ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, Match 15: New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women head-to-head record and predicted XI

New Delhi: Languishing at the bottom of the table in Group A, the Sri Lankan women’s cricket team will look to salvage a win against the New Zealand Women’s team.

Naturally, the Asian champions have to say an early goodbye to the T20 World Cup.

Meanwhile, the New Zealand Women’s team are also making a desperate attempt to grab a win. After defeating India in the first game by 58 runs, the White Ferns were defeated by the Australian team by 60 runs in their next game. Naturally, the White Ferns need a big win against Sri Lanka to increase their hopes for qualification.
