New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Women Predictions

New Zealand started their campaign with a great win over India and bowled well against Australia before their middle-order folded. They should be far too powerful for Sri Lanka, who have lost their last four matches on the bounce.

New Zealand Women’s Amelia Kerr top-scored with 29 against Australia.
New Zealand Women’s Sophie Devine has scored 35*, 24 & 57* in her last 4 innings.
Sri Lanka Women’s Nilakshika Silva scored 29* against Australia and 22 & 30 in her previous 2 innings.
Sri Lanka Women’s Kavisha Dilhari top-scored with 21 against the West Indies.

Head-to-Head

Sri Lanka won the last match between the two sides, but New Zealand won the previous four matches.

New Zealand Women Form

New Zealand have lost four of their last five matches, but considering that four of those matches were against the world champion Australians, it doesn’t suggest by any means that they are in poor form.

New Zealand bowled superbly to restrict Australia to 148/8 off their 20 overs, with Amelia Kerr (4/26, econ 6.50) bowling particularly well.

Amelia Kerr extended her bowling success to the bat, top-scoring with 29 off 31 balls, but New Zealand lost their last nine wickets for just 34 runs to lose by 60 runs.

New Zealand Women Team News

New Zealand Women are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Sri Lanka Women Form

Sri Lanka suffered their fourth loss in a row when India beat them by 82 runs to end their playoff hopes.

India piled on the runs against the struggling Sri Lanka bowlers, posting 172/3 off their 20 overs. Ama Kanchana (1/29) returned the best figures for Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka slipped to 6/3 before Kavisha Dilhari (21) and Anushka Sanjeewani (20) briefly stabilised the innings, but they were no match for the Indian attack and were bowled out for 90 with just one ball left of their innings.

Sri Lanka Women Team News

Sri Lanka will be desperate to pick up a win before heading home, but they will need their top order to all be on form if they hope to match the runs from this talented New Zealand side.
