SL-W vs NZ-W Probable Best Performers

Probable best batter:

Chamari Athapaththu

The Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu failed to open her account in the first T20I against the White Ferns as she headed back to the pavilion for a first-ball duck. However, she has proven her lethal hitting exploits on numerous occasions and will be raring for an improved outing in the forthcoming contest.

Probable best bowler:

Inoshi Priyadharshani

The veteran off-spinner in her last outing claimed three scalps for just 17 runs in her four over at a solid economy of 4.25. Inoshi Priyadharshani will look to maintain her form and play a vital role with the ball to help her side get ahead in the contest.
