England would be favourites entering this contest and might look to seal the series win with a game to spare.
Preview
NZ-W vs EN-W will take on each other in the 4th T20I of the five-match series at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. It has been an excellent series thus far involving the two teams, with all three games being closely fought. England Women currently lead the five-match T20I series 2-1, but the hosts would be hopeful of making a significant comeback and level the series in this game.
New Zealand Women still have a few things to improve despite their three-run win in the last game at the Saxton Oval. Their batting needs to take more of an attacking approach, provided they have wickets in hand. In their previous match, they could only manage 155 on the board and lost just three wickets. Their bowling has been superb in all three encounters and would be their strength ahead of this clash as well.
England Women would be looking to overcome that narrow defeat at the hands of the hosts in the last game. If they can keep their performances up and get over the line in the upcoming match, they can clinch the series with a game to spare. Their batting has been questionable and maybe their focus point prior to the 4th T20I against New Zealand Women.
