Women’s Cricket Daily – 3 May 2026
Welcome to today’s women’s international cricket update featuring overnight results, today’s matches, breaking news and a look back through history.
News in brief
- Rain in Sylhet saw the final match between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka reduced to just 10 overs each. Sri Lanka the match by 3 runs and as a result won the series convincingly by 3-0. What will be pleasing for Sri Lanka supporters is the fact that throughout the ODI and T20 series it wasn’t all due to Chamari Athapaththu. Other players stepping up in recent times have really given this team some backbone – good signs heading into next month’s World Cup.
- Action gets underway in Karachi tomorrow (4th May) when Pakistan and Zimbabwe play the first ODI in a series of three matches. That will be followed by three T20 Internationals.
- Looking further forward, the Hong Kong Tri-Series begins on Thursday in Mong Kok. Competing with the home team are Malaysia and China.
