Match Preview

England has been quite dominating in this series so far, considering that they won one match by eight wickets while the other by seven wickets. In the previous match, it was a Nat Sciver show all-round. She bowled the match-defining spell of 3 for 26 from nine overs, which allowed England to restrict New Zealand to a small total of 192. After that, when England were 12 for 2 in the chase, she partnered with Tammy Beaumont to construct a good partnership. Sciver scored 63 runs from just 61 balls.

Speaking of Beaumont, she notched up back-to-back 70+ scores in the two innings in this series. However, she would love to sign this series off with a century. Talking about the hosts, they have been pretty disappointing in this series so far. Neither their batters have shown any resistance against the England bowling unit, nor their bowlers have kept them in the match with consistent wickets. This series has gone all wrong for Sophie Devine’s side, but before moving to the T20I series, they would want to have one good win under their belt.

Weather Report & Pitch Condition

It will be partly cloudy here in Dunedin on Friday. The temperature will hover around the 17 degrees Celsius range and there is a 10% chance of precipitation for this match.

The surface is a batting-friendly one, with a good amount of help for the pacers on offer. The pitch is expected to be neutral and the captain winning the toss would prefer to bowl first.

NZ-W vs EN-W Top Picks

• Sophie Devine is the most experienced player from their side. She has scored over 2600 runs and picked up 73 wickets in 108 ODI matches she played.
• Natalie Dodd scored 30 & 97 in the two practice games against the England team and will be looking to replicate her form in this match too against the same England team.
• Amelia Kerr is the lead spinner for the Kiwi team in both ODIs & T20Is and she has played already 35+ matches in both formats.
• Natalie Sciver is the most crucial asset for the England side. She has scored more than 1800 runs at an average of close to 40 and also picked up 44 wickets in 67 ODIs she played for his team.
