ENG-W vs NZ-W T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, CWG 2022
England Women and New Zealand Women face off with a Bronze Medal up for grabs in the third and fourth place play-off game in the 2022 Commonwealth Games on Sunday morning. Both sides were defeated in Saturday’s semi-finals. England Women lost to India Women with New Zealand Women defeated by Australia Women. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 10:00 local time at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
England Women will be gutted to have missed out on a chance of winning a gold medal in a home Commonwealth Games. However, they were too strong for New Zealand Women on Thursday and have a dominant record over them in this format.
New Zealand Women gave a good account of themselves against Australia Women in the semi-final and need to rouse themselves for one last push in this game. If their openers fire with the bat then they will have every chance.

ENG-W vs NZ-W Pitch Report
Saturday’s semi-finals showed that the pitch has become somewhat two-paced over the course of the tournament. As a result pace bowlers are finding more joy. We expect a par score to be no higher than 150.
Weather Report
With an hour earlier start than in other morning games in the tournament, there will be higher levels of humidity in the opening overs.

ENG Women Team News & Playing 11
ENG-W Team News
In other tournaments, ordinarily, teams may give some fringe players a run-out in the third and fourth place play-off games. However, with a Commonwealth Games bronze medal on the line, we expect England to be unchanged for the fourth successive time in the tournament.
ENG-W Key Players
- Nat Sciver- the stand-in skipper top scored for England on Saturday and hit three boundaries before being one of three England Women's run-outs.
- Katherine Brunt- the experienced pace bowler dismissed the dangerous Smriti Mandhana in the semi-final and would have finished with far better figures than 1-30 if easy catches had been taken.
- Sophie Ecclestone- the left-arm spinner went wicketless for the first time in the tournament and in international games this summer on Saturday. She will be determined to make amends in this game on a spinning wicket.
ENG-W Team Form
England Women were sloppy in the field against India and that ultimately cost them a place in the final and ended their winning run of games in this format.

NZ Women Team News & Playing 11
NZ-W Team News
The White Ferns gave an international debut to 18 year-old Georgia Plimmer in the semi-final defeat to Australia Women. She looked at home at this level and hit three boundaries on her way to 17 from 16 balls. There are no injuries from Saturday's match and we do not expect to see any changes.
NZ-W Key Players
- Sophie Devine- the skipper and opening batter gave her side every chance with her highest knock of the tournament. She hit six fours and a six on the Edgbaston pitch in the semi-final.
- Suzie Bates- the opener got a golden duck in Saturday’s game which gave a huge early advantage to Australia Women. She is still in the running for the highest run scorer in the tournament award.
- Lea Tahuhu- the 31 year old medium fast bowler was not even picked in the original New Zealand Women’s squad for this tournament but dismissed all three of Australia Women’s top three in the semi-final.
NZ-W Team Form
New Zealand Women pushed Australia Women hard in the semi-final but, although there were only three balls left at the end, the result had not been in doubt for a while.

Who will win England vs New Zealand Women T20 Match?
There will undoubtedly be a bit of an anti-climax for both sets of players who would dearly wish to be fighting for a gold medal on Sunday evening. However, the prize of a bronze medal is still enticing and England Women will be backed by a partisan crowd.

🏆 ENG Women vs NZ Women Prediction
Before a semi-final, this is the last game that any player involved wants to even countenance their involvement in. However, this is where they are and they will probably get no other or very few other opportunities to win a Commonwealth Games medal. We are predicting England Women to beat New Zealand Women.
