Sri Lanka bank on home advantage for elusive semifinal appearance

Sri Lanka are co-hosts for the ICC Women's World Cup but for most of the ICC Women's ODI Championship cycle from 2022 to 2025 they weren't.

The India-Pakistan standoff has meant that the nation will be hosting a women's World Cup for the first time, and the dream of an elusive World Cup semifinal beckons larger than ever before for Sri Lanka. Their ODI record in 2025 reads poorly having won only two of the eight ODIs they have played, with one no-result. They endured a no-result in the warm-up leading up to the tournament and fell agonisingly short against Bangladesh by one run in their second warm-up match.
