Chamari Athapaththu:

The captain of Sri Lanka is in great form having mustered two half-centuries in three matches. The left handed opening batter has provided a solid start to Sri Lanka in all the three matches in the tournament. Apart from her batting, she is more than a handy right arm off spinner.

Harshitha Madavi:

The left-handed middle order bat of Sri Lanka bagged the player of the match award in her last outing against Malaysia. She hammered 65 not out off just 42 balls, including 10 boundaries. She guided her team to a daunting score of 175-3 in 20 overs.
