New Zealand vs England Prediction: Its do-or-die game for NZ

New Zealand and England are going head to head in the 3rd Match of T20 Series at Saxton Oval Nelson Cricket Ground, Nelson, New Zealand on 24th March 2024. Its a do-or-die game of the series for New Zealand Women. Who will win this game of cricket?

New Zealand form

New Zealand Women had a chance to capitalize in the second WT20I against England when they took three quick wickets to reduce the opposition to 37/3. However, they lacked the bowling strength to break through the rest of the lineup or the batting prowess to chase down a target of 150. Captain Sophie Devine enters the next game in good form after picking up two wickets, while Rosemary Mair and Amelia Kerr also performed well. In order for New Zealand Women to succeed in the series, they will need all their key players to deliver strong performances.

New Zealand Predicted Lineup

Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine (c), Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Isabella Gaze (wk), Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, Rosemary Mair, Fran Jonas

England form

After scoring the only half-century for England Women's innings, captain Heather Knight did not take any wickets during her bowling spell in the second WT20I match. However, she will have no regrets as her team left Nelson 2-0 up. If England Women can win the third WT20I match before their WPL players return, it will showcase the depth of talent in the team and bode well for the future. Knight will be aiming for more runs at the top of the order in the upcoming game.
