NZ-W vs ENG-W Match Prediction, 1st T20I- Who will win today’s match between NZ-W vs ENG-W?

NZ-W vs ENG-W Probable Playing XI

New Zealand:

Bernadine Bezuidenhout (wk), Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine (c), Maddy Green, Hannah Rowe, Isabella Gaze, Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, Eden Carson, Fran Jonas

Probable Best Players

Probable Best Batter of the Match

Suzie Bates could be the batter to watch out for in the first T20I. The 36-year-old has been in good form of late and has the experience of playing 152 T20Is. She has amassed 27 fifties and one century in the format for New Zealand. If she can fire on all cylinders, it will stand the hosts in good stead.

Probable Best Bowler of the Match

Sophie Ecclestone is only available for the last two matches. In her absence, all eyes would be on the 24-year-old leg-spinner, Sarah Glenn. The experienced campaigner has picked up 64 wickets from 54 matches at an average of 16.93 and an economy rate of 6.10. It will be intriguing to see how Knight uses her four overs.
