NZW vs INDW Team Previews

New Zealand Women

New Zealand's players are going to be match-ready after having just competed in the Women's Super Smash. They are all coming into this match with a lot of game time under their belts and with the experience of playing some tough cricket.

That is a huge advantage to have as that match-readiness has no substitute or short-cut.

There are a number of very high-quality players in the New Zealand setup but the focus is going to be on Sophie Devine for sure. She is the best batter, one of the best bowlers, and the most influential player in this New Zealand team. She, Suzie Bates, Katey Martin, Amelia Kerr, and Maddy Green form the core of a very strong batting lineup.

There is plenty of depth in there as well as the all-rounders can all contribute with the bat as well.

Lea Tahuhu, Jess Kerr, Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates, and Amelia Kerr will all play a major role in the bowling lineup as well.

New Zealand is playing in home conditions and with players that have a lot of cricket under their belts coming into this match. We think they have a pretty big advantage over India in this contest.

India Women

India will have one eye on the World Cup that is just a few weeks away but it will also want to win this series if it can. The only T20 match is a bit meaningless and the focus is going to be more on the ODI's. A couple of selection choices made the headlines with the omission of Jemimah Rodrigues as the biggest one but that is not something that can change now.

Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, and Harmanpreet Kaur are going to be the key players in the T20 setup. These are three players that played a big role in the Women's Hundred competition as well. Kaur was, in fact, the player of the tournament.

She is the power-hitter of the team as well as a more than a useful part-time bowler.

India has a strong batting core with players like Taniya Bhatia, Sneh Rana, and Deepti Sharma all capable of contributing as well. The challenge is going to be getting used to the conditions quickly.

India's bowling attack is going to be tested in this series. There are a couple of new pacers that the team seems excited about, however, this is has been an area where they have traditionally suffered.

Poonam Yadav, Ekta Bisht, and Rajeshwari Gaekwad could all find a place in the playing eleven for the first match. Harmanpreet Kaur is the skipper and she generally likes to use her spinners wherever possible. The conditions in New Zealand could force her to change her approach a little as well.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Queenstown are a bit gloomy and there is a lot of rain predicted. The current forecast suggests that the first half of the day will be cloudy with the rain appearing in the second half. Hopefully, it will miss the ground and allow the match to be played.

There should be a bit of help for the bowlers with the new ball but then the pitch will settle down and be in favor of the batters.

A score of around 140-150 is definitely on the cards batting first.

NZW vs INDW Betting Tips

We are going to bet on New Zealand Women to win this match. They have a strong batting lineup and their bowling is also quite well-rounded. India can match New Zealand with its batting strength but the lack of match practice and foreign conditions may just be too big a hurdle to conquer first up.
