SL-W vs NZ-W Match Prediction – Who will win today's 3rd T20I match between New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women?

After sealing the series in the 2nd T20I, New Zealand will be eyeing a clean sweep when they take on Sri Lanka on Wednesday, July 12, at the P Sara Oval in Colombo. Notably, in the last match, Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu were in exceptional form, while Eden Carsen was very economical and will be hoping to continue in the same.

When it comes to the home side, a massive portion of their chance depends on how well Chamari Athapaththu plays. The Sri Lankan skipper was in brilliant form in the ODI series, but she is yet to come to the party in the shortest format. Bowlers, too need to improve as they have struggled so far in the competition.
