Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lankan Women have had a wretched time in the middle recently. They have lost all their last five games in the T20I format. To make matters worse, they have a terrible head-to-head record against New Zealand Women. They also lost the ODI series and have yet to register for their first tour win.
They have some good players in the team, such as their skipper Chamari Athapaththu and Harshitha Samarawickrama. But whether they can transcend the talent into wins for the country remains to be seen.
In all formats, the Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu leads the batting charge for Sri Lanka Women. In the T20I format, she scored 337 runs in her last eight games, with an average of 56.17 and a strike rate of 129.61. Harshitha Samarawickrama has also scored 309 runs from her previous ten appearances with an average of 44.14 and a strike rate of 120.23.
Kavisha Dilhari will be leading the Lankan bowling charge in this contest. She has picked up nine wickets in her last ten games with a strike rate of 18.66. Udeshika Prabodhani has also picked up eight wickets from her last eight matches with a strike rate of 20.25.

NZ-W vs SL-W Toss Prediction
Two women's T20I games have been played at the Hagey Oval ground in Christchurch. Both these games have been won by the teams setting a target. So, the skipper winning the coin flip might look to bat first and raise a big score on this track.
Pitch and Conditions
The surface at the Hagley Oval usually assists the pacers, especially at the start of the inning. But it quickly settles into a good batting track. Batters enjoy the even pace and bounce offered by this surface. Spinners are unlikely to get much purchase from this surface. We are expecting clear weather on Sunday morning in Christchurch.
The temperature during the game will be close to 34 degrees celcius, and there is no possibility of getting showers.
NZ-W vs SL-W: Who Will Win?
Most people will reckon the victory by Sri Lankan Women in the first T20I to be a fluke. It is unlikely to be repeated. But they have proved they can beat this better side on their home turf and cannot be written off. The New Zealand Women have a better balanced and in-form side that is likely to bounce back from this defeat and square this series.
NZ-W vs SL-W win percentage is heavily in favor of New Zealand Women, currently at 75%.
We reckon New Zealand Women will start as favorites to win this contest.
