The White Ferns, New Zealand’s women’s cricket team, lost a historic series to Sri Lanka. In the third game, affected by rain, New Zealand batted first and scored 127 runs for 2 wickets. However, Sri Lanka successfully chased the revised target of 196 runs in 29 overs with 8 wickets and 2 overs remaining, winning the series 2-1. This is the first time in women’s cricket history that New Zealand has lost a series to Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan captain Chamari Athapaththu played a crucial role, scoring an unbeaten century and leading her team to victory. The two teams will now compete in a three-match T20 series, starting in Colombo on Saturday.
