Humidity is expected to be high during the second innings, which might affect the game. Toss Prediction: To Bowl.
Recent Form and Key Players
New Zealand Women (NZW): Despite recent struggles, New Zealand will rely on stand-in captain Suzie Bates to lead the charge. They have some experienced players like Brooke Halliday and Isabella Gaze, and with the conditions likely favoring pace bowlers, their bowlers, including Jess Kerr, Eden Carson, and Hannah Rowe, should perform well. Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine’s absence are significant, but the White Ferns still possess depth.
Sri Lanka Women (SLW): The Sri Lankan team will look to Chamari Athapaththu, their top performer, who returns after a successful stint in the Women's Premier League. Alongside her, Vishmi Gunaratne and Kavisha Dilhari will be key with both bat and ball. Sri Lanka Women’s lower-order bowling, including Athapaththu, will be crucial in restricting New Zealand’s strong batting lineup.
