NZW vs ENGW Team Previews
New Zealand Women
In the absence of Sophie Divine, the Kiwi team's job was in Suzie Bates's hands. Devine took part in a successful WPL campaign for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Bates batted well to score 65 runs from 51 balls. However, the batting line-up missing Amelia Kerr and Devine did not have sufficient firepower to increase the chase's tempo. Both Kerr and Divine will return to the team for the next game in Nelson. Other New Zealand Women players, such as Nat Sciver, Danni Wyatt, Sophie Ecclestone, and Alice Capsey, will arrive in the series later.
Jess Kerr was the top bowler for New Zealand Women. She picked up just one wicket but gave away only 26 runs from her four overs. Fran Jones and Lea Tahuhu also picked up a wicket apiece. Even Rosemary Mair bowled well in the contest. The entire New Zealand batting effort was focused on a good innings put together by their skipper, Suzie Bates. Only Georgia Plimmer and Brooke Halliday could provide good support. But all these players were made to work hard, and no one else apart from the skipper could gather momentum.
New Zealand Women Playing 11
Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine, Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Isabella Gaze, Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, Rosemary Mair, Fran Jonas.
England Women
England Women won the first game of the T20I series by a margin of 27 runs. Their skipper, Heather Knight, was in great touch, scoring 63 runs in this encounter. Heather Knight did not participate in the WPL as she wanted to lead the English team right from the beginning of their campaign. She smashed a super 63 from just 39 balls to take the visitors to a healthy score of 160 runs while losing four wickets. There were some valuable contributions from Maia Bouchier and Sophia Dunkley as well. The top four batters did an excellent job for England women in the game.
Lauren Bell led the bowling charge for the England Women. She picked up two wickets for 29 runs from her four overs. Sarah Glenn was the only other successful bowler for England Women. She also bowled economically to finish with the figures of 4-0-17-1. Other bowlers, such as the skipper Heather Knight and Charlie Dean, also bowled economically in this contest. These will also be England's top bowlers in this second game of the series. England women will again expect their top order to fire in the game.
England Women Playing 11
Tammy Beaumont, Sophia Dunkley, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight, Amy Jones, Danielle Gibson, Bess Heath, Charlie Dean, Sarah Glenn, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell.
