Australia Women vs New Zealand Women – Women's World Cup - Match 3 | |
---|---|
Date | 11th February 2023 |
Time | 11:00 AM IST |
Venue | Boland Park, Paarl |
Defending champions Australia women are top contenders to retain the title. They had a fairly decent warm-up game against India as they went on to win by 44 runs. However, they suffered a shock loss against Ireland women in the last warm-up. They won't be too concerned about it though.
Meanwhile, New Zealand women defeated West Indies women comprehensively in the first warm-up but suffered a crushing loss to England women in the final.
The wicket should be a brilliant one to bat. The ground is also on the smaller side and given the quality of batters on both sides, plenty of runs should be on display.
The weather will be bright and sunny, with temperature ranging between 18 and 38 degrees.

Both teams have plenty of match winners and selecting the final XI won't be easy. It will all boil down to the pitch.

All-rounders | Ellyse Perry, Lea Tahuhu, Amelia Kerr (vc) Ashleigh Gardner |
Bowlers | Megan Schutt, Alana King |
The Australian women's team is laced with multiple match-winners and Mooney is one of their best players. Mooney on her day can cause severe destruction.
Alyssa Healy is another destructive batter in the Australian team who can tear apart any bowling line-up. Healy scored 62 in the warm-up game against Ireland Women.
Suzie Bates, the Kiwi veteran, needs to have a big tournament if New Zealand women have to go the distance in the tournament.
Ashleigh Gardner is also a top pick given that he can contribute to the team both with bat and ball. A terrific spinner and a destructive batter, Gardner is one player you shouldn't miss out.
Amelia Kerr is a quality all-rounder and can contribute both with bat and ball. She is someone who can dig in and anchor the innings, which will allow her to score big. With the ball, she can bowl her full quota of overs, increasing chance of picking wickets.
