What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for SL-W vs NZ-W, 1st ODI?

Top Pick – Batter

Suzie Bates is the all-time leading run-scorer for New Zealand Women in the ODIs. In 148 matches, he has scored 5267 runs at an average of 41.47 which includes 12 centuries and 31 half-centuries.

Top Pick – All-Rounder

Sophie Devine is a bankable all-round cricketer who has amassed 3330 runs in 134 ODIs at an average of 30.27 and picked up 89 wickets with the best figures of 3 for 34.

Top Pick – Bowler

Inoka Ranaweera is a veteran left-arm-spinner who has scalped 71 wickets in 67 ODIs with the best figures of 4 for 39 and collected 196 runs at an average of 8.52.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper

Bernadine Bezuidenhout made her ODI and T20I debut for South Africa Women back in 2014 and now represents New Zealand Women. In her 13 ODIs so far, she has scored 125 runs at an average of 13.88 with the highest score of 43.

X-Factor:

Chamari Atapattu is the star attraction in the Sri Lankan line-up. The 33-year-old all-rounder is just short of 49 runs from scoring 3000 runs in the ODIs. She can even make a difference with the ball as well.

Pre-Match Analysis:

Sri Lanka Women have kept their core side that won the series 1-0 against Bangladesh last month. They have played 7 full matches in the ongoing ICC Women’s Championship and sit in the 7th spot in the standings with 6 points. Chamari Atapattu will remain as their skipper for the series that includes plenty of spinners in the squad to extract the conditions. Their record against New Zealand in the ODIs is underwhelming and looking to make improvise on their results this time.

New Zealand Women have been hit with injuries with their premier players Hayley Jensen and Kate Anderson not recovering on time for this tour. Adding to the misery Jess Kerr too misses out after being hit on the toe while batting in the nets. It’s going to be a challenging series for the side where most of their players don’t have prior experience playing in Sri Lanka. All-rounder Sophie Devine will continue to lead the side. Izzy Gaze and Rosemary Mair make their return to the New Zealand squad as replacements. They have beaten Sri Lanka in their previous five meetings and look to extend their winning run.
