NZ Women Team News & Playing 11
NZ-W Team News
Due to the margins of defeat in their opening two matches, some expected more than the two changes in New Zealand Women’s line-up on Friday. Out went Hayley Jensen and Fran Jonas with Hannah Rowe and Molly Penfold coming into the XI.
NZ-W Key Players
- Suzie Bates- after failing to score in the games against South Africa Women and Australia Women, the experienced opener hit seven fours and one six in her unbeaten innings on Friday.
- Amelia Kerr- the 22 year old all-rounder very rarely fails to contribute with both bat and ball for New Zealand Women. She has four wickets across the competition so far.
- Eden Carson- the 21 year old off-spinner has taken five wickets from her last two games in the tournament. She will be keen to bowl on this Boland Park surface.
NZ-W Team Form
New Zealand Women suffered two heavy defeats in their opening games of this tournament but have won three of their last five WT20Is.

SL-W Team News
Kavisha Dilhari was not selected ahead of the heavy defeat to Australia Women with 27 year old bowler Malsha Shehani coming into the team. Confidence may be far lower ahead of this game but we do not expect any changes to the team.
SL-W Key Players
- Chamari Athapaththu- the captain has scored over 100 runs in the tournament and is Sri Lanka Women’s most consistent batter.
- Harshitha Samarawickrama- the left-handed opener is in strong form after hitting 69 not out against Bangladesh Women and 34 against Australia Women.
- Oshadi Ranasinghe- the 36 year old off-spinner went wicketless against Australia Women but had picked up five wickets across the first two games of the tournament.
SL-W Team Form
Sri Lanka Women were well beaten by Australia Women on Thursday but had won three of their previous four games in this format.

Who will win New Zealand vs Sri Lanka Women T20 Match?
Sri Lanka Women have some good experienced players but New Zealand Women have players with more talent across their team. We expect Sri Lanka Women’s spinners versus New Zealand Women’s top order batters to be a key battle.
NZ Women vs SL Women Prediction
It will be interesting to see how Sri Lanka Women react to their 10-wicket defeat to Australia Women on Thursday. Before that game, they had surprised many with their win over South Africa Women in their opener and were too strong for Bangladesh Women. New Zealand Women finally managed to snap out of their poor batting showing and displayed just how strong a batting unit they have in their last game. If Suzie Bates gets going again then she will be very hard to stop. Overall we are backing New Zealand Women to win.
