NEDW vs PNG-W Match Prediction & Analysis
The Womenβs ODI tri-series is all set to kick off at the Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht. The hosts will face Papua New Guinea in the opening match.
Netherlands Women Preview
Babette de Leede has taken over the captaincyΒ of the womenβs team of the Netherlands in the ODIs. The last time the Netherlands played a one-day international, Heather Siegers was the captain.
She is not part of the squad this time around and the hosts will need another batter to fill her spot in the middle order. We reckon bowling all-rounder Robine Rijke can be the right contender to feature at number 4.
Iris Zwilling and Phebe Molkenboer are the most likely candidates to open the innings for the home team. Rijke will be the key player to watch out for in the middle order given her approach to batting. The openers and the skipper at number 3 are all quite conservative in the way they approach their batting.
Papua New Guinea Women Preview
PNG Women will be hoping to bounce back after their recent losses. TheyβveΒ suffered constant losses in recent matchesΒ and this game could be an uphill battle for the visitors.
Their last win came against the USA where they chased down a 161-run target at the ICC Cricket Ground in Dubai. In the very next game against Scotland, Papua New Guinea Women were bowled out for 113 runs while chasing a small target of 218.
And on their tour of Zimbabwe, PNG Women could not reach the 200-run mark even once in the 3-match ODI series. Naoani Vere and skipper Brenda Tau open the innings for PNG.
