After winning the WODI series 2-1, Sri Lanka Women will be looking forward to taking on New Zealand Women in another format. This is Sri Lanka Women’s first match in this format since beating Bangladesh Women by 44 runs in May.
There were runs for Nilakshi de Silva (63 not out from 39 balls), Harshitha Samarawickrama (51 not out from 42 balls) and Chamari Athapththu (32 runs from 23 balls at the top of the order) in Sri Lanka Women’s last WT20I. Athapaththu comes into this match in fantastic form.
Udeshika Prabodhani, Kawya Kavindi and Inoka Ranaweera both took 2 wickets in Sri Lanka Women’s final WT20I against Bangladesh Women in May. All three are expected to be selected for this match and we expect them to be the main threat with the ball for the home side.
Sri Lanka Women lost their opening game of the series against Bangladesh Women but bounced back to win the series. The hosts are looking for their third successive WT20I in this clash.

Losing the WODI series was certainly not part of the plan for New Zealand Women on this tour of Sri Lanka and the team will be determined to produce far stronger performances in this format. This is New Zealand Women’s first WT20I since the Women’s T20 World Cup in February.
Suzie Bates (56 runs from 49 balls) and Amelia Kerr (66 runs from 48 balls) were the stars with the bat the last time New Zealand Women played in this format. Bates has already impressed on this tour and she will take on the responsibility of scoring big runs in this game.
New Zealand Women‘s bowling attack all picked up wickets when they last played Sri Lanka Women in a WT20I, however, they have found taking wickets a harder task during this tour of Sri Lanka. Lea Tahuhu took 5 wickets during the WODI series and bowls with excellent consistency.
New Zealand Women come into this match after winning their last two WT20Is. They have won three of their last five matches in this format.
Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout (wk), Melie Kerr, Sophie Devine (c), Maddy Green, Georgia Plimmer, Brooke Halliday, Lea Tahuhu, Molly Penfold, Eden Carson, Fran Jonas
Ahead of this tour, most pundits would have been expecting an easy victory for New Zealand Women in both the WODIs and the WT20Is. However, Sri Lanka Women have been excellent and fully deserved their WODI series win. We are predicting a close contest but are backing New Zealand Women to get off to a winning start in this WT20I series.
