- New Zealand have won 13 of their 15 women’s ODIs against Sri Lanka including their last two in a row but have lost two of their last three matches against them in the format when playing away from home on the day.
- This will be just the fourth meeting between Sri Lanka and New Zealand in Sri Lanka, with the hosts winning two of the previous three despite losing the toss on all three occasions; though, Sri Lanka are on a three-match losing run at home in the format overall.
- This will be the sixth meeting between Sri Lanka and New Zealand at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup and the first since 2017, with the White Ferns winning all five previous encounters by margins of at least seven wickets (x3) or at least 120 runs (x2) on each occasion.
- Sri Lanka have lost 11 of their last 13 women’s ODIs at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, including their last two in a row, while only in their inaugural match at the ground in March 1999 have they won a match when batting first on the day.
- New Zealand have won three of their last five in women’s ODIs after winning only one of their previous eight matches in the format, while each of their last four wins in the format have come when batting first on the day.
- Sri Lanka have lost exactly one wicket during the power play in each of their last seven women’s ODI matches, after losing multiple wickets during the power play in four of their previous six, but have only taken two power play wickets with the ball in hand across their last five games in the format.
- No team has dropped fewer catches at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 than New Zealand (2), who have held on to 18 of their 20 catch attempts; though, both of those drops came in their most recent match against Bangladesh after not dropping any catches across their previous five fixtures.
- Brooke Halliday (New Zealand) has scored 114 runs across her last two ODI innings, including a knock of 69 runs against Bangladesh last time out and will be looking to score consecutive half centuries in the format for just the third time and the first time June 2024.
- Chamari Athapaththu (117) is set to equal Shashikala Siriwardene (118) as the most capped player for Sri Lanka in women’s ODIs, while she (3935) is just 65 shy of becoming the first player to reach 4,000 runs for Sri Lanka in the format and the 20th player overall.
- Suzie Bates (New Zealand) has scored 50+ runs in six of her 11 ODI innings against Sri Lanka, including one century, and has a career batting average of 78.7 against them which is her highest against any of the seven teams she’s faced more than five times.
