Toss Prediction: | To Bowl |
Familiar foes England women take on New Zealand women in an unfamiliar setting for their second warmup fixture at Dubai as both teams look to rotate a few players, work out a few possible combinations in a bid to arrive at their best XI going into the T20 world cup.
Having met ten times just this year, England and New Zealand are no strangers to each other. It doesn’t you’re your confidence going down to an opposition in as many matches as the White Ferns have this year. It gets you down mentally, but the Kiwi women will be hoping for a fresh start.
It’s the World T20 and any team can beat any other on their day after all. Both teams played a warmup fixture before this match with English women losing to Australia and New Zealand wrapping up an emphatic win against last edition’s runners-up South Africa.

England’s warm up fixture against current champs didn’t go to plan.
Nat Sciver Brunt and Lauren Bell let the Aussie openers get away with a good start, but both of them struck once in a space of 12 balls to put England in front. The spinners Charlie Dean, Sophie Ecclestone and Sarah Glenn couldn’t find a way to tie down the batters on a wicket that wasn’t doing much. Dean also spilled a chance of the dangerous Mooney, but thankfully for England that reprieve didn’t cost them dearly.
163 on that track was more than par, but England batters couldn’t get anywhere near that by the end of the innings. Opener Maia Bouchier started off well, pinching three boundaries before she was dismissed, but her partner Danni Wyatt couldn’t get going.
Alice Capsey batted well to take the English chase forward, but her dismissal sort of opened the floodgates. The core of the middle order, Nat Sciver Brunt, Heather Knight and Amy Jones followed Capsey to the hut, unable to keep up with the rising required run rate.
All three of them were dismissed in a space of 14 balls, leaving England reeling at 6 for 100 in the 15th over. And the match was done and dusted. The English women shouldn’t make much of this defeat and get ready to challenge New Zealand women with much-better planning and execution with the ball and the bat, and on the field.

New Zealand got their world cup prep up and running with a morale-boosting win over last edition’s runners-up South Africa.
The Kiwis put on an excellent show earlier on with the ball to skittle out the South African side for 92 and wrapped up the chase later on with 34 balls remaining, completing a clinical victory. Spinner Eden Carson put New Zealand in the driving seat with two wickets from the first over.
The right arm offie was ably ed by Amelia Kerr and Leigh Kasperek who collected six wickets between them, bamboozling the South African batting order with brilliant leg spin and off spin combination.
The fielders limbered up with some exciting ground fielding and sharp catching. Chasing 93 for a win, the New Zealand openers Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr got stuck in and shaved 37 runs off the target inside the powerplay, before Bates watchful innings came to end.
Captain Sophie Devine ed Kerr in the middle and got a few boundaries out of the way, adding 36 runs to the second wicket. Kerr went aerial and holed out in the boundary, but Devine and Halliday shepherded New Zealand home to a convincing victory that will do their confidence a world of good.
(Batting XI,Fielding XI): Sophie Devine(c), Suzie Bates, Eden Carson, Isabella Gaze(w), Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Fran Jonas, Leigh Kasperek, Jess Kerr, Amelia Kerr, Rosemary Mair, Molly Penfold, Georgia Plimmer, Lea Tahuhu, Hannah Rowe

The pitch was a little up and down early on in the first fixture between India and West Indies, making scoring runs in the powerplay difficult. However, it got better as the match progressed. On tracks like this, it’s important that you see off the new ball threat, get your eyes in and work towards building a platform for the incoming batters to cash in on.
Quality spin will be more than handy on this pitch, and both teams have some exciting spinners in their roster.
Any total around 140 should be par. Weather-wise, things are looking good and there’s no rain threat.
The match will be played at the ICC Academy Ground No 2 in Dubai, UAE.
Both the captains preferred to field first after winning the toss in the last match. New Zealand followed through that decision with outstanding bowling, while England couldn’t. Considering India won their encounter against West Indies here after they were sent into bat first, we reckon that the toss winning captain would most likely opt to have a bat first in this match.
England women couldn’t put together a good effort needed to compete with Australia, but they have the mental edge over New Zealand a side they’ve beaten for fun this year — 9 out of 10 times.
We anticipate that English spinners would use the conditions well and outdo their New Zealand counterparts to set up an easy victory.
We are backing England women as winners of this contest.
