England has won both the ODI matches played so far and have clinched the series 2-0. They will look to make some changes in the playing XI in this last ODI match so as to give chance to squad members.  But they will also be aware of the fact that every match holds ICC ODI championship points and will look to win this match. New Zealand are struggling in the ODI format at the moment with 5 losses on a trot. They will need to put their spirits up and end their losing streak in this match. A win in this match will do them a world of good heading into the T20I series.

TEAMS PREVIEW

New Zealand Women Preview

New Zealand batting unit stumbled at the start as they collapsed to 34/5 in just 13 overs. Brook Halliday then tried to rebuild their innings with a fighting 60 runs from her bat. Lower order duo of Hannah Rowe (28 runs) and Jess Kerr (29 runs) scored some important runs at they ended with 192 runs on board.  

Their bowling unit never seemed to trouble the England team apart from an early couple of wickets. Jess Kerr and Halliday took a wicket each in the match while rest of the 6 bowlers did not take any wickets. They have taken just 4 wickets combined in the 2 matches played so far.

Top players to bet on:

Brooke Halliday – Halliday has scored back-to-back fifties in two matches to lead her team`s batting unit. She is also handy with the ball with figures of 6-0-23-1 across two matches. We expect her to continue her good showing in this match too.

Jess Kerr – Jess Kerr will have a huge role to play with Lea Teahuhu out of the series with injury. She took the early wicket of Wyatt but was unable to stop the opposition thereafter. She must lead the bowling attack of the team.

New Zealand Women Predicted Playing XI:

Natalie Dodd, Hayley Jensen, Amy Satterthwaite, Sophie Devine (c), Amelia Kerr, Katey Martin (wk), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Hannah Rowe, Jess Kerr, Fran Jonas

New Zealand Women Actual Playing XI:

Ellen Jones scored an unbeaten 45 runs to finish the chase once the platform was set.

Pacers Nat Sciver, and Katherine Brunt claimed 5 wickets among themselves to rock to the opposition`s top order. Spinners Sarah Glenn and Sophie Ecclestone dried up the runs in their overs and had combined match figures of 18-1-70-1 in the match.

Tammy beaumount – Beaumont has scores of 71 & 72* in the two matches and she is looking in excellent form and will look to continue her purple patch.

Nat Sciver – Sciver had an all-round performance last night with 63 runs and 3/26 to topple the opposition in both departments. We expect her to make a big contribution in this match too.
