come true for her side.
"I can't believe it, it's dream come true for us. We finished eighth in the last World Cup. I got a call from my home. The people are excited over there. This is the second match they have seen live. Everything is changing for us," she said.
The island nation has made it to the super six for the first time and Siriwardene said the team hopes to put up a good show.
"This is the first time we are coming to super six, so we are hoping to do well," she said.
The 27-year old is expected to contribute with both bat and ball in what she said could well be her last World Cup appearance.
"I am super happy. This might be my last World Cup," she said.
New Zealand, on the other hand, would try to bounce back after their seven-wicket defeat to neighbours Australia.
Captain and opener Suzie Bates has been in menacing form with a 102 in the previous match, 73 against South Africa and 65 not out against Pakistan.
The middle-order, however, hasn't been clicking for the Kiwis, and they would expect Sophie Devine, who cracked 145 to set her side's easy win over South Africa, to come up with a similar knock against Sri Lanka.
New Zealand would also depend on their bowlers to dismiss the opposition cheaply, like they did against South Africa (170) and Pakistan (104).
Captain Bates would have to rely on pacers Sian Ruck, who took four wickets against South Africa and Rachael Candy, who bagged a five-wicket haul against Pakistan, to get the breakthroughs against Sri Lanka.
