lanka face NZ threat

Published on: 

New Zealand women’s cricket team is high on confidence after beating Australia in T20 series earlier this month. Third ranked Kiwis will look to start the ICC WorldT20 tournament against Sri lanka on a winning note at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium here on Tuesday.

Balanced Squad: New Zealand seems to have the edge over other teams by virtue of form and a settled, experienced team. They also will be eager to lift their maiden World T20 trophy after being the runners-up in the first two editions of the competition. New Zealand, however, lost both their warm-up games against the England women in Chennai.

Underperforming lanka: Whereas the Sri lankan team will rely on the talent of skipper Shashikala Siriwardene and Chamari Atapattu. They have to forget about the past where they have underperformed and look for fresh start.

Erin Speaks: We had the privilege of playing them earlier. They are a dangerous side and we have to be at our best and keep our winning momentum and attitude in our mind.
