Let’s examine the matchups in detail for the New Zealand vs Sri Lanka ODI Match:

What Sri Lanka has going for it, along with the worries it faces

SL Strengths:

Chamari Athapaththu, holding a lot of experience, is perfect for opening as an aggressive starter.
Off-spinners like Inoka Ranaweera and Sugandika Kumari are the perfect candidates to take advantage of the pitch that is spinning.
Home ground is surely an advantage as they know the do’s and don’ts there.

SL Concerns:

The batting order in the two lower levels is narrow of all, rounders, reserves, so what happens if the openers fail?
Their single, fast, ballers may have a hard time performing on a dry pitch.

The points of New Zealand that set them apart from the rest of the teams

NZ Strengths:

Sophie Devine can lead as a one-woman army.
Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr have good strike and give a strong foundation for the rest of the players to perform.
Jess Kerr and Lea Tahuhu are extremely good with swing and the pace.
Even though they can be with some resistance, high fielding standards can be saving man of the match in crucial moments.

NZ Challenges:

First off, it is very likely that they will be slow in the process of adapting their play style to spin bowling.
They also have to make sure to score in high numbers, especially against spin.
