New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women Chance of Winning
The New Zealand Women had the perfect start as the hosts by winning the 3-match ODI series against Sri Lanka 2-0. However, they suffered a morale-defeating loss in the opening match of the T20I series. The Blackcaps were bowled out for just 101 runs with the Lankan women chasing the target down with 7 wickets to spare.
The Sri Lanka Women had a horrid start to their tour of New Zealand as they were whitewashed against in the 50-over format. The T20I series, however, started in spectacular fashion for them as Malki Madara ran through the opposition batting line-up before Chamari Athapaththu scored a half-century to chase the target down.
- New Zealand Women Chance of Winning - 69%

New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women Prediction & Betting Tips 2025
The first match highlighted the talent that Sri Lanka Women captain Chamaru Athapaththu has. The 35-year-old allrounder opened the innings and took just 48 balls to smash 64 runs and emerge as the best batter of the match. She hit more fours and sixes than the entire New Zealand batting line-up in the first T20I and hence, we’re backing her to go big in the match.
Alongside Athapaththu, we also feel Georgia Plimmer will post a big score in the game. The top order batter has scored a fifty in four innings she has played against the Lankans and we feel she has the potential to add to that tally in Christchurch. The 21-year-old’s average of under 15 goes up to nearly 25 in matches involving Sri Lanka.

New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women Betting Odds
Sri Lanka Women to have a better opening partnership in the match
The duo of Chamari Athapaththu and Vishmi Gunaratne is our pick to post a better score for the first wicket in the second T20I as compared to the New Zealand Women opening pair. Twice in the last three games, the Lankan openers outperformed the Blackcaps’ batters. The Sri Lankans have also posted a total of 143 runs in their first ever win over the Kiwis when they chased the target of 141 down without losing a wicket. Hence, we’re expecting the visitors to post a better opening partnership in the match.

New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women Top Batters
Georgia Plimmer to be New Zealand Women’s top batsman
21-year-old top order batter Georgia Plimmer is our pick to be the best of the lot from the Kiwis’ batting line-up. Plimmer may have gotten out early in the first game, but she has already smashed a fifty against the Lankans in four innings. We’re backing her to be the team’s best batter in Christchurch.
Chamari Athapaththu to be Sri Lanka Women’s top batsman
The talisman of the Sri Lankan Women’s cricket team, Chamari Athapaththu scored the bulk of the team’s runs in the opening game. The 35-year-old scored her thirteenth half century in T20 cricket with a dominating knock to lead her team to the win. We’re expecting her to go big once again in the game.
New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women Top Bowlers
Jess Kerr to be New Zealand Women’s top bowler
Despite defending a paltry score of 101, Jess Kerr impressed with the ball, taking two wickets while conceding just 18 runs in her quota of 4 overs. The Lankans only lost three of their batters in the game with the medium pacer contributing to two of them.
Malki Madara to be Sri Lanka Women’s top bowler
The player of the match in the first T20I is our pick to be the best bowler in the second game in New Zealand. The medium pacer used the conditions well and took a wicket in the powerplay and two at the death to restrict the Kiwi women.
