NZW vs AUSW Match Prediction & Analysis It was a big disappointment for the locals, the administrators, coaches and players in Wellington with the weather not playing ball and not even a toss or a ball being bowled in the opening WODI. However, every cloud provides an opportunity, and that should certainly be the thinking and approach of Sophie Devine’s side who now need to win only one of the next two games to secure a drawn series against Australia Women. For the hosts, that would complete an excellent couple of months after their triumph in the Women’s T20 World Cup in October and would certainly announce their return to women’s cricket’s top table. TEAMS PREVIEW New Zealand Preview There is certainly plenty more confidence running through this New Zealand Women’s side at the moment and they will be determined to show they can compete with the all-conquering Australia Women in this WODI. We can expect the White Ferns to approach this game in a more traditional way to 50-over cricket. That is to say that they will look to bat conservatively at the top of the order, see off the new balls, before unleashing their power-hitters further down the order when hopefully the Australia Women’s bowlers will be much more tired. Australia Preview Even without their opening batter, keeper and skipper, Ellyse Perry, Australia Women were able to crush India Women 3-0 at home earlier this month and a bit of Wellington weather on Wednesday will have done little to dampen the self-belief in the camp ahead of this game. Australia Women are one of the most dominant international teams of any sport across the last decade and they showed in their victories against India Women that they have plenty to prove after their shock semi-final exit at the Women’s T20 World Cup in October. As ever, they have huge batting depth with former Ireland Women’s international Kim Garth a trusty batter even at number ten! With the ball, we expect Alana King, Garth, Schutt and Annabel Sutherland to be the most dangerous in this WODI. Weather Conditions It looks like being a dry affair across the first half of the game but there is a slight threat of more rain in the mid-late afternoon. Irrespective of how much, we should still be able to complete the fixture. NZW vs AUSW Pitch Report With all of the rain that has been around in Wellington over recent days, this pitch may well offer more assistance for the pace bowlers than usual. As a result, we expect a par score to be no higher than 220. Toss: To Bowl With four of the last six WODIs at the Basin Reserve won by the team chasing in the second innings, we predict that both New Zealand Women and Australia Women will want to bowl first in this game.
