New Zealand Women’s tour of Australia will kick off on Thursday, September 19th at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay. All the 3 T20Is will be played at this venue.
There have been many Women’s BBL matches played on this ground. It is a balanced pitch at this venue with the highest 1st innings total of 180 runs in the last 10 T20 matches.
Whereas, the highest total successfully chased here is 139 runs. Toss will play a key role in this match and both skippers will consider batting first in this match.
The visitors had a terrible tour of England earlier in July this year losing all the 5 T20Is and 3 ODIs. The hosts, on the other hand, were pretty successful on their tour of Bangladesh winning every match.
New Zealand Women bring most of their key players on this tour of Australia. It is a solid overall squad and skipper Sophie Devine will expect a better performance from her players on this tour.

Alyssa Healey will be leading the Aussie Women in the 3-match T20i series against New Zealand. The opening batter is a key player for the hosts and holds the key to a big total.
And with Beth Mooney and Ellysse Perry also in the top order, Australia Women look very strong with the bat. There is plenty of experience in the top 3 and each of these batters is a match-winner in their own right.
Another experienced batter to watch out for in this side is Tahlia McGrath. The vice-captain holds a key position in the middle order and can deliver a big finish. The all-rounders Ashleigh Gardner and Georgia Wareham add strength in the lower middle order.
It is a deep batting lineup loaded with experienced and consistent batters who can be relied on to lead Australia Women to a big total. However, if the hosts lose the toss and are put to bowl first, they will face a tough challenge.
The opposition also has a strong bowling attack that can create trouble for the hosts in the second innings. Megan Schutt will lead the bowling attack for Australia along with Annabel Sutherland and Tayla Vlaeminck.
There is great variety in this bowling attack due to the number of all-rounders and most of them can deliver breakthroughs at regular intervals.
Alyssa Healy has scored 302 runs in the last 10 T20I matches and against New Zealand she has scored 464 runs in 24 matches. This year in 8 T20I matches she has scored 284 runs and averages 40.6. We back Healy to come good in this fixture and score over 20.5 runs.

New Zealand have many star players in their T20I squad who regularly feature in T20 leagues around the world in addition to The Hundred. They’ve made headlines everywhere but when it comes to representing the Whiteferns at the big stage against the big teams like Australia and England, they’ve failed miserably.
New Zealand Women lost all of the T20 matches on their tour of England. They had all of their star batters in the squad yet failed to score big even on good batting tracks.
Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, and skipper Sophie Devine are the key batters in this side expected to score big and build game-changing partnerships. There are 6 all-rounders in the squad and that allows for depth in the lineup.
Brook Halliday and Maddy Green will be looking to make a mark in the lower middle order. Even with a deep batting lineup New Zealand Women haven’t lived up to the expectations.
Bates will be hoping to change that on this tour. Lea Tahuhu and Jess Karr will lead the pace attack for the Kiwis. The 20-year-old left-arm orthodox Fran Jonas has shown great promise in recent matches and will be one to watch out for.
Kerr has scored 43,0 & 23 runs in her last three T20I innings and she has been in good form in 2024 scoring 199 runs in 9 matches. Kerr is one of the most reliable batters for the black caps and we back her to score over 18.5 runs in today's match.

We expect cloudy skies in Mackay on the match day with a high of 23 degrees Celsius. There is no prediction for rain and the weather will be clear with periodic clouds as the match progresses.
It is a well-balanced pitch at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay. There is enough help for both batters and bowlers allowing for an even contest. The average 1st innings score here in the last 10 T20s is 159 runs. Bowlers have the upper hand in the second innings and have successfully defended totals as low as 147 runs. If the team batting first scores anything over 170 in this game, they should be in a winning position.
It is quite challenging to chase down a competitive total on this wicket. Teams batting first have won 9 of the last 10 T20 matches played on this ground. It should be no surprise if the captain winning the toss opts to bat first. Teams chasing a total have rarely come close to the target in the recent matches at this venue.
Australia Women will have the upper hand in this match given their familiarity with the conditions at this venue. They have also been very successful in their recent T20 series at home and away venues. The visitors, on the other hand, struggle quite a lot when touring other countries. On paper, it looks like a neck-and-neck contest. But with their overall squad strength and record against the Kiwis, Australia Women will start as favorites in our match prediction.
