LAHORE (Dunya News) – Sri Lanka have Saturday won the toss and decided to bat first against Pakistan in their last ICC Women’s World Cup match.

The match is being played at Grace Road, Leicester. Pakistan skipper Sana Mir is confident to end the victory drought in the World Cup. Both Pakistan and Sri Lanka are winless in the tournament with six defeats apiece, and will be looking to end their campaign in the event on a high note.
