of her last seven international appearances.
Cheered on by a large number of home supporters, we expect England Women to relish the pressure of hosts in this competition. Sri Lanka Women surprised many with their win over India Women in their last WT20I but it would be a huge upset if they won this match. We are predicting a comfortable victory for England Women.
