NZ-W vs SL-W Team Previews
New Zealand Women
After suffering consecutive losses at the start of the tournament, New Zealand roared back to form in their latest fixture, defeating Bangladesh by 100 runs. That should give the team some amount of confidence as it looks to improve its position on the points table.
Sophie Devine has been in red-hot form with the bat, scoring 2 half-centuries and a century, and is the leading run-scorer of the tournament. She, along with Brooke Halliday and Isabella Gaze, makes a strong core of the batting line-up.
However, the opening pair of Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer hasnāt been consistent. Getting a strong start will be the key for New Zealand in this match. Maddy Green, who is among the more experienced batters in this squad, has also struggled and is averaging just over 16 runs in 3 innings.
The bowlers have done a better job in comparison. Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr make up for a strong new-ball pair and have picked up 7 wickets each. They will be supported by Rosemary Mair. Amelia Kerr and Eden Carson will feature in the spin department.
New Zealand Women Expected Playing 11
Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Sophie Devine (C), Amelia Kerr, Isabella Gaze (WK), Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Jess Kerr, Rosemary Mair, Eden Carson, Lea Tahuhu

Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lankaās start to this tournament hasnāt been perfect as they are yet to win a match. The solitary point they have against their name is thanks to a rain-affected match against Australia.
Sri Lankaās batting hasnāt been the best as they have struggled against the new ball and spin. The opening pair of Chamari Athapaththu and Hasini Perera has struggled to give the team a good start, and that has had a cascading effect on the middle order.
Sri Lanka has plenty of experience in its batting line-up including the likes of Harshitha Madavi, Vishmi Gunaratne, and Anushka Sanjeewani. However, none of them have been able to make much of an impact on the teamās fortunes. A lot was expected from Kavisha Dilhari, who is one of the teamās best all-rounders.
However, her performance with the bat and the ball has a lot to be desired. Inoka Ranaweera is the teamās best bowler with 7 wickets and could play an important role during the middle overs. She will have the support of Sugandika Kumari. Udeshika Prabodhani continues to lead the attack with the new ball.
Sri Lanka Women Expected Playing 11
Chamari Athapaththu (C), Hasini Perera, Anushka Sanjeewani (WK), Kavisha Dilhari, Vishmi Gunaratne, Nilakshi de Silva, Dewmi Vihanga, Sugandika Kumari, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera, Harshitha Madavi
NZ-W vs SL-W Toss Prediction
3 of the 4 completed matches played in Colombo during this tournament were won while batting first. Also, in three of those games, the team winning the toss opted to field first. However, we feel that batting first might be the way to go here.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Colombo is usually good to bat on, especially during the first half. While there is some amount of grass on the surface, the ball comes nicely onto the bat, and playing shots will get easier once the batters settle down. The team batting first will look to score around 260-280 runs.
The pitch does slow down during the second half, and the ball grips the surface, spinning quite a bit if pitched in the right areas.
The weather is likely to remain overcast throughout the day, and there is a high probability that rain will interrupt play.
NZ-W vs SL-W: Who Will Win?
We are backing New Zealand to win this match. While their start wasnāt good, they played well in the previous match and will likely carry the momentum in this fixture as well. Also, they have an excellent record against Sri Lanka, giving New Zealand a psychological edge.
Bet on New Zealand Women to win.
NZ-W vs SL-W win percentage stands at 67% in favor of NZ-W.
