Boland Park Stadium

On the 19th of February, there is going to be an insane clash between two of the most promising teams of this Women’s t20 world cup. New Zealand women will take on Sri Lanka women in the 17th match of the group stage. The match between these two competitive sides would take place at Boland Park stadium in Paarl, South Africa. Both teams have a tonne of talent and potential, so this game is guaranteed to be thrilling. The New Zealand women’s team would be hoping to clinch the point by beating Sri Lanka in this encounter. New Zealand Women’s team lost their first two matches of the group stage against Australia and South Africa. In the first match, Australia beat New Zealand by 97 runs, as the Kiwis managed to get only 76 runs before losing their last wicket. The second match also followed a similar story when South Africa restricted their chase to only 67 runs, winning by a margin of 65 runs. But these setbacks were not enough to throw the Kiwis out of the scheme as they managed to get their first dominating victory against Bangladesh Women where they won by 71 runs, thus improving their net run rate. On the other hand, Sri Lanka started this tournament with two huge victories over South Africa and Bangladesh. They beat South African women in a close encounter where the natives fell short by three runs. Against Bangladesh, the Sri Lankan team made the chase look easy by accomplishing it with 7 wickets and 10 balls to spare. In their third match against Australia, the Sri Lankan team seemed a bit unsettled as they neither managed to score enough runs nor did they take any wickets. Australia beat the Sri Lankan team by 10 wickets and 25 balls to spare. This was a big defeat and a halt to a great start for the Sri Lankan team.

New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women’s Chance of Winning

New Zealand did not play good cricket in the first two matches against Australia and South Africa. But against Bangladesh, we got to see what this side is capable of. Posting a target of 190 after two disappointing defeats in itself is a big victory.

Sri Lanka went through waves of emotions too when they almost lost their chance against South Africa but their bowlers finally controlled the situation to get the result in their favour.

Sri Lanka outplayed Bangladesh to secure another victory before losing the streak to Australia.
