Predicting top 3 bowlers from New Zealand Women vs Sri Lanka Women for their first T20I

After winning the ODI series 2-0, the aim for the defending T20 Women’s World Cup winners will be to win the three-game T20I series against Sri Lanka. Suzie Bates and her side have been demonstrating amazing cricket in the last few games to outplay the visitors in all aspects of the game. 

For the Sri Lankans, the T20I is the format where they will want to fight back and show their talents with the bat and ball. Sri Lanka have few game changers with the ball who can trouble the hosts and put up a strong show. 

Here are the top 3 bowlers to watch out for in the NZ-W vs SL -W game 

3. Jess Kerr

Young seamer Jess Kerr comes from a rich cricketing family with elder sister Amelia already a well known player. Jess has played 36 matches in the T20 format and picked 18 wickets and without some of the leading players, this is the chance that Jess Kerr has been waiting for. If she can pick loads of wickets for her side then the 26-year-old can look at becoming a regular member of the side in international cricket. 

2. Sugandika Kumari 

33-year-old left-arm spin bowler Sugandika Kumari has been one of the most consistent bowlers for her side. Kumari has played 85 T20I games for her side and picked 62 wickets with an economy of six runs per over. The left-arm spinner has the ability to acquire good turn and also beat the batter in the flight. Atapattu will hope that Kumari can continue her good form with the ball and help Sri Lanka find some success in the 20-over format. 

1. Fran Jones

20-year-old left-arm spinner Fran Jones is a wicket taking bowler with the ability to beat the batters with her flight and turn. Jones has picked 30 wickets from 39 matches in the T20I format and will want to test herself against Sri Lanka who are good players of spin. Jones also has an economy rate of 5.9 runs per over with a best of 4 for 22 with the ball.
