White Ferns too strong

The White Ferns have beaten the Sri Lanka Women comprehensively by defeating them 5-0.

Sri Lanka never came even close. It's clear that they are not competive against top teams
Totally out of their depth in a away matches.

The White Ferns were very dominant totally outclassed their opponents. What the White Ferns got right is when you're in a dominant position you must take advantage which they did.

It's clear there is a huge gap between the two sides.

There is a huge gap between the top sides and the bottom sides. Sri Lanka isn't ver competitive outside of their own country and good performance away will help they have failed to to that.

The White Ferns are now third on the on the Women's Championship. The top four qualifies for the Women's World Cup.

For the White Ferns it's now the series against the world champions Australia and a tour of South Africa

It's now the T20 series which might be closer. Still expect the White Ferns to win that series 3-0.

For some of the White Ferns is now the off to the Women's Big Bash.

White Ferns murdered Sri Lankan Women

The series between the White Ferns and the Sri Lanka Women it is clear that the Sri Lanka Women has a long way to go to be compectitive outside of Sri Lanka.

The White Ferns scored  326/5 that is ahuge score in Womens cricket.With Rachel Priest scoring 157 that is a great score. To achive a rate of greater than a riun a ball is always a great effort that is good attacking cricket and which never desvered to be redited as such a 196 run partnership laid the foundation for such a score a 80 by Suzie Bates was also a great score.

You know you have posted a good score when theopposition side is dismissed for less than the top score. When chasing down big scores a lot must go right for you. The secret is to be ahead of the secoring rate which never reach 138.

The White ferns win by 188 runs it is a humilation. Whether it will give the White Ferns enough confidence to tackle the world champions the Southern Stars is an queston which would be only answered in a few months time. The White Ferns consolidates third place on Women's Table.

The White Ferns win the series 3-0. The White Ferns has the Southern Stars at home and the Women Proteas away an ever inproving side. The White Ferns have not qualiflied for the next women's world cup yet but are in a strong position to do so.

It would be great for the southern hemisphere if theee of their sides can do so

White Ferns win series with a crushing win

Sri Lanka came to the second in a must win match in the ended the match lasted only a few short of 62 overs.

Sri Lanka was send in to bat could only make 126 was bowled out in the 47th over.

New Zealand scored the runs at a T20 rates won the game before the 15th over was completed this was a crushing win by wickets and ball 213 Balls were remains.

Sri Lanka has a long way to go to be able to compete away from home.

New Zealand Women move into third place in the  Women's table. Top four teams qualify
