Women's T20 WC: Kerr, Devine Shine, But Sri Lanka Fight Back To Restrict NZ To 150/6
T20 World Cup: Kavisha Dilhari took 2-35 while a wicket each from Chamari Athapaththu, Sugandika Kumari, Nimasha Meepage, and Mithali Ayodhya helped Sri Lanka restrict New Zealand Women's innings to 150/6 in the seventh match of Group 2 of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 at The Rose Bowl on Tuesday.
Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine looked set to lead New Zealand Women to a much higher total, but Sri Lanka Women made a strong comeback with regular breakthroughs.
New Zealand chose to bat first for the second match in a row, even after losing their tournament opener. They were confident their bowlers could defend any target. At one point, with captain Amelia Kerr and experienced player Sophie Devine playing well, a score over 165 seemed easy to reach. However, Sri Lanka's bowlers kept taking wickets at crucial moments, preventing New Zealand from running away with the game.
