Sri Lanka Women

Unlike their counterparts, the Sri Lankan Women have not had an excellent record in recent T20I games. They have lost four out of their last five games and their previous match against New Zealand Women. They squandered the early lead they had acquired against the Kiwi women in the T20I series.

Several Lankan batters, such as Chamari Athapaththu, Manudi Nanayakkara, and Nilakshika Silva, got a start during the Lankan innings, but none could convert it into a big score. Sri Lankan bowlers, to their credit, bowled tightly and tried to choke the New Zealand innings, but they did not have enough runs on the board.

Harshitha Samarawickrama will lead the Sri Lankan batting charge in this contest. She has scored 296 runs in her last ten games for Sri Lanka Women with an average of 37 and a strike rate of 115.62. The Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu has scored 256 runs from her last eight games with an average of 36.57 and a strike rate of 109.87.

Udeshika Prabodhani has picked up eight wickets from her previous seven games with a strike rate of 18. Sugandika Kumari has also picked up seven wickets from her last nine games with a strike rate of 27.28.

Over the years, four women's T20I games have been played at the University Oval in Dunedin. The teams batting first have won three games, while the teams chasing a set score have won just once. So, batting first after winning the coin flip might be on the minds of the skippers.
