Preview

New Zealand Women will take on Sri Lanka Women in the third T20I match of the Sri Lanka Women tour of New Zealand. This match will be played at University Oval in Dunedin. After winning the ODI series with a dominant whitewash at home, the New Zealand women’s team suffered a defeat in the opening first T20I against Sri Lanka and then bounced back to win the second match.

Sri Lanka Women won the opening match of the series against New Zealand by seven wickets. They restricted New Zealand Women to 101 in the first innings and it proved to be a below par total as Sri Lanka cruised to the chase on the back of a half century by Chamari Atappattu. The series is level at 1-1 with this being the series decider.

The second match was won by New Zealand Women by seven wickets. They chased down a target of 113 with seven wickets spare. The series is levelled at 1-1 and this will be a great series decider. This should be a closely fought game
