Sri Lanka Women will take on New Zealand Women in the final game of the T20 international series. New Zealand has already picked up two victories in the first two games and have won the series. Sri Lanka have one last chance to save themselves from humiliation on the international stage. The third match will be played on July 12. P Sara Oval will be hosting the final game.
In their first meeting of the T20 series, the New Zeland Women’s team managed to pick up a convincing victory against the Sri Lankans. Brilliant bowling performances from Eden Carson, Leigh Kasperek and Amelia Kerr enabled the Kiwis to curb Sri Lanka at a score of 106 while losing nine wickets. During their chase, Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr scored 44 runs and 34 runs, respectively, securing the win for New Zealand.
