On July 12, at the P. Sara Oval in Colombo, the third and final T20I match of the New Zealand Women's tour of Sri Lanka will take place. In this series, spin is in charge, and both sides have let it unleash. The New Zealand Women, who fought well under the spin threat, have emphatically won the away series. To regain their confidence against spin, Sri Lanka will look to pick up a relief victory at home.

Unfortunately, in the first two T20Is on the surface that spins from ball one, Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) were invited to bat. They faced 12 overs of spin from both ends in the opening game and lost six wickets. Although there were 15 overs of spin in the second game, SL batters again toiled against NZ-W, this time against pacer Lea Tahuhu. The team underperformed because the scoring rate was consistently below 6, which led to frequent wicket losses. Their striking rate was significantly impacted by Chamari Athapaththu, their captain, failing at the top.

As they asked the Lankans to bat to exploit their weak spot, the New Zealand Women strategically did well to survive against spin, which led to a low-scoring series win. However, New Zealand Women faced 14 overs of spin in the first game and 12 overs in the second game; they only lost six wickets altogether in the two games, demonstrating their effective response to the Lankan spin attack. To make this series stand out, they might attempt to whitewash the Lankans on their own soil.

C

Amelia Kerr NZ-W | ALL

Amelia's economical spells in the middle overs have been crucial in assisting New Zealand in limiting the opposition to a low score. She has also scored 67 runs in two games and regularly bowls four overs, taking two wickets for 18 runs in the first game of the series.

8.5

Lea Tahuhu NZ-W | ALL

This right-arm medium-fast bowler has collected 20 wickets in her last ten matches with an unbelievable strike rate of 12. In the second T20I, this pacer had cleaned up four wickets for 21 runs on a spin-friendly surface, showing her ability to bowl under any circumstances.

8.5

Udeshika Prabodhani SL-W | BOWL

This left-arm medium-fast bowler has created some pressure in powerplay against New Zealand when others went for plenty of runs. Though she picked up one wicket, her economical spells, like four overs for 12 runs, are impressive, so she may play a role in this game. Also, she has collected 53 wickets in her career.

6

Eden Carson NZ-W | BOWL

This off-spinner has delivered match-winning spells in her first two games. Her two wickets for 20 runs in four overs and one wicket for 15 runs in four overs played a huge role in restricting the Lankans to a low score.

8

Inoshi Fernando SL-W | BOWL

This right-arm off-break spinner is in the early stages of her career. In the first T20I, she was the best bowler for Sri Lanka, picking up three wickets for 17 runs in her four overs.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8

Brooke Halliday

NZ-W | BAT

In the previous two games, she hasn't had the opportunity to bat or bowl, so in the fantasy aspect, it is safe to avoid her on your teams.

7.5

Maddy Green

NZ-W | BAT

She has accumulated just ten runs in her last four outings and has not got an opportunity to bat a couple of times. Therefore, considering her batting position and recent form, leaving her off your fantasy team is safe.cri
