Women's T20 World Cup 2024: 15th Match, NZ-W vs SL-W, Match Prediction - Who Will Win Today?

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. New Zealand too got off to a good start against India but struggled against neighbours Australia and will be looking to get closer to a Semi-Final spot with a good win here.
