Sri Lanka have played three games and have not won any game so far.

SL-W vs NZ-W: Pitch Report
The wicket in Colombo has been a good wicket for the bowlers. It has helped the fast bowlers get early swing and seam, and the overcast conditions have also played in favor of the pacers. Spinners have also been in the game because of the slowness of this surface, which produces spin and grip. The team that wins the toss should bowl first to use the early conditions.

SL-W vs NZ-W: Probable Best Bowler
Sri Lanka Women: Inoka Ranaweera has played two games, and she already has seven wickets. She is bowling slow and getting good turn, while her line is very tight, producing more options to take wickets.
New Zealand Women: Lea Tahuhu has been the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand. She has seven wickets in three innings, and she is taking wickets with the new ball.
SL-W vs NZ-W Today’s Match Prediction: The record between these two teams shows that New Zealand Women have been very dominant over Sri Lanka Women. They have won more than 90 percent of the games between the two, and all win margins are either 7 wickets or more or more than 70 runs. Even in the current tournament, New Zealand have lost two games, but still, they have shown more consistency overall. The batting units for both teams make a big difference. We believe New Zealand Women will win this game on Tuesday in Colombo.
