NZ-W vs ENG-W Match Prediction, 1st T20I- Who will win today’s match between NZ-W vs ENG-W?
A couple of T20Is were played at this venue during the series against Pakistan last year. In the first encounter, Pakistan chased down a target of 128 with seven wickets and 10 balls to spare. In the second match, the home side lost by 10 runs as they failed to chase down a target of 138. The captain who wins the toss could opt to bat first and look to post a big total on the board. However, run-scoring wouldn't be very easy.

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.
