ENG-W vs NZ-W 3rd ODI: New Zealand look to salvage pride against formidable England

England Women and New Zealand Women are set to face off in the third and final ODI of their series. With England leading the series 2-0, the stakes are high as they aim to complete a series whitewash. Meanwhile, New Zealand will be playing for pride, hoping to salvage a victory in the final match.

England Women have shown remarkable dominance throughout the series, recording victories in the first two ODIs. Their performances have been stellar, outperforming New Zealand across all departments. Players like Tammy Beaumont and Maia Bouchier have been pivotal, providing batting stability. The bowling attack, led by the likes of Charlie Dean and Sophie Ecclestone, has consistently applied pressure, making it difficult for New Zealand to overcome the challenge. England won the first game by nine wickets and second by eight wickets respectively. 

On the other hand, New Zealand Women have struggled to find their rhythm. Despite having an experienced squad with players like Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine, they have not been able to put together the performances needed to challenge England effectively. Inadequate consistency in both batting and bowling has plagued their efforts, and they will need to address these issues if New Zealand are to end the series on a high note.

ENG-W Probable XI: Tammy Beaumont, Maia Bouchier, Heather Knight (c), Nat Sciver-Brunt, Danielle Wyatt, Amy Jones (wk), Charlotte Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Sarah Glenn, Lauren Filer, Lauren Bell

NZ-W Probable XI: Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine (c), Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Isabella Gaze (wk), Hannah Rowe, Jess Kerr, Molly Penfold, Fran Jonas
