New Zealand Women will be playing their first ODI series since December last year when they won 1-0 against Bangladesh. In fact, this is the first time they will be seen in any international action since the Women’s T20 World Cup in February.

For Sri Lanka Women, this will be their second home series in the last month and a half. They won a three-match ODI series 1-0 and a three-match T20I series 2-1 against Bangladesh in May 2023.
