Australian Women are currently in scintillating form on their tour of New Zealand. They handed over a couple of solid thumpings to the New Zealand Women in the first couple of games to pocket the T20I series. Both these victories were comprehensive. As a result of this performance, we have just dead rubber in the final game of the series. New Zealand Women will be looking to salvage some pride by trying to get a consolation win here. They will need to get rid of Beth Mooney quickly, though.
Mooney hammered two half-centuries in as many games in the series and took the game away from the New Zealand Women right up front. The Aussie bowling attack has been right on the money and made early inroads in the New Zealand line-up. Georgi Voll also hit a half-century in the first game. New Zealand batters played well in the first game, although they batted too slowly to raise a big score. This problem of not scoring their runs quickly enough might hurt the New Zealand prospects in this contest as well.

The Aussie all-rounder Ashleigh Gardner will miss the series' last game due to a right index finger injury. Ellyse Perry will deputize in her place. Charlie Knott will substitute for her. There do not appear to be any more injury updates for this contest.
The pitch on offer at the Sky Stadium in Wellington is likely to be a batting-friendly surface. The bowlers can expect a good bounce and carry; however, overall, the conditions favor the batters more. So, it might be a better idea to pick a dream11 team that is filled with batters.
Bright and sunny weather conditions are expected for this encounter on the 26th afternoon in Wellington. The temperature during the contest will remain close to 18 degrees, and there is no possibility of getting any rain interruptions during the contest.
Here, the wicket-keeper pick will be between Beth Mooney and Polly Englis. There is no comparison between these two for this series. Beth Mooney has been a standout performer for Australian Women with 289 points, while Polly Inglis had just 27 points to her credit. The Mooney batting performance is once again likely to dominate the proceedings in this final game of the series.
The top choices for batters in this game will include Georgia Voll, Beth Mooney, G Plimmer, and Ellyse Perry. As you can see, most of these batters are from the Australian team. They have played far better cricket than their New Zealand counterparts.
