NZ-W vs AU-W Dream11: With the series level at 1-1, NZ Women are ready to host Australia Women here at the decider. NZ Women needed a win badly after losing the first match. Without their skipper Sophie Devine, the team showed excellent composure to down the World No.1. The onus will be upon Amy Satterthwaite to lead the team if Devine is unfit. Youngster Amelia Kerr showed good form with the bat and she can play a big role here. The bowling attack will look to continue their collective performance which restricted Australia to just 129 in the last game.
Australia Women meanwhile, had enough chances in the last game and would consider themselves unlucky not to get a win. They have a strong batting order with explosive pair of Healy and Mooney at the top. With Gardner and Perry, they have a strong middle order which can score quick runs towards the end. The bowling is likely to revolve around Schutt, Wareham and Jonassen, all of whom have been impressive so far.
