AUSW vs NZW Team Previews

Australia Women

Australia has an explosive squad, and in T20 cricket, their firepower often shines through. They won against Sri Lanka Women this competition.

Beth Mooney is a key figure in Australia’s top-order batting, known for her adaptability in T20 cricket. Whether anchoring an innings or playing aggressively from the start, Mooney's consistency will be critical in laying a strong foundation for Australia. She showed her reliability with an unbeaten 43 off 38 against the Asian champions.

Megan Schutt, one of the best T20 bowlers in the world, will lead the pace attack. Schutt's ability to swing the ball early and execute pinpoint yorkers at the death makes her an indispensable asset in this format. Her experience and skill will be vital in containing New Zealand’s aggressive batters. She grabbed three wickets against Sri Lanka Women.

Sophie Molineux adds depth to the side with her left-arm spin. Molineux is especially dangerous in the middle overs where her accurate bowling can frustrate opponents and create pressure by slowing the scoring rate. The spinner has 36 Women's T20I wickets.

New Zealand Women

New Zealand Women will be led by the dynamic Sophie Devine, one of the most destructive all-rounders in T20 cricket. They started off their ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 with a win against India Women.

Devine’s ability to clear the ropes effortlessly makes her a major threat to Australia’s bowling attack. She gives power-hitting at the top of the batting order and can chip in with the ball. She is a key figure in New Zealand’s strategy. The skipper also top-scored for the Black Ferns with 57 runs unbeaten off 36 balls against India Women.

Georgia Plimmer adds youthful energy and skill to New Zealand’s batting lineup. She has the potential to anchor the innings or accelerate when needed, making her a versatile option in the middle-order. The 20-year-old batter hit a half-century against Australia Women in her final Women's T20I of the previous Women's T20I series against them.

New Zealand’s bowling attack will be spearheaded by Rosemary Mair, who is known for her pace and control. Mair will look to strike early with the new ball and then come back for crucial overs at the death where she can limit Australia’s scoring opportunities with her sharp bowling. The youngster showcased her skills in the previous game when she claimed four wickets for 19 runs in four overs.

AUSW vs NZW Toss Prediction

This match takes place at Sharjah as a night game.

In T20 cricket, teams often prefer to chase. However, given both sides have strong all-round units, the decision at the toss will depend on pitch conditions.

Australia may prefer to set a target and back their bowling attack to defend it. New Zealand might look to bowl first and restrict Australia.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch is likely to favour the batters early on. Slower bowlers like Sophie Molineux could come into play, especially if the pitch starts to grip and turn.

The powerplay will be key for both teams. The first six overs often determines the pace of the game.

Conditions are expected to be hot and clear, ideal for a T20 match. There is a two percent rain forecast so a full 20-over match should be expected.

The Australian Women chased down a score of 94 for four inside the 15th over in their previous game.
