It will be a huge game for Sri Lanka women when they take on New Zealand in their second T20 clash at the Commonwealth Games 2022 on Tuesday (August 2). A loss vs New Zealand will knock them out of CWG 2022. The Sri Lankan team got off to a bad start in the mega event, losing to England by five wickets. New Zealand, on the other hand, will be quite upbeat after their massive win in the first game vs South Africa. They beat them just 13 runs but defeating South Africa is a big thing at the start of the tournament. The White Ferns, as they are popularly called, will be looking to continue their winning run.
