Australia’s incredible record against Sri Lanka
Australia will enter the three-match ODI series with a remarkable record in white-ball cricket against Sri Lanka. The Australia Women’s National Cricket Team has won all 19 of its white-ball matches against the Sri Lanka Women’s National Cricket Team since December 2000.
Their last ODI meeting came during a three-match series in Brisbane in October 2019. Australia won all three matches comfortably, and they made a world-record 18 consecutive ODI wins at that time. Amid this, England squad announced for 2027 Women’s U19 T20 World Cup.
The current Australian team led by Sophie Molineux has also been in excellent form, losing only one of its last 14 ODIs. That defeat came against India in the heartbreaking ICC Women’s World Cup semi-final in October last year, which ended Australia's title defense.
Australia enjoys a perfect ODI record in 2026
Australian women have been unstoppable in ODI cricket this year, as they won all six matches played so far. They first completed a clean sweep against India at home before registering another 3-0 series victory against the West Indies women in the Caribbean.
The Caribbean tour also marked the beginning of the Sophie Molineux captaincy era, with Australia making a winning start under their new captain.
Before travelling to Sri Lanka, Australia will also play a three-match ODI series against Bangladesh in Brisbane from October 9 to 14. This will be followed by a three-match T20I series at North Sydney from October 18 to 22.
With an unbeaten ODI record in 2026 and a dominant history against Sri Lanka, Australia will look to continue their winning record when the two teams meet in the ODI series later this year.
