ENGW vs NZW Match Prediction & Analysis
Despite their skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt being ruled out of this series and the next three WT20Is against India Women, England Women were still way too strong for New Zealand Women in Wednesday's opening game in Derby.
But the White Ferns are made of strong stuff, and particularly with this tour, ending with the Women's T20 World Cup, the end of the road internationally for some of their players, they will not want to pass up the opportunity of a series win in England too easily.
For that reason, we anticipate a closer contest between the sides in Canterbury on Saturday evening.
The sun will be shining and it looks like being an excellent match in the second game of the series.

TEAMS PREVIEW
England Women Preview
England Women produced a fine team performance to beat New Zealand Women in front of the good people of Nottingham on Wednesday evening but there is still plenty more to come from the side.
Incredibly, left-arm spinner, Sophie Ecclestone, recognised as the best spinner in women's cricket, who regularly out-performs all her international colleagues, was the only England Women's bowler to go wicketless on Wednesday and was the most expensive.
Expect Ecclestone to bounce back in this match while Linsey Smith will look to produce incredible figures (1/10 from four overs) once more.
With the bat, Alice Capsey hit 74 not out in the opener and will take the attack to the bowlers once again.
ENG-W Over/Under Betting Tips
Alice Capsey Total Runs Over 21.5 @ 1.85
Alice Capsey played a match winning knock of 74 runs in the last match at Derby steering England to a comfortable 7 wicket victory. She has been in good touch over the last couple of months and heading into the World Cup, Capsey will aim to solidify her spot in the top order. We back Capsey to continue her good run of form and score over 21 runs.
England Women Predicted Playing XI:
Sophia Dunkley, Alice Capsey, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight, Freya Kemp, Dani Gibson, Amy Jones (wk), Charlie Dean (c), Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell

New Zealand Women Preview
There were some positives and negatives for the White Ferns to take back to the team hotel following their defeat in Northampton on Wednesday evening and a stronger performance across the side is expected in this clash.
Georgia Plimmer will once again bat at the top of the order and will be looking to improve on her return of a one-ball duck!
Elsewhere, Sophie Devine proved that she is still a class above the rest with 45 runs from only 22 balls.
With the ball, Bree Illing was the standout performer and England Women's batters looked pretty clueless against her across her four overs in the opening match.
NZ-W Over/Under Betting Tips
Sophie Devine Total Runs Over 19.5 @ 1.85
Devine put on an absolute masterclass with the bat scoring 45 runs in 22 balls, smashing 4 fours and 4 sixes, she hit three sixes in a span of six balls to Sophie Ecclestone. Expect Devine to play similar kind of knock in today's match and score more than 30 runs.
New Zealand Women Predicted Playing XI:
Georgia Plimmer, Isabella Gaze (wk), Melie Kerr (c), Sophie Devine, Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Izzy Sharp, Jess Kerr, Suzie Bates, Rosemary Mair, Bree Illing
