Here are the top 3 bowlers to watch out for from the NZ W vs SL W match –

Malki Madara was the key reason behind SL’s win in the first T20I. The emerging bowler claimed 3 wickets by conceding just 14 runs in her spell of 3.5 overs. She claimed the wickets of Suzie Bates, Emma McLeod, and Eden Carson. Scoring runs off her bowling is a difficult task in the middle overs phase. She is also a wicket taking option with the old ball.
Rosemary Mair

Rosemary Mair is a genuine wicket taker with the new ball. Even with the old ball, she can be effective. While she wasn’t able to claim a wicket in the first T20I, the Kiwi bowler will hope to return to form in the second T20I. She can take the wickets of some of the best batters in the world. Rosemary was slightly expensive in the first T20I, but can return with a bang when needed the most.
Jess Kerr

Jess Kerr was NZ Women’s best bowler in the first T20I. In a game which was dominated by SL Women, she was a bright spot. With the ball, Kerr claimed 2 wickets and conceded just 18 runs in her 4 overs. She is very effective with the new ball and can claim wickets even with the old ball. She needs support from her teammates from the other end.
