Pakistan and Sri Lanka are set to go head-to-head in the women’s cricket semi-final match at the Asian Games. The 20-over match is scheduled to take place at the ZJUT Cricket Field in Hangzhou on September 24, with the on-field proceedings starting at 11:30 AM IST. Both Sri Lanka and Pakistan got a direct entry to the Asian Games quarter-finals based on their superior rankings. Sri Lanka squared off against Thailand in the previous game and registered a comfortable 8-wicket victory to secure a place in the final four. Thailand batted first in the rain-affected encounter and managed to score 78 runs in 15 overs.
Chasing a paltry target, Sri Lanka did not face much trouble. The opening pair of Chamari Athapaththu and Anushka Sanjeewani put up a 54-run partnership to make the task easier for the upcoming batters. In the end, a 14-run cameo from Harshitha Samarawikrama sealed the deal.
On the other hand, the Pakistan women’s team clashed against Indonesia for the quarter-final game. But the match was called off without a ball being bowled due to incessant rain in Hangzhou.
