Australia Women vs New Zealand Women Chance of Winning

Australia are expected to face more resistance when they take on their neighbours as compared to their opening match of the tournament. However, the defending champions are backed to continue their winning run.
New Zealand will be buoyed by their performance against India, who were second best in all departments in their opening match. Although they’re coming into the match as the underdogs, they will be keen to test themselves against the best team on the planet.

Australia Women vs New Zealand Women Prediction & Betting Tips 2024
Australia, despite their recent head-to-head superiority against their neighbours, have failed to stitch together more than 30 runs for their opening partnership in any of the last 9 matches. With just two scores above 23 in that period and the pitch favouring bowlers, we are backing odds of the Australian opening pair scoring fewer than 24 runs.
Parimatch has Beth Mooney scoring fewer than 25 runs at 1.85, which we feel are great odds. Despite her unbeaten 43 knock against Sri Lanka, a look at her record against the Kiwis, make the odds look pretty solid. In 21 matches between the two teams, she averages less than 18 runs, having failed to reach double digits eleven times!

Australia Women vs New Zealand Women Match Toss Prediction
In the four matches played in Sharjah in the 2024 Women’s T20I World Cup, teams batting first have been able to successfully defend their total on three occasions. The venue has been relatively unbiased historically, but with a day/night game in store for us, captains would want to save their players from fielding in the evening heat by batting first.
Weather Report
The temperature in Sharjah for the match is expected to hover around 32 degrees celsius. The humidity is expected to go up as the match progresses but there’s good news for fans as there’s no rain predicted for the match.

After coming into the tournament on the back of five losses in as many matches, New Zealand Women registered a morale-boosting win over India. Both their batting and bowling seem to be clicking at the right time ahead of their toughest clash of the tournament.

Australia Women vs New Zealand Women Betting Odds
Bowlers expected to lead the way in the battle between the neighbours
The tournament has, so far, been low-scoring with only one team managing to score above 120, which was New Zealand against India. Irrespective of the match being played in Dubai or Sharjah, the 2024 T20 World Cup has seen bowlers impress more than the batters. Hence, we’re picking bowlers to shine once again when Australia take on New Zealand.
Although New Zealand batters starred against India, we’re not expecting them to have their way against the formidable Aussie bowling line-up. The Australians restricted Sri Lanka to just 93 runs in their opening match and we’re expecting them to put the brakes on the in-form Kiwis batters as well.

Australia Women vs New Zealand Women Top Batters
Elysse Perry to be Australia Women’s top batter
The all-rounder has scored over 400 runs in 21 innings against New Zealand with a high score of an unbeaten 55. She performed admirably when Australia played hosts to their neighbours in a bilateral series in September this year, scoring 36 and 34 in the last two matches. She scored 17 runs against Sri Lanka in the first match and we expect her to go big against the Kiwis.
Suzie Bates to be New Zealand Women’s top batter
The New Zealand opener is the highest run scorer in matches involving the two teams. With 1055 runs against Australia, she is expected to lead the Kiwis’ batting line-up in Sharjah. With 86 runs, Bates was also the highest run-scorer in the 3-match series between the two teams leading up to the tournament.
Australia Women vs New Zealand Women Top Bowlers
Megan Schutt to be Australia Women’s top bowler
The medium pacer comes into the match on the back of a player of the match award against Sri Lanka. She had figures of 4-0-12-3 to help restrict her opponents to a sub-100 score. Against the Kiwis as well, Schutt has a great record, taking 31 wickets in 25 matches.
Lea Tahuhu to be New Zealand Women’s top bowler
Spinners have taken 38 wickets at Sharjah so far in the tournament with 16 going the way of the pacers. This gives us confidence to back Lea Tahuhu to outshine 4-wicket hero Rosemary Mair against the Aussies. Tahuhu took three wickets against India in the opening match and has taken 25 wickets in 23 innings against Australia historically.
