England Women are favourites to win
Match 12 of the Women’s Cricket competition as part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games sees England Women and New Zealand Women go head to head at Edgbaston on Thursday evening. After two wins each for both sides, they are already guaranteed a place in the semi-final. The victors will top the group. Read on as we preview this day-night WT20I. This Group B match begins at 18:00 local time at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
England Women have shown that they are a very accomplished WT20 side by chasing down a target in their first game and defending a total in their second. They will expect a close match but will be backing themselves.
New Zealand Women’s strongest suit is batting and they have a very strong top order. This will be their toughest game of the tournament but they certainly have the players to cause England Women plenty of problems.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on BBC One and BBC Two.
Commonwealth Games 2022 Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the BBC iPlayer and Sony Liv App.
New Zealand Women chose to bat first against Sri Lanka Women and we expect them to want to do the same in this match. The conditions will not vary a huge amount from the start to the finish although there may be more swing through the air under the floodlights.
We have seen the swing and seam bowlers impress in the opening overs of most games but overall it is a pitch which favours the spinners. The surface appears to be slowing down as the tournament progresses.
Sunny to begin with before clear skies and floodlights will take over. The temperature will drop no lower than 17 degrees at Edgbaston.

Nat Sciver will captain England Women in this match with rumours persisting that Heather Knight may miss the entire tournament with her hip problem. Although there will be a temptation to rest certain players, England Women will want to top the group and we anticipate no changes to the XI.
England Women have won five successive games in this format and appear to be on a roll. They have winning momentum and the home crowd’s backing in Birmingham.
Danni Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley, Nat Sciver (c), Amy Jones (wk), Alice Capsey, Maia Bouchier, Katherine Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone, Freya Kemp, Issy Wong, Sarah Glenn
18 year old left-arm spinner Fran Jonas was left out of the team ahead of the game against Sri Lanka Women with medium pacer, Rosemary Mair, taking her place. Mair impressed with figures of 1-13 and she should keep her spot. There are no injury niggles and we expect New Zealand to select their strongest XI for this match.
New Zealand Women have won three successive matches in this format and have had comfortable victories in both of their games in this tournament.
Sophie Devine (c), Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Hayley Jensen, Lea Tahuhu, Hannah Rowe, Izzy Gaze (wk), Rosemary Mair, Eden Carson
England Women beat New Zealand Women by four wickets in the last WT20I between the sides with New Zealand Women winning the previous game by the same margin. Overall, England have a five match lead.

The bookies fancy England Women to win this game and to top Group B. However, with New Zealand Women having won their first two games, they are expected to put in a strong performance.
These are two very experienced and strong teams in this format. New Zealand Women have the ability to put plenty of pressure on their opponents with a powerful batting line-up.
Danni Wyatt, Nat Sciver and Sophia Dunkley are our batting tips for England Women. Sciver has a top score of 82 in this format of the game.
We expect Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr to be New Zealand Women’s top batters. Bates and Devine have both hit three sixes in the tournament so far.
We are backing Sophie Ecclestone, Katherine Brunt and Freya Kemp as England Women’s top bowlers. Brunt took 1-16 and was very hard to get away against South Africa Women.
Amelia Kerr, Lea Tahuhu and Hayley Jensen are our bowling picks for New Zealand Women. Kerr dismissed Sri Lanka Women’s highest run scorer in her last game on this wicket.
Whenever two teams with 100% records come face to face, there is always going to be plenty of players high on confidence on display. Both teams have delivered with the bat and ball so far in the tournament and will be acutely aware that they are facing top quality players in this match. We are predicting a tight affair with England Women getting the victory.
