Broooke Halliday plays spin well and was instrumental in the last game against Bangladesh women with a fifty. She is the only left-hander in the side and will be a key figure.
The Sri Lankan skipper hasn't been at her best in this World Cup so far. However, she still remains a big threat for the opposition.
The Sri Lankan right-hand batter has scored 279 runs from the last 10 innings in Women's ODI at an average of 31.
Check out our prediction for the NZ-W vs SL-W 15th match of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.
New Zealand Women will head into Match 15 of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 with renewed belief after a commanding 100-run win over Bangladesh Women. That victory not only broke their two-match losing streak, against Australia and England, but also reignited their campaign with a much-needed boost in net run rate and morale.
The batting unit finally clicked, with senior players stepping up and the middle order showing stability. Their bowlers, too, delivered a clinical performance, bundling out Bangladesh with sharp lines and disciplined spells. This comprehensive win should give the White Ferns plenty of confidence as they prepare to face Sri Lanka Women at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on October 14.
Sri Lanka, while capable of springing surprises, have struggled for consistency, making New Zealand the clear favorites. However, the subcontinental conditions could pose a challenge, especially for the Kiwi spinners. Expect New Zealand to stick to their strengths, early breakthroughs with the ball and a solid top-order foundation, to build momentum and push for a semi-final spot. A win here could be the turning point they’ve been waiting for.
Sri Lanka Women will be eager to break their winless streak as they take on New Zealand Women in Match 15 of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. After suffering defeats to South Africa and England, and seeing their clash against Australia abandoned due to rain, the hosts are still searching for their first points on the board.
Despite flashes of individual brilliance, Sri Lanka have struggled to string together a complete performance. Their top order has lacked consistency, and the bowling unit has found it tough to contain stronger batting line-ups. Playing at home could offer a much-needed edge, especially with spin-friendly conditions at Premadasa.
Facing a rejuvenated New Zealand side fresh off a dominant win over Bangladesh, Sri Lanka will need to be sharp in all departments. Captain Chamari Athapaththu’s leadership and experience will be crucial, while players like Inoka Ranaweera and Harshitha Samarawickrama must step up to challenge the Kiwi momentum. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
