New Zealand took on Sri Lanka in the 15th match of the Women's T20 World Cup 2024 at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday, October 12. Already eliminated after three losses, Sri Lanka opted to bat first with the aim to end the tournament on a high note.

On a slow wicket, they posted 115/5 with skipper Chamari Athapaththu top-scoring with 35 (41). Amelia Kerr and Leigh Kasperek shone with the ball with two wickets each while Eden Carson got one.

Ultimately, the White Ferns clinched an eight-wicket win to chase the total in 17.3 overs. With this win, they move closer to a semi-final qualification berth.
