Sri Lanka are seeking redemption after suffering three back-to-back defeats in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. The Asian side has yet to taste success in the multi-nation competition. Reeling at the bottom of Group A, Sri Lanka are already out of the semi-final race. They, however, will hope to triumph in the last group game to finish the campaign on a positive note.
Sri Lanka are set to face New Zealand in their next World Cup game. The match will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 12.
It will be a must-win game for New Zealand who have managed just one victory in three outings so far. They need to win the remaining two matches to keep their hopes alive. New Zealand blew away India in the tournament opener but failed to showcase their A-game against Australia. The reigning champions beat New Zealand by a huge margin of 60 runs. The Black Caps will meet Pakistan in the last group game, which can emerge as a virtual knockout if they manage to overcome Sri Lanka.
