Harshitha Madavi Samarawickrama: Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to bat first against New Zealand in the 15th match of the ICC Women's World Cup, here at the R. Premadasa Stadium.

New Zealand have made one change to their lineup, with Bree Illing coming in to replace Lea Tahuhu. Sri Lanka, meanwhile, made two alterations to their side; Malki Madara and Piumi Badalge included in the playing XI, replacing Dewmi Vihanga and Udeshika Prabodhani.

Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu said, "Last two games we struggled to chase and conditions are good for batting. We have to play positive cricket in the middle and as a batting unit we have struggled to do that.
