AU-W vs NZ-W Fantasy Prediction: Australia Women vs New Zealand Women 1st ODI – 3 October (Brisbane)
Advertisement
Australia Women will take on New Zealand Women in the 1st game of the 3 game ODI series which will be played at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane. The ODI series is expected to be a really close affair between both sides.
Australia won the T20 series and they would like to do the same in this series as well whereas the White Ferns would like to take confidence from the win they managed to get in the last T20I games. This is expected to be a really close series as both teams have some star players in their ranks and this is going to be a good game to watch out.
Pitch Report – The pitch is a little bit on the slower side and this will be played on the same pitch as the last one so, the winning captain would be tempted to bat here.
