Sri Lanka skipper Chamari Athapaththu still hopeful her side can reach semi-finals at Women's World Cup

Equation simple as Chamari plots Sri Lanka’s semi-final path

Sri Lanka Women's Captain Chamari Athapaththu

SRI Lanka Captain Chamari Athapaththu knows her team must win all three of their remaining matches at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup to have any chance of reaching the knockout stages.

Persistent rain in Colombo on Tuesday saw Sri Lanka’s match against New Zealand abandoned, leaving the island nation with just two points from their first four encounters at the tournament.

But rather than dwell on the unfortunate weather that Sri Lanka have encountered thus far, Athapaththu is remaining optimistic and believes her side still have a chance of qualifying for the semi finals at the event should they be able to win their final three matches against South Africa, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
