New
Zealand Women won by 9 wkts
ust the start New
Zealand wanted. A day to remember for Suzie Bates who is now third in the list
of most ODI hundreds in Womens cricket. They will be next playing South Africa
on Wednesday at the very same venue. Sri Lanka though will hope for a turn of
the tide. They gonna face Australia next, on Thursday. But there's plenty of
Womens World Cup action before that. Don't miss out. Hope you're having a great
weekend. Until next time, cheers!!
Sri Lankan captain
Inoka Ranaweera spoke in Sinhalese. Unfortunately, we couldn't transcribe it.
Apologies for the same.
Suzie Bates: Really pleased with the way we finished.
Didn't start as well as we would have liked. Maybe a few nerves with the ball,
but the way we came back was brilliant. Sri Lanka batted well at the start, and
we could have done a lot more things well. We are playing South Africa next and
we need to be at our best in that game. I did feel a little bit out of touch
before this game, but it's nice to spend some time in the middle and contribute
for the team.
Holly Huddleston,
player of the Match: It's a dream
come true for me. You always want to do well in the first game. I just kept it
simple, bowl decent line and length. I got a little bit of movement in the air
first up and after that it was a pretty decent batting strip. Satterthwaite and
Bates, to bat like that was awesome. My parents coming here to watch the game
is pretty special.
16:34 local: Handshakes all around as Suzie Bates
beams in delight. New Zealand continue to have the edge over Sri Lanka. After
losing 8 wickets for 40-odd runs in the last 15 overs, Sri Lanka had very
little chance of making a comeback in this game. That little chance was to pick
up early wickets and primarily the wicket of Suzie Bates. They did get the
early wicket, that of Rachel Priest, but that remained to be the only joy with
the ball for Sri Lanka. Bates and Satterthwaite bullied the bowlers and milked
runs with supreme ease. Made a mockery of the target and will be mighty pleased
with the net run rate, I'm sure.

Sri Lanka their first wicket. Priest failed to connect with the pull last ball,
this was much fuller and straighter on the stumps, she went for the sweep but
it wasn't the ideal length. She misses it completely and is thudded on the pad.
Looked plumb and would've crashed the middle of middle. Priest lbw b

0.2
Prabodhani to Bates, 1
run, on the pads, flicked away to fine leg
0.1
Prabodhani to
Bates, FOUR, wow. Bates is off and running. Not wasting any time to
dispatch bad balls to the fence. A juicy half-volley on off, Bates leans nicely
forward and presents a straight bat on the drive. Ram-rod straight and it races
away to the fence. Elegance in full display
Bates and Priest are
at the crease. Bates is on strike. Prabodhani will open the attack
Welcome back. The
chase is all set to begin. The Sri Lankan women are warming up near the
sidelines. Their bowling needs to come good today to make up for their
underwhelming batting. Out walk the two batswomen to the middle. Intersting
field placements, must say. There is a leg-gully kinda of fielder in place. Off
we go then.
13:39 Local Time,
12:39 GMT, 18:09 IST: Huddleston's
fifer means that New Zealand will be chasing a score well below 200. At one
stge with Sri Lanka going at a decent rate with wickets in hand, it appeared
that the White Ferns but they made decent comeback during the middle overs to
restrict the Lankan women below 200. Stay tuned for the chase...
