The first One-Day International (ODI) between Sri Lankan women and New Zealand women will take place at McLean Park in Napier on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
Interestingly, the White Ferns have not been very successful in the ODI format, despite being the T20 World Champions. The last four ODI series that the Kiwi women have played have ended in defeat. The format has presented challenges for the Sri Lanka women's team as well. It has been unfortunate for them that they have played Bangladesh Women and Ireland Women in their past two ODI series.
