New Zealand Women failed to restrict Sri Lanka under 200; the bowling was not up to the mark. Sophie Devine and Breearne Illing were the only bowlers who were consistently performing for their team, whereas key players like Jess Kerr and Amelia Kerr are not in good form, which impacts the team’s performance in the World Cup.
