Moving into the details of the first ODI, Sri Lanka was tasked to bat first after losing the toss. Opener Vishmi Gunaratne (30) and No.3 batter Harshitha Samarawickrama's 66 were crucial as they could post 147/5 in 36.4 overs before rain interrupted play. Bree Illing scalped two wickets while Jess Kerr and Suzie Bates pocketed one wicket apiece.

Match Winner: New Zealand Women.

The first ODI between these two sides ended without a result. Sri Lankan batters managed to score only 147/5 in 36.4 overs, indicating New Zealand bowlers’ dominance. That said, we can expect the White Ferns to come out on top in the second affair and take a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.
