New Zealand will look to keep their winning run going when they face co-hosts Sri Lanka in match #18 of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup. This group stage match will be held at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday, and our prediction is for the White Ferns to win over Sri Lanka.
New Zealand are fifth and just outside the knockout places after three rounds (W1, L2). Sri Lanka currently ranks seventh after three rounds, with two losses and one no result (L2, NR1). The top four teams move to the knockout stage.
New Zealand defeated Bangladesh by 100 runs last Friday to register their first win of the tournament. Australia (by 89 runs) and South Africa (by six wickets) defeated them earlier.
Their hopes of posting back-to-back wins depend on the performances of Sophie Devine (260 runs, 1x100, 2x50) with the bat. Among the bowlers, Lea Tahuhu and Jess Kerr have taken seven wickets each.
Sri Lanka were thrashed by England by 89 runs last Saturday to extend their search for a win in this tournament. They lost to India (by 59 runs), while the game against Australia was abandoned.
The batters have disappointed, with the highest aggregate being 62 runs by Harshitha Samarawickrama. The bowlers have fared slightly better, with the left-arm spinner Inoka Ranaweera taking seven wickets.

Our New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women Prediction
After two disappointing defeats to start their campaign, New Zealand got back on track with a thumping win against Bangladesh. There’s still a lot of ground to cover, and with their next two games against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, the White Ferns will look to keep their momentum going. Sri Lanka haven’t had any success in the tournament and are likely to treat this as a free-hit game where they can trouble New Zealand.
This is still New Zealand’s match to lose, and our New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women prediction is New Zealand Women wins the match.
