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.
New Zealand batting will be lead the experienced likes of Skipper Sophie Devine, Katey Martin, Amy Satterwaite, and Maddy Green. Natalie Nodd and Francas MacKay are expected to slot in the middle order with all-rounders Hayley Jenson and Amelia Kerr in the lower middle order.
They have a strong pace bowling attack with the likes of Lea Tahuhu, Jess Kerr, Hannah Rowe, and Hayley Jenson. Amelia Kerr and Amy Satterwaite will take care of tehspin department in the middle overs especially.
Top players to bet on:
Natalie Nodd – Nodd had scores of 30 & 97 in the two practice games against the England team and will be looking to replicate her form in this match too against the same England team.
Amelia Kerr – Amelia Kerr is lead spinner for Kiwi team in both ODIs & T20Is and she has played already 35+ matches in both formats. We expect her to lead the bowling attack in this match too.

England has explosive openers in form of Tammy Beaumount and Danielle Wyatt followed by the likes of Heather Knight, Nat Sciver, and Amy Ellen Jones in the middle order who has vast experience in the international stage. Fran Wilson and Katherine Brunt will come in to close the innings with some fireworks.
Pacers Kate Cross, Freya Davies, and Katherine Brunt will have a huge role to play in the crucial situations of the match. Spin Twins Sarah Glenn and Sophie Ecclestone will be big force to reckon in the middle overs with Mady Villiers for company.
Top players to bet on:
Danielle Wyatt – Wyatt has scores of 35 & 54 in the two matches she played in practice games. We expect her to continue her onslaught in the power play overs in this match too.
Sophie Ecclestone – Sophie will be a tough bowler to deal with her tight bowling line and lengths in the middle overs. She can also be handy with the bat scoring effective runs at the lower order for the team.
