New Zealand Women vs England Women, New Zealand Women vs England Women, Today Match Prediction

nzw vs engw Match Prediction & Analysis

England and New Zealand teams are all stet to take the field after a big gap of more than 3 months for both the teams. New Zealand played only 3 T20Is and 3 ODI matches against Australia down under in the last 11 months while England played 5 T20I matches against West Indies at home. Both teams will look to shrug off their rustiness and put on a superb performance in the field in this match. A win in the opening match will give a good confidence going ahead in the limited overs tour.
