New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women Betting Odds

New Zealand Women to have a better opening partnership than Sri Lanka Women

Sri Lanka Women and New Zealand Women head into T20 series after the home side dominated the ODI series. The first game between the two sides was called off due to rain but the last two games were dominated by New Zealand Women as they sealed the series 2-0. This would be the first time New Zealand Women would play a T20 game since their heroics in the T20 World Cup where they beat South Africa Women in the finals. They head into this game after five wins in the last six matches. On the other hand Sri Lanka Women have struggled to make an impact in the T20 format as they have lost five games on the bounce. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact in the last ODI game between the two sides New Zealand openers dominated this game and had a better opening partnership on the day which makes us believe they would once again end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
