ICC Women’s World Cup 2025: Sri Lanka vs New Zealand head-to-head, stats and records

Originally posted on Crictoday | By V.M.Suriya Narayanan | Last updated Oct 14, 2025 6:19 AM ET

The 15th match of the ongoing Women’s World Cup 2025 will witness Sri Lanka Women battling it out with New Zealand Women at the iconic R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Tuesday, October 14.

It’s been a testing campaign for Sri Lanka, who are still searching for momentum. Their first fixture brought a 69-run defeat to India, persistent rain spoiled their second match against Australia, and England’s 89-run triumph added to their woes.

New Zealand enters the tournament with cautious optimism after an inconsistent start. They troubled Australia early in their opening match but lost by 89 runs. A close defeat followed against South Africa, despite posting 232 runs. However, they bounced back with a 100-run win over Bangladesh. Despite some inconsistency, New Zealand’s depth and experience, led by Sophie Devine, Amelia Kerr, and Lea Tahuhu, make them strong contenders, eager to turn potential into consistent success.
