New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in Match 15 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on October 12.
New Zealand Women will take on Sri Lanka Women in Match 15 of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah on Saturday, October 12. New Zealand were handed an expensive loss by Australia in the last game. They lost the game by 60 runs and the setback has dented their NRR. They have won one game playing two so far.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka will enter the contest after becoming the first team from Group A to get eliminated from the tournament. They have played three and lost as many games. They would like to end their dismal appearance in the tournament with a win. A win from here will see them potentially ousting the Kiwis out of the tournament.

Pitch Report
The Sharjah Cricket Stadium pitch is more in favour of the bowlers with batters having a tough time to score runs quickly. Spinners can contain batters here owing to the slow outfield as well. On the weather front, the sky will be clear with no rain threat during the game and temperatures will hover around 28 degrees Celsius.

Probable Predicted XI
New Zealand Women
Rosemary Mair and Amelia Kerr have been in great form with the ball. New Zealand will have to build partnerships at the start, especially, one of the top 3 batters needs to stay for a long time at the crease.
Predicted XI: Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine (c), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Isabella Gaze (wk), Rosemary Mair, Fran Jonas, Lea Tahuhu, Eden Carson
Sri Lanka Women
Sri Lanka have time and again failed to put on a decent total on the board. The heavy reliance on Chamari Athapaththu has worked against them. Moreover, the veteran is not in form in the tournament and there are no substantial contributions from the middle order either.
Predicted XI: Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Ama Kanchana, Sugandika Kumari, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera
