Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) and New Zealand Women (NZ-W) are set to face each other in the first T20I of the three-match series on Saturday, July 8. The P Sara Oval in Colombo will host the contest.

Sri Lanka won the ODI series 2-1 and will be high on confidence. They won the third and final ODI by eight wickets (DLS). But the T20 format will be a different ballgame altogether.

On that note, here are three players whom you can pick as captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 team for the SL-W vs NZ-W game
