Predicting top 3 batters from New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women for their first T20I

Sri Lanka and New Zealand Women’s team will begin their T20I series after the hosts won the ODI series with 2-0 margin. It was a disappointing series for the Lankans who had hoped for a better outing with the bat and ball. The visiting side will hope to do well in the T20I series and put up a better show with the bat. 

New Zealand are without some of the players who are currently playing in the WPL tournament. Despite losing some of their top players, the Kiwis have managed to do well in the series at home against the Lankans. New Zealand are also the current T20 World Cup winners and will hope to assert their dominance against the visitors. 

Here are the top 3 batters to watch out for in the NZ-W vs SL -W game

3. Suzie Bates

Veteran skipper Suzie Bates will be tasked with leading her side not just on the field but also with the bat. Bates has already played 171 T20 matches for her side and scored 4584 runs with one century and 28 fifties.

The 37-year-old had scored a fifty in the final ODI to show her amazing form with the bat.

2. Chamari Atapattu

Veteran Sri Lankan batter and skipper Chamari Atapattu is a Bonafide legend in the game.

The right-handed batter has for long been known as one of the best batters in the world and has the talent to outshine any bowling unit on her day.
