New Zealand Women are favorites to win
Match 8 of the Women’s Cricket tournament as part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games sees New Zealand Women and Sri Lanka Women go head to head on Tuesday afternoon. New Zealand Women got off to a winning start against South Africa Women on Saturday. Sri Lanka Women were beaten by the hosts England Women. Read on as we preview this day-night WT20I. The Group B match begins at 18:00 local time.
New Zealand Women are not considered to be favourites for this tournament but have been building momentum under the radar. They never looked like losing to South Africa Women and should be too strong in this game.
Sri Lanka Women impressed with the ball against England Women and we expect them to take wickets again in this match. However, their batting must improve if they are to challenge a side of New Zealand Women’s level.
This match will be shown live on BBC One and BBC Two.
Commonwealth Games 2022 Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the BBC iPlayer and Sony Liv App.
Both teams batted first in their opening games with differing results. We expect the ball to move through the air more as the game goes under lights and expect both skippers to want to bat first.
We have seen swing for the medium and quick bowlers as well as turn for the spin bowlers in Birmingham. The pitch has not been as quick as the stroke-makers would like so far.
Cloudy and humid throughout this game. There is no danger of rain interruptions across this match.

The White Ferns produced a professional and disciplined performance to beat South Africa Women on Saturday. Only three batters were required as they posted 167-2 before the bowlers kept the opposition at arms length throughout their reply. There are no injuries in the squad at the moment.
New Zealand Women have emerged as winners in three of their last four games in this format. They were too strong for South Africa Women on Saturday.

Batting is the achilles heel for this Sri Lanka Women side and when Chamari Atapattu does not make a big score it is very tough for them to post a defendable team total. None of the batters hit a six against England Women but we do expect them to keep faith with the same XI in this match.
Sri Lanka Women have won only one of their last seven matches in this format and do tend to struggle against the best sides.
Chamari Atapattu (c), Vishmi Gunaratne, Hasini Perera, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Ama Kanchana, Oshadi Ranasinghe, Sugandika Kumari, Inoka Ranaweera, Achini Kulasooriya
Sri Lanka Women have lost all eight fixtures against New Zealand Women in this format since their first meeting in 2010. The smallest margin of defeat was 11 runs in November 2015.

The bookies are expecting to see a very one-sided affair at Edgbaston on Tuesday evening. They have New Zealand as heavy favourites.
The New Zealand Women openers have a huge amount of experience and runs behind them in this format. Chamari Atapattu also does but lacks support from other players in the batting line-up.
Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr are our batting picks for New Zealand Women. Kerr played for the team and gave the strike to Suzie Bates when batting on Saturday. However, she is an excellent player with two international centuries to her name.
We are backing Chamari Atapattu, Hasini Perera and Vishmi Gunaratne as our batting recommendations for Sri Lanka Women. Perera scored the most boundaries of all her team in their opening match.
Our bowling tips are Sophie Devine, Amelia Kerr and Hayley Jensen for New Zealand Women. Kerr got the big wicket of Amelia Kerr at Edgbaston on Saturday.
We expect Inoka Ranaweera, Oshadi Ranasinghe and Sugandika Kumari to stand out with the ball for Sri Lanka Women. Kumari opens the bowling and her left-arm spin will be hard to face on this pitch.
New Zealand Women were unspectacular but got the victory against South Africa Women to begin their campaign. Their top order batters were very impressive and we expect them to dominate in this game also. Sri Lanka Women always have their moments in matches but struggle to maintain a performance over all 40 overs. We are predicting New Zealand Women to win again.
