Sri Lanka and West Indies play their second group stage match of the Women’s T20 World Cup on Sunday at Bristol County Ground in a Group 2 contest that both sides need to approach with urgency. The match is part of a packed schedule across England as the 2026 tournament approaches its midpoint, with four Women’s T20 games scheduled across the country on Sunday alone.
West Indies are among the most decorated teams in women’s T20 cricket, with two World Cup titles to their name. They have not always delivered at that level in recent tournaments and the 2026 edition in England represents a chance to reassert themselves at the top of the format. Their batting lineup carries power hitters capable of making an impact from any position in the order.
Sri Lanka have been developing as a T20 side and will not make it easy for the Caribbean team. They qualified for this World Cup and are building toward becoming a more consistent force in the format. Their bowling attack, if conditions in Bristol assist movement off the pitch, could pose genuine problems for a West Indies side still finding their rhythm in English conditions.
The Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 is taking place entirely in England, marking the third time England has hosted the tournament. The format includes ten teams split into two groups of five, with the top two from each advancing to the semi-finals. Every match in the group stage carries real significance.
Group 2 also includes England, Australia, and one other nation, making it a competitive pool where West Indies and Sri Lanka both need wins to stay relevant in the standings. England Women have been in strong form in the tournament so far.
The Bristol match begins in the afternoon local time. Full schedules and tournament standings are available on the official ICC Women’s T20 World Cup site. India’s record score earlier in the tournament has raised the standard for what batting performances look like in this edition. Australia’s dominance in their opener set the pace that everyone else is now chasing.
