Sri Lanka are still looking for a win. They have a really good line-up but their acceleration in the middle overs particularly on slow surfaces is a problem as they seem to be getting stuck. They have fond memories of their next opponents though having recently beat India in the Asia Cup Finals. India too are coming in after a good win against Paksitan but will also be feeling the same way about their scoring rate, taking things a little too slow in the middle overs.

Shreyanka Patil

Shreyanka Patil has been in good touch in recent times. She is having a good time and was good in the WPL as well. With spin likely to play a role while the ball stays dry she will have a job on hand as she looks to combine with her fellow spinners to strangle the New Zealand batters.

Chamari Athapaththu

Chamari Athapaththu is into the twilight stage of her career but is also enjoying a rich vein of form. She carried her side to an Asia Cup win and is a Sri Lankan Women's Cricket legend. She loves a challenge and will be eager to set the tournament alight with her performance.
