New Zealand vs England: New Zealand will lock horns with England in the third ODI of the three-match series at Seddon Park, Hamilton, New Zealand on Sunday, April 07. England currently holds the lead in the series, winning both games of the series so far. Whereas it’s a reality check for White Ferns who have been outplayed in the T20Is 4-1 and will now play to avoid the whitewash in the ODIs after losing the first two matches easily.
Hosts New Zealand’s performance through the series has been exceptionally poor as they suffered losses in the first two ODIs. In the batting department, the Kiwis need a more substantial performance from their top order. With just 58 runs scored collectively by the top four in the previous ODI, there’s a clear deficiency that the middle order had to compensate for. It’s pivotal for veterans like Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr to lead the charge in lifting the team’s batting standards. With their regular skipper Sophie Devine’s return for the final game, the Kiwis will be looking to end the series on a high.
On the other hand, England has been brilliant since the T20I series, winning it 4-1. The first ODI saw visitors claim a narrow victory in Wellington. In the second ODI, England batted first and they posted a competitive total of 252 before being bowled out. With the help of Tammy Beaumont’s knock of 81 runs and Nat Sciver’s splendid bowling display, England registered their second victory of the series. The visitor team is eyeing a clean sweep in the ODI series to cap off their dominant tour.
