What is the pitch report for NZ-W vs SL-W, ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, Group 1, Match 17?

It’s not an easy wicket to chase especially under the lights. The team’s batting 2nd has crumbled for below-par scores already in this tournament. Anything more than 140 is a defendable score here.

Pre-Match Analysis:

After losing their first two matches badly, New Zealand Women earned a much-awaited win over Bangladesh Women in their 3rd fixture by 71 runs to keep themselves in the knockout race. Suzie Bates who bagged back-to-back ducks against Australia and South Africa returned to the form with a blistering 81* runs while Eden Carson and Hannah Rowe shined with the ball picking up 5 wickets between them. They must win this match by a huge margin to make it to the semi-finals and need to depend on other results as well. They are currently placed 4th in Group 1 standings with 2 points with a net run-rate of -1.517.

The equation is simple for Sri Lanka Women, a win here will definitely guarantee their semi-final spot. They created an upset by beating hosts South Africa in the inaugural game by mere 3 runs and had the better off Bangladesh by 7 wickets, later tasted their 1st defeat in their following against Australia by 10 wickets. Currently, they are at the 2nd spot in the Group 1 standings with 4 points. Harshitha Samarawickrama and Chamari Athapaththu have struck half-centuries each and are the players to watch out for in this match.
