The Sophie Devine-led side are in a desperate search for a win to better their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage. After defeating India in their season opener, they suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of defending champions, Australia. With a negative Net Run Rate of 0.050, the White Ferns will not only look to win the game but also keep their NRR in check.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka have had a disappointing season, losing all three games and languishing at the bottom of the Group A table. The Lankan team suffered crushing defeats to Pakistan by 31 runs, Australia by six wickets, and India by 82 runs. The upcoming game is their final match of the ten-team tournament and doesn’t hold much significance as they have no chance of qualifying.
