New Zealand’s T20 World Cup campaign got off to a rough start, but a strong bowling performance helped them get back on track and win. Suzie Bates and Maddy Green, among others, also batted well, putting the White Ferns in good position going into this game.

Top Wicketkeeper Pick

She has a strike rate of 152.63 and performed well in the previous game, which she played against Bangladesh. She might be a good addition to your Dream11 prediction team for the NZ-W vs. SL-W matchup because Bezuidenhout is also a great goalkeeper.
Top Batter Pick
Sri Lanka’s top run scorer in the tournament is Harshitha Madavi, who scored 111 runs in three matches. She has so far scored fifty and is averaging 55.50. Madavi is a good choice for your NZ-W vs. SL-W Dream11 prediction team because of her recent form and ability to score big runs.
Top All-rounder Pick
Amelia Kerr is an exceptional all-rounder who is equally gifted with the ball and bat. Kerr has been good with the ball, taking four wickets in three matches, but her batting has room for improvement. Amelia is a must-have for your NZ-W vs. SL-W Dream11 prediction team because the circumstances favor her.

Inoka Ranweera has performed admirably throughout this tournament, taking four wickets in three matches. She has been fairly economical while using the ball, averaging 15.50 per game.

match captain and vice-captain choices

With good reason, Chamari Athapaththu is Sri Lanka’s best player. In three matches in this tournament, she has scored 99 runs and taken two wickets.
