TEAMS PREVIEW

New Zealand Women Preview

This series represents the beginning of a new era for the White Ferns who come into this series following the appointment of Amelia Kerr as their new skipper across all formats.

She replaces Sophie Devine, someone who has not been selected for this series, and the White Ferns will also be without Suzie Bates and Lea Tahuhu who are vastly experienced.

With the bat, expect Kerr and Georgia Plimmer to be the main run scorers at the top of the order.

With the ball, Rosemary Mair, Jess Kerr and Kayley Knight will be a threat.

New Zealand Women Predicted Playing XI:

Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr (c), Bella James, Bree Illing, Izzy Gaze, Maddy Green, Jess Kerr, Polly Inglis (wk), Rosemary Mair, Nensi Patel, Kayley Knight,

Zimbabwe Women Preview

After a very disappointing Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in Nepal earlier this year, Zimbabwe Women will be hoping to raise levels with both bat and ball during this tour of New Zealand.

Batting wise, there are only a few players in the ZImbabwe Women squad who have the ability to attack strong international batters.

Beloved Biza and Kelis Ndhlovu both impressed in the final match of the T20 World Cup Qualifier with the bat and we expect them to be the top run scorers for the tourists in this fixture.

With the ball, Josephine Nkomo has a strong WT20I record and will be a threat with the new ball.

Zimbabwe Women Predicted Playing XI:

Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (c), Beloved Biza, Modester Mupachikwa, Kelis Ndhlovu, Loreen Tshuma, Josephine Nkomo, Chiedza Dhururu (wk), Christabel Chatonzwa, Lindokuhle Madhero, Kudzai Chigora, Nomvelo Sibanda

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

According to the weather forecast, it will be a cold and cloudy evening in Hamilton on Wednesday. Expect a high temperature of ten degrees with humidity above 90%.

NZW vs ZIM-W Pitch Report

Seddon Park is often a green-topped pitch and so there will be assistance for the pace bowlers. Expect a par score in the first innings to be no higher than 125.

Toss: To Bowl

Both teams have weaknesses in their batting line-ups so we expect the captains to want to bowl first if they win the toss ahead of this opening WT20I in Hamilton on Wednesday.
