South Africa W vs New Zealand W Betting Odds

South Africa Women to have the highest opening partnership @ 2.00 (Melbet)

South Africa Women scored over 25 runs before the fall of the first wicket in two of the last three ODI matches played. Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits have been in good form and are a formidable opening pair. The opening duo failed to stitch a partnership in the last match and we believe them to bounce back and score the highest opening partnership than New Zealand Women.

Marizanne Kapp to be the top batter for South Africa Women @ 4.33 (Melbet)

Marizanne Kapp has been in good form in recent times but she failed to score runs in the last match. She has scored 153 runs against New Zealand Women and Kapp is one of the leading run-scorers for South Africa Women in the ODIs (177 runs in four matches). Considering her recent form, we back Marizanne Kapp to be the top batter for South Africa Women.

Sophie Devine to be the top batter for New Zealand Women @ 3.75 (Melbet)

Devine has a very good record against South Africa Women in One Day Internationals. She has scored 303 runs in seven matches against South Africa Women. Devine is one of the most experienced players and always delivers under pressure. With the 2nd ODI being a must-win match, we predict Sophie Devine to score a match-winning knock and be the top batter for New Zealand Women.

South Africa W vs New Zealand W Top Bowlers

Nadine de Klerk to be the top bowler for South Africa Women @ 4.50 (Melbet)

Nadine de Klerk picked up two wickets in the last match against New Zealand Women. Klerk has been accurate with her lines and lengths and has been the strike bowler for the Proteas. Klerk has bagged 18 wickets in the last nine ODI matches and has been the most reliable bowler for South Africa Women. We predict Nadine de Klerk to continue her good run with the ball and be the top bowler for South Africa Women.

Jess Kerr to be the top bowler for New Zealand Women 4.50 (Melbet)

Jess Kerr was the top performer with the ball for New Zealand Women in the 1st ODI against South Africa Women. She has picked up 12 wickets in the last six ODI and is one of the key bowlers for the Black Caps. We predict Jess Kerr to produce a match winning spell and be the top bowler for New Zealand Women.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: South Africa Women

The odds in favour of South Africa Women to win the match are 1.84, while in favour of New Zealand Women to win the match are 1.87. South Africa Women continued their dominance against New Zealand Women in the first One-Day International and extended the winning streak to four matches. With the series on the line, it is a must-win match for New Zealand Women. New Zealand's bowling attack is inexperienced which is an area the Blackcaps lack and it gives an advantage to the home team. Based on the recent form and team combination of both teams, our final prediction is South Africa Women to win the match against New Zealand Women.

  • South Africa Women to win the match @ 1.84 (Melbet)
