Sri Lanka Women vs England Women ODI 2025 marks a significant point in both teams' campaigns. Chamari Athapaththu, who heads Sri Lanka Women's, has been fierce in its spin bowling. Sri Lanka Women's spin attack should be one of the weapons in this game, as the Colombo pitch is expected to favor them.

Moreover, England Women also have a powerful batting line-up with players like Amy Jones and Nat Sciver-Brunt. They have come into this match with a good record in the tournament, having won both their games.
