They have completed five of the seven rounds and are placed comfortably in the rankings, but will not take Sri Lanka Women, placed eighth in the table with five points. "We go out there to win every game we play in, and this series is no different. We’ve been in pretty good form in One Day cricket, so we’re looking forward to testing ourselves in different conditions against a good team," stated Australia Women's skipper Meg Lanning. "We have a good team consisting of experience and talent. The first three games of the ODI series -- the first bilateral ODI series between Sri Lanka and Australia women -- will count as part of qualification for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017, the fourth match and the only Twenty20 game of the tour will count in the ICC team and individual rankings.
