NZW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Analysis Australia Women have been the dominant force in cricket over the last three decades and their record over New Zealand Women is also nothing short of dominant in that time! As such, there has been no great surprise from either team management or supporters that Australia Women have dominated both of the first two T20Is so far in this series. All against the backdrop of New Zealand Women being the T20 World Champions and hosting this three game series! With the series already in the bag ahead of this final act in Wellington at the Sky Stadium, New Zealand Women will be playing for pride but getting a win will be a very tough assignment as Australia Women do not like to give any team a rest. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview As one-sided games of T20 cricket go, the second T20I at Mount Maunganui was one where New Zealand Women never looked like winning. By the time the second over was completed, New Zealand Women had conceded 22 runs without taking a wicket and the narrative for the game was well and truly in place. Of the bowling unit, only Jess Kerr (1/39), Amelia Kerr (1/27) and Suzie Bates (0/16) managed to keep their economy rates in single figures and it could well be that skipper Bates chooses to introduce Amelia Kerr into the bowling attack much earlier this time around. With the bat, chasing 205 was always going to be a tough ask but the White Ferns made a go of it with all of the top three, Bates, Georgia Plimmer and Kerr scoring runs with strike-rates between 111.11 and 171.42. Australia Preview The mark of any strong side is one who get the upper-hand early on and then never let it go and this is exactly what Australia Women did in the second T20I against New Zealand Women with a brilliant batting display which then made life very easy for their bowlers! Once again, opening the innings, keeper-batter Beth Mooney was a class apart and too good for New Zealand Women’s bowlers. After she took the Player of the Match Award with 75 not out from 42 balls on Friday, she produced nearly a carbon copy of the innings with 70 runs from 42 balls before she was dismissed by Amelia Kerr. Mooney will have her eye on bringing up 200+ runs in the series with another big score to conclude the three games but the whole batting line-up is very strong as seen by Ellyse Perry hitting 29 not out from 15 balls at number four and Annabel Sutherland finishing the innings with 23 not out from 15 deliveries. Weather Conditions It will be a pleasant day in Wellington with no danger of rain and the temperature no higher than 20 degrees during the contest. Humidity levels will be constant at around 70% from start to finish. NZW vs AUSW Pitch Report There is always good bounce and pace in the wicket at the Sky Stadium which means the batters can play their shots without any worries of misbehaviour from the surface. Whoever bats first will be targeting a total of 180+. Toss: To Bowl From 2019 onwards there have been two victories for the team batting first and two wins for the team fielding first at the Sky Stadium in Women’s T20I games. The conditions are unlikely to change much across the afternoon of the match so we predict that both teams will want to bowl first then chase.
