NZ-W Team News
Sophie Devine missed the opening game of the series through injury and she is not expected back for this game. As a result, Suzie Bates is likely to be joined by Bernadine Bezuidenhout at the top of the order once again. New Zealand Women are looking to end a run of four successive WODI defeats against England Women.
NZ-W Team Batting
The trio at the top of the order for New Zealand Women top scored in the opening WODI but that meant that only 68 runs were added after the third wicket fell in that match. New Zealand Women will be looking to the likes of all-rounder Brooke Halliday and keeper-batter Isabella Gaze to make bigger contributions in this WODI.
NZ-W Team Bowling
When England Women were reduced to 79/6 at the end of the 17th over on Monday, it looked like New Zealand Women were on track for victory. The hosts will need their bowlers to take more risks in this game if they are to bowl out their opponents.
NZ-W Team Form
New Zealand Women have lost by 4 wickets and lost a Super Over in their last two WODIs.
NZ Women Predicted Playing 11
Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Amelia Kerr (c), Izzy Gaze (wk), Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Georgia Plimmer, Hannah Rowe, Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, Fran Jonas

Sarah Glenn will take no part in the rest of this tour after she was released from the squad due to ongoing concussion after banging her head when taking a catch in the third WT20I. Heather Knight’s side are likely to be unchanged for this game.
ENG-W Team Batting
After relying on an unbeaten and record seventh wicket partnership from Amy Jones and Charlie Dean in the last game, England Women will be looking for more from their established batters in the top six in this match. They have plenty of quality in those positions.
ENG-W Team Bowling
England Women used five bowlers in the opening WODI with all five of them picking up at least one wicket. Kate Cross looks like someone who has the perfect action for the conditions in New Zealand and we expect her to be dangerous again in this match.
ENG-W Team Form
England Women are unbeaten in their last five games in this format.
ENG Women Predicted Playing 11
Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight (c), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Alice Capsey, Amy Jones (wk), Danni Wyatt, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Bell, Charlie Dean, Kate Cross
🏆 NZ Women vs ENG Women Prediction
Although England Women won with 52 balls remaining in Wellington, New Zealand were very much in pole position at the end of the 17th over of the visitors’ chase. We expect this to be a close contest but the bottom line is that England have more batting depth and stronger bowling options as well. As a result we are backing England Women to get another victory in this game.
