On October 12, New Zealand Women will face Sri Lanka Women at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Match 15 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024.
Sophie Devines New Zealand side is desperate for a win if they are to boost their chances of making it to the next round. After get over India, they met a heavy loss against Australia and thus suffered a negative net run rate of (-) 0.050.
Sri Lanka also performs very poorly in the recent competition, as they lost in all the games and ranked last in Group A position; 31 runs by Pakistan, 6 wickets to Australia, and 82 runs by India they all conquered them.
The final match means relatively little to Sri Lanka since they cannot qualify anyway. Of course, to achieve the desired victory, New Zealand will deal with Sri Lanka’s mistakes, improve the Kiwis’ chances and Net Run Rate. Facing a struggling Sri Lankan team the White Ferns need to perform to keep their hopes of qualifying alive for the tournament.

Who will win the match?
When they play Sri Lankan women, New Zealand women are probably going to prevail. The squad captained by Sophie Devine is superior, and they are eager to advance to the next round. While their recent loss to Australia was disappointing, they had potential against India.
However, Sri Lanka has had difficulty throughout the competition, dropping all three of their games. They’ve got no incentive because they can’t qualify. Their experience and balance offer them a big advantage against New Zealand.
