Preview

New Zealand women (NZ W) will be up against England women (ENG W) in the last of the five T20Is. England’s tour of New Zealand is coming towards an end as the T20I series is approaching towards the end. The series has witnessed some one-sided matches and close matches. Both the teams have put in good performances. England women have already won the series with a game to spare. The key for New Zealand women would be to claim a win in the last match.

In the 4th T20I, New Zealand women had to win the game. However, they could not achieve the win and ended up handing an unassailable lead of 3-1 to the visiting side. The fifth T20I is set to take place on the 29th of March 2024 at 5:30 AM (IST) at Basin Reserve in Wellington. All the eyes will be on the home side to see if they can end the series on a good note. England women have been highly impressive having won the series, which was the motive to play.

England women won the first two matches of the series and put pressure on the home side to win their last three games. While New Zealand Women packed a punch on the visiting side in the third match, they lost the fourth match by a fair margin. Both the teams would be looking forward to the dead rubber, as it provides an opportunity for the players to express themselves without worrying about the results. That promises to be a good match between the two sides.

Pitch Report

The match is set to take place at Basin Reserve in Wellington. The wicket is known to be on the slower side in the women’s games. However, given the smaller boundaries, the batters can still manage to hit boundaries. The key for the bowlers would be to operate in right lengths. It will be a good batting surface and the bowlers need to restrict the batters for a decent total. Batting first would be the best option.
