New Zealand will take on Sri Lanka in Match 15 of the ongoing ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday, October 12 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, UAE.
The match will be crucial for the White Ferns, who were handed a heavy defeat by Australia in their last match. New Zealand lost the match by 60 runs, which dropped their net run rate (NRR) to -0.050.

Meanwhile, Sri Lanka will look to end their disappointing World Cup campaign with a win at last. The Asia Cup winners lost all three of their matches so far, which made them the first team to be eliminated from the tournament.
New Zealand hold a position of dominance in head to head record against Sri Lanka. In the 13 WT20I matches played between the two teams, New Zealand have emerged victorious 12 times, with the Lankans winning just one match.
Five of those 13 matches came in T20 World Cups, with New Zealand winning all of the clashes.
