Pitch Report

The University Oval in Dunedin has hosted three games so far, and each of them has been high-scoring. The shorter boundaries mean that there will be lots of fours and sixes on offer for the batters. The bowlers will get good help early with the new ball with the pace bowlers in particular doing well. The skipper who wins the toss will want to bowl first, with swing and seam likely to be on offer.

Captains: 9

Sophia Dunkley ENG-W | bat

The 25-year-old has a good record in the shortest format of the game and is considered one of the best batters. Dunkley has scored 761 runs from her 50 games with an average of 23 and a career strike rate of 115.

Heather Knight ENG-W | bat

England’s veteran batter is set to play her 108th T20 match for her national side. Knight without doubt is one of the best batters of this generation with the ability to flay any bowling attack on her day.

Suzie Bates NZ-W | BAT

With over 150 games and 4000 runs to her credit there is only one word to describe Suzie Bates and that is legendary. The Kiwi veteran is a huge name in the T20I format and will want to continue her sizzling form against England.

Amy Jones ENG-W | WK

The 30 year will be the player to watch out for during the opening game on Tuesday. Not only Amy Jones is a good wicketkeeper but also a very reliable batter who can play according to the situations.

Hannah Rowe NZ-W | bowl

The 27-year-old Hannah Rowe has been in and out of the Kiwi side in recent times. The All rounder will look to make use of the chance that she has gotten to make herself a permanent member of the side. There is no doubting the talents that Hannah Rowe has as she is a consistent performer in the domestic circuit.

Sarah Glenn ENG-W | bowl

At the age of 24, Sarah Glenn has already played 54 games for her side and picked 64 wickets. The English bowler has been one of the most talked about leg-spin bowlers in the women’s circuit for a while now.
