Sobhana Mostary anchored the innings with a patient 34, supported by Dilara Akter's 26, but Chamudi Praboda's three-wicket haul triggered a middle-order collapse that prevented a late flourish.Defending a low total of 115, their bowlers put up a spirited, disciplined fight to push the game down to the wire. Pacer Marufa Akter led the attack magnificently by taking 3/21, which included the prized early scalp of Chamari Athapaththu to leave Sri Lanka reeling at 44/5.However, Bangladesh failed to dislodge Harshitha Samarawickrama (48*), whose composure in the final overs helped Sri Lanka cross the line with four balls remaining.Bangladesh Women Predicted Playing XI:Juairiya Ferdous, Dilara Akter, Sobhana Mostary, Nigar Sultana (c) (wk), Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Nahida Akter, Farjana Easmin, Sultana Khatun, Marufa Akter, Fahima KhatunBangladesh Women Actual Playing XI:Sharmin Akhter, Sobhana Mostary, Rabeya Khan, Shorna Akter, Nigar Sultana, Dilara Akter, Juairiya Ferdous, Nahida Akter, Fahima Khatun, Marufa Akter, Sultana KhatunUnited Arab Emirates Women PreviewUAE Women started their Women's Asia Cup campaign with a nine-wicket loss against Sri Lanka Women, but made a quick turnaround with a dominant performance against Indonesia Women to keep their semi-final hopes alive.Opting to bowl first, UAE delivered a clinical bowling masterclass to bundle Indonesia out for just 71 in 19.4 overs. Suraksha Kotte set the tone with an outstanding 3/16, while skipper Esha Oza (2/11) and Heena Hotchandani (2/6) applied relentless pressure through the middle overs to prevent any substantial partnerships.Chasing a modest target of 72, UAE approached the task with clear intent. Captain Esha Oza led from the front with a brisk 30 off 29 balls, combining with Rinitha Rajith (22) in a decisive 45-run stand. Despite a brief double-strike from Sofia Velic, UAE comfortably chased down the total in 13.1 overs with six wickets to spare.UAE Women have a realistic chance of winning against a top team for the first time. They have been in fine form this year, winning seven of their nine WT20Is. Playing at home in favorable conditions, they could pull off a historic win in front of their home crowd, but that will require their top-order batters to be exceptional.United Arab Emirates Women Predicted Playing XI:Esha Oza (c), Theertha Satish (wk), Lavanya Keny, Heena Hotchandani, Samaira Dharnidharka, Rinitha Rajith, Mehul Pranav Kulkarni, Vaishnave Mahesh, Archara Supriya, Janani Thirukkumaran, Suraksha KotteUnited Arab Emirates Women Actual Playing XI:Janani Thirukkumaran, Archara Supriya, Esha Oza, Theertha Satish, Heena Hotchandani, Samaira Dharnidharka, Rinitha Rajith, Lavanya Keny, Mehul Pranav Kulkarni, Indhuja Nandakumar, Suraksha KottePITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONSWeather ConditionsDubai will experience hot and sunny conditions on Tuesday, with temperatures peaking around 38°C.

In the last three matches none of the teams managed to score past 120 runs with the highest score while batting first being 114. Four scores of under 80 runs have been recorded in the last six innings. We predict another low scoring contest in today's match and a score of around 120-130 while batting first is going to be a match winning one.Toss: To BowlTeams bowling first won the last three matches played in the ongoing Women's Asia Cup at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where in the earlier matches it favoured batting first, while in the recent matches the surface has favoured the bowlers a lot more early on and got better for batting as the match progressed. We predict the team that win's the toss will look to bowl first in this fixture.
