What is the pitch report for SL-W vs NZ-W, 3rd T20I?
It’s tough for the batters to deal against the spinners on this surface as the last two matches saw low-scoring contests. Batting will become much easier once the wicket settles down hence bowling first is a preferable option.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Sri Lanka Women felt clueless with the bat in the first two T20Is which resulted in them losing convincingly by 5 wickets and 8 wickets, and to make it worse they dropped the series already with a game in hand. They were asked to bat first on both occasions where they just made 106 and 118 in the 1st and 2nd T20Is respectively. It’s highly difficult in this format of the game to defend scores that are less than 120 run-mark. With no chance of winning the series, they will be only playing to avoid the whitewash. It’s high time for their established players to raise the bar.
New Zealand Women who lost the preceding 3 matches ODI series 2-1 bounced back pretty well to seal the T20I series 2-0. Toss played a crucial role in their win in the first two T20Is. Experienced batter Suzie Bates played the situation well and scored 96 runs in 2 matches. Amelia Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, and Eden Carson made significant contributions to the team’s success in this T20I series. It’s a great chance for them to make a clean sweep.
