India vs New Zealand Women Predictions

New Zealand are on a terrible losing run and are ripe for the plucking. India had won four in a row before Sri Lanka turned their fortunes around to win the Women’s Asia Cup.

India Women’s Smriti Mandhana has scored 55* & 60 in her last 2 WT20I innings.
India Women’s Harmanpreet Kaur has scored 69, 35 & 66 in her last 5 innings.
New Zealand Women’s Amelia Kerr has scored 40, 37 & 64* in her last 3 innings.
New Zealand Women’s Georgia Plimmer scored 53 off 48 balls in her last innings, against Australia.

Head-to-Head

New Zealand have won four and India one of their last five WT20I’s against India, but four of them were before March 2020.

India Women Form

India’s four-match winning streak ended with a shock loss to Sri Lanka in the Women’s Asia Cup final.

India posted a competitive score of 165/6 off their 20 overs, Smriti Mandhana top-scoring with 60 off 47 balls.

Sri Lanka raced to the win for the loss of just two wickets and with 10 balls to spare, with Deepti Sharma (1/30, econ 7.50) the pick of the bowlers.

India Women Team News

India Women are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

New Zealand Women Form

New Zealand suffered their fifth defeat in a row when Australia beat them by five wickets to win their series 3-0.

New Zealand started well through Georgia Plimmer (53 off 48 balls) and Amelia Kerr (40 of 36 balls) but the middle order failed to capitalise on the final few overs, ending on 146/6.

Australia were fairly unbothered as they went to the win with five balls and five wickets to spare. Eden Carson’s figures of 4-0-29-2 (econ 7.25) were the best for New Zealand.

New Zealand Women Team News

New Zealand need a major improvement in their batting and bowling if they hope to be competitive against the top four sides in the World Cup.

Verdict

India Women v New Zealand Women - T20

I am backing India Women to win. I am also backing Smriti Mandhana to top score for India Women.

Amelia Kerr is a good bet to top score for the New Zealand Women.
