ausw vs nzw Match Prediction & Analysis

Australia Women`s team returned to cricket field in good fashion with back-to-back victories to seal the T20I series. Australia won the matches comfortably by 17 runs & 8 wickets margin. They will look to continue their dominance over their neighbors in the third and last T20I match to seal the series in their favor. New Zealand will be dejected after losing the T20I series but will look to win the last t20I to get some much needed confidence before going into the ODI series. We can expect a yet another riveting contest between two of the quality sides in the women’s cricket.

New Zealand Women Preview

New Zealand was rocked by the early wickets of Sophie Devine and Katey martin. But Suzie Bates (22 runs) and Amy Sattherwite (30 runs) looked to build the momentum before being dismissed in quick time. Their middle order collapsed from 68/2 to 128/10 in no time.

New Zealand bowlers were left to defend an average score just 128 runs and they were no match to Aussie top order in the chase. Lea Tahuhu and Amelia Kerr picked up a wicket each but was never threatened to derail the Aussie chase.   

Top players to bet on:

Sophie Devine – Sophie Devine had a silent outing after a superb all-round show in the first T20I match. We expect her to stand from the front in the third and last T20I match.

Suzie Bates – Suzie Bates got starts in both the matches scoring 26 & 33 runs respectively. She must look to capitalize on the starts and post a big score to help their team win in this match.

New Zealand Women Predicted Playing XI:

Sophie Devine (c), Katey Martin (wk), Suzie Bates, Maddy Green, Hayley Jensen, Amy Sattherwite, Amelia Kerr, Katie Perkins, Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, Rosemary Mair

Jess Kerr, Amy Satterthwaite, Katie Perkins, Hayley Jensen, Holly Huddleston, Maddy Green, Lea Tahuhu, Amelia Kerr, Suzie Bates, Sophie Devine, Katey Martin

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Brisbane is expected to have bright and sunny weather with no chances of rain on the match day. We expect the match to go ahead with no interruptions.

Venue Details

Allan Border field is one of the good tracks in the Australian circuit where we can expect scores in the range of 140-150 runs. Batsmen will find it hard due to the slowness of the track owing to its used nature. Bowlers must look to trouble the batters early in their innings unsettling them.  

Toss: To Bowl

New Zealand won the toss and lost to win and decided to field first and bat first respectively.  We expect both teams to chase the total in this match as chasing is easier when compared to batting first.
