NZW vs SLW Match Prediction & Analysis
The race to the semi-finals is on. India’s recent win against Sri Lanka has made it more exciting. After their recent loss, New Zealand Women dropped two places in the points table to number 4, below Pakistan (3).
Sophie Devine and co. They must win this match by a good margin to bounce back and stay alive in the tournament. Sri Lanka Women have nothing to lose at this point. They can be spoilsport here if they defeat New Zealand.
However, the chances of that happening are very low. Sri Lanka are yet to cross the 100-run mark in this tournament. On a pitch where bowlers dominated previously, Sri Lanka conceded 172 runs in their last match against India.
With the skipper out of form, Sri Lanka Women have no one to look up to in the batting department. New Zealand Women will be eying a comeback with the bat after their dismal performance against Australia.

TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
Sophie Devine will be expecting her key players to find consistency going ahead in the tournament. In the search for a higher NRR, the Whiteferns should not lose sight of the most important thing.
They need to win this match. Their chances of semis will be very high if they beat Sri Lanka and Pakistan. India will be taking on Australia in their last group-stage match and the Aussies are favorites to win.
As such, New Zealand can cruise to the semis if they just focus on winning and get 4 points from their remaining two matches. Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, and Amelia Kerr will be the key batters expected to stage a comeback for New Zealand in this game.
The top 3 batters should look to strike partnerships at the top. Skipper Sophie Devine also brings in plenty of experience at number 4 and will be another one to watch out for.
Though the opposition can be quite challenging to face on this pitch, NZ Women will back themselves to put on a good total if they bat first. Rosemary Mair and Amelia Kerr have looked terrific with the ball and can be the match-winning players for New Zealand.
There is a great balance in this side and despite a huge batting collapse in the last match, New Zealand Women should be able to bounce back comfortably.
NZ-W Over/Under Betting Tips
Amelia Kerr has been the stand out performer with the ball for New Zealand, she picked up four wickets in the last match against Australia and one wicket against India. Overall she has five wickets to her tally. With the pitch favouring spinners and Sri Lankan batters out of form, Kerr will once again have a huge role to play with the ball and we back the leggie to pick up over 1.5 wickets.
Bates has scored 20, 27, 19, 33, and 37 in her last five T20I's. She has been a consistent performer and the leading run-scorer in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup. Against Sri Lanka, she averages 38.4, smashing 384 runs in 10 matches. This is a must-win fixture for the Black Caps, and we back Bates to make an impact with the bat.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine (c), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Isabella Gaze (wk), Rosemary Mair, Fran Jonas, Lea Tahuhu, Eden Carson

Sri Lanka Women Preview
Sri Lanka stand eliminated after 3 consecutive losses. The only thing they can now do is to play spoilsport by defeating New Zealand. The Kiwis would still have a chance but the race to the top 2 in Group A will be more competitive.
Chamari Athapaththu has been the only reliable batter for Sri Lanka in recent times. She would score the majority of the runs leading the side to respectable totals single-handedly.
While she also has the occasional from the likes of Harshitha Samawickrama and Kavisha Dilhari in the middle order, it is evident that without the skipper scoring runs, Sri Lanka cannot put on a decent total.
With Athapaththu out of form in this tournament, there has been no one in this side to rise to the occasion and lead the batting effort.
The middle-order batters have managed to score run-a-ball 20 or 30 odds runs at times but overall it has been a terrible batting performance from Sri Lanka who could not reach the 100-run mark one in 3 matches.
The bowlers, who were the only impactful players in this squad also failed to make an impact as they conceded 170+ against India in the last outing. Sugandika Kumari and Udeshika Prabodhani are the key wicket-takers in this bowling attack that has good variety.
They will be up against a strong NZ batting lineup and given the pitch conditions, skipper Athapaththu will expect her bowlers to deliver big in this match.
SL-W Over/Under Betting Tips
Sri Lanka's performance with the bat has been nothing short of disastrous in the tournament with them failing to score over 100 runs in all the three matches played. But they would like to end their tournament on a high with a win over New Zealand and expect much better batting performance from them and we predict Sri Lanka to hit over 7.5 fours in today's match.
Sri Lanka Women Predicted Playing XI:
Vishmi Gunaratne, Chamari Athapaththu (c), Harshitha Samarawickrama, Kavisha Dilhari, Nilakshi de Silva, Anushka Sanjeewani (wk), Ama Kanchana, Sugandika Kumari, Inoshi Priyadharshani, Udeshika Prabodhani, Inoka Ranaweera

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be a clear and sunny day in Sharjah with a high of 35 degrees Celsius. There are no clouds or rain expected on the match day. The weather conditions may not affect the pitch a great deal and we expect it to be another low-scoring game on a slow-paced pitch at Sharjah.

BalancedBatting Conditions
Moderate ScoringPace Bowling

High Turn
The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is bowling-friendly. Australia's 148 for 8 batting first in the last match is the highest 1st innings total at this venue in this tournament. And 125 runs is the highest score successfully chased on this ground by South Africa Women. Though the average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches at this venue is 139 runs, in this tournament, 140 or more is a match-winning total at Sharjah.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Two of the last three matches played at Sharjah have been over 221 runs, with the average score per innings being around the 110-115 run mark. Expect another low scoring affair and we predict the total match score to be over 221.5 runs.
Toss: To Bat
It is a very low-scoring venue where teams batting first have won 4 of the 6 matches played in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024. Anything around 140 or above will be a competitive score on this pitch. Sri Lanka have played two matches here so far and scored 93 and 85 while batting first and second respectively.
NZW vs SLW
Winning Prediction
Sri Lanka have nothing to lose while NZ will be playing to improve their chances of reaching the semis. It is a tough pitch for the batters and this can be an interesting game as is the case with most low-scoring affairs. New Zealand are the superior side in comparison and are clear favorites in our match prediction.
