Sri Lanka Women

The first ODI between the two teams played yesterday had to be abandoned due to rain. The game was evenly poised, although the New Zealand bowlers were in a slightly better position when the heavens opened.

The Lankan innings was in troubled waters immediately at the start when Bree Illing dismissed the Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu for nine. But Vishmi Gunaratne and Harshitha Samarawickrama were involved in a useful partnership that took the score to a position of safety.

Chamari Athapaththu will lead the Lankan batting charge in this contest. She has scored 467 runs in her last ten appearances with an average of 58.38 and an excellent strike rate of 98.52. Vishmi Gunaratna scored 318 runs from her last ten games for Sri Lanka with an average of 35.33 and a strike rate of 75.53.

The pitch at the Saxton Oval in Nelson might wear during the second innings. So, the skipper who wins the toss might wish to bat first on this venue as this is an ODI game.

Pitch and Conditions

The surface at the Saxton Oval tends to slow down in the second innings. That aside, it is a good track for batting. The teams batting first have raised big scores on this pitch in the past. We are expecting mostly cloudy conditions during the contest.

The temperatures during the game will remain close to 21 degrees.
