England Women vs New Zealand Women ODI Match Prediction

England Women vs New Zealand Women 1st ODI Prediction & Betting Tips

England Women will take on New Zealand Women in the first of five WODIs. This WODI will be played at The Bristol County Ground, Bristol on September 16 starting at 13:00 local time.

England Women beat New Zealand Women 2-1 in the WIT20 series earlier this month and will be firm favourites for this opening WODI. In this longer white-ball format, England Women have won six of their last eight games, a run which stretched back to December 2019. Tammy Beaumont was in good form during the WIT20 series and hit the most runs across both sides. She has 7 centuries to her name in WODIs since her debut in November 2009. With the ball, Sarah Glenn and Tash Farrant both took 4 wickets apiece during the WIT20 series. They will be joined in the bowling attack by Katherine Brunt and Sophie Ecclestone.

Captain Sophie Devine and Leigh Kasperek were the lead performers for New Zealand Women during the 2-1 WIT20 series defeat and will once again be underdogs for this game. New Zealand Women’s WODI form is not impressive, they have won only one of their last fifteen games in this format although that victory was against England Women in Dunedin in February earlier this year. Sophie Devine hit a half-century in the second WIT20 win, but apart from her, only Amy Satterthwaite made a score over 40 for their side. Kasperek was the standout bowler with 6 wickets, Devine was the only other to take 3 wickets for New Zealand Women.
