T20i
University of Otago Oval
Facts:
- England Women have a major leg-up on New Zealand Women by 23-7 in their T20I tally.
- New Zealand Women’s Suzie Bates was the leading run scorer of the T20I series against Pakistan Women prior to this with 97 runs in three innings.
New Zealand Women vs England Women Chances of Winning
New Zealand Women were defeated by Pakistan Women on home soil in the T20I series they participated in prior to this. The first match was rather unfortunate for the home team since they were struggling to withstand Pakistan Women’s bowling attack who took them down one at a time and forced them out for a total of 127 runs. Naturally, NZ Women could not defend this tally. The second time around, they gave in to defeat despite having been tasked with a rather simple chase of 137 runs, which they ended up losing by ten runs. With the series victory out of the question, they refused to settle for a total washout and brought home a six-run victory even though it was too little, too late.
England Women were quite the opposite against India Women in their previous T20I series. They won two remarkably dominant matches and sealed the series victory as the visiting team. They secured a daunting total of 197 runs during the first match and watched their opposition struggle to chase it down. The English side emerged triumphant by 38 runs. England Women made their efforts in the second match look like short work given that they limited the hosts to a mere 80 runs and chased it down with four wickets still in hand. Having brought home the series win, they did not have to try much in the final match and conceded defeat by five wickets to India Women, though it was hardly a dent for the island country.
- New Zealand Women chance of winning - 39%
- England Women chance of winning - 61%
New Zealand Women vs England Women Betting Tips
New Zealand Women to score under 42.5 in the first six overs @ 1.72 (Parimatch)
New Zealand Women have not surpassed the 40-run mark during the powerplay in several of their T20I matches in the recent past. Their last T20I series was against Pakistan Women where the team scored 39, 29 and 34 runs in the first six overs. Moreover, their two completed T20I matches against South Africa are also testament to the fact that they are not equipped to score big in the powerplay as they set up totals of 39 and 40 runs. Their potential to score less than 42.5 runs in the next game cannot be dismissed.

New Zealand Women vs England Women Betting Odds
England Women to have a better opening partnership than New Zealand Women @ 1.80 (Parimatch)
New Zealand Women’s opening partnerships against Pakistan Women were somewhat average as they scored 31, 3 and 33 runs before their first dismissal. England Women were worse off as their opening duo collaborated for 1, 18 and 2 runs in their T20 series against India Women. However, despite this, they have the potential to score big against New Zealand Women on the opening front, especially with the absence of the latter’s key bowlers like Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine among others in the upcoming game.
