Sri Lanka Women vs New Zealand Women Key Player Battles
Sophie Devine vs Chamari Athapaththu
Both captains are match-winners. Devine’s power-hitting will test Sri Lanka’s bowlers, while Athapaththu’s counterattack could shift the momentum early.
Amelia Kerr vs Harshitha Samarawickrama
Kerr’s leg-spin and smart variations will challenge Harshitha’s patience and shot selection in the middle overs.
Suzie Bates vs Udeshika Prabodhani
Bates’ elegant stroke play will be up against Prabodhani’s left-arm swing, especially dangerous with the new ball.
Jess Kerr vs Nilakshi de Silva
Jess Kerr’s precision and swing will look to break partnerships, while Nilakshi’s ability to steady the innings makes her vital for Sri Lanka.
Lea Tahuhu vs Kavisha Dilhari
Tahuhu’s pace can rattle Dilhari early, but if the Sri Lankan all-rounder settles, she can take the attack back to New Zealand.
SL-W vs NZ-W Win Prediction
The Sri Lankan women’s team is struggling to find rhythm and consistency, while the New Zealand women’s team appears to be regaining its composure after a stellar performance against Bangladesh.
Given their recent form and head-to-head dominance, the Kiwis enter this match as clear favourites. Prediction: New Zealand women will win and continue their winning streak in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.
