Seddon Park, Hamilton is the venue for this opening fixture of Zimbabwe Women's tour of New Zealand and we can expect a good number of supporters to attend making for an exciting atmosphere on Tuesday evening local time.

TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Women Preview
This series represents the beginning of a new era for the White Ferns who come into this series following the appointment of Amelia Kerr as their new skipper across all formats.
She replaces Sophie Devine, someone who has not been selected for this series, and the White Ferns will also be without Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu who are vastly experienced.
With the bat, expect Kerr and Georgia Plimmer to be the main run scorers at the top of the order.
With the ball, Rosemary Mair, Jess Kerr and Kayley Knight will be a threat.
New Zealand Women Predicted Playing XI:
Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr (c), Bella James, Bree Illing, Izzy Gaze, Maddy Green, Jess Kerr, Polly Inglis (wk), Rosemary Mair, Nensi Patel, Kayley Knight,
New Zealand Women Actual Playing XI:
Maddy Green, Georgia Plimmer, Brooke Halliday, Amelia Kerr, Nensi Patel, Isabella Gaze, Polly Inglis, Izzy Sharp, Bree Illing, Jess Kerr, Rosemary Mair
Zimbabwe Women Preview
After a very disappointing Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in Nepal earlier this year, Zimbabwe Women will be hoping to raise levels with both bat and ball during this tour of New Zealand.
Batting wise, there are only a few players in the ZImbabwe Women squad who have the ability to attack strong international batters.
Beloved Biza and Kelis Ndhlovu both impressed in the final match of the T20 World Cup Qualifier with the bat and we expect them to be the top run scorers for the tourists in this fixture.
With the ball, Josephine Nkomo has a strong WT20I record and will be a threat with the new ball.
Zimbabwe Women Predicted Playing XI:
Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (c), Beloved Biza, Modester Mupachikwa, Kelis Ndhlovu, Loreen Tshuma, Josephine Nkomo, Chiedza Dhururu (wk), Christabel Chatonzwa, Lindokuhle Madhero, Kudzai Chigora, Nomvelo Sibanda
Zimbabwe Women Actual Playing XI:
Chiedza Dhururu, Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, Kelis Ndhlovu , Nomvelo Sibanda, Beloved Biza, Christabel Chatonzwa, Nyasha Gwanzura, Tendai Makusha, Josephine Nkomo, Loryn Phiri, Loren Tshuma
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
According to the weather forecast, it will be a cold and cloudy evening in Hamilton on Wednesday. Expect a high temperature of ten degrees with humidity above 90%.
NZW vs ZIM-W Pitch Report
Seddon Park is often a green-topped pitch and so there will be assistance for the pace bowlers. Expect a par score in the first innings to be no higher than 125.
Toss: To Bowl
Both teams have weaknesses in their batting line-ups so we expect the captains to want to bowl first if they win the toss ahead of this opening WT20I in Hamilton on Wednesday.
NZW vs ZIM-W
Winning Prediction
Neither team has been in strong form in WT20I cricket of late but with the temperature expected to be so low, we anticipate Zimbabwe Women will struggle. Our prediction is for a home victory.
We are backing New Zealand Women to win!
