Tammy Beaumont's masterful innings of 81 propelled England to a commanding victory over New Zealand in the second ODI, securing an insurmountable 2-0 lead in the series with just one game remaining. The third and final match of the series will take place at Hamilton on Sunday. While England will be looking for a clean sweep, the Black Ferns are hoping to end the series on a high.
New Zealand Women's performance in this limited-overs series has left much to be desired. With only one win out of six matches (they lost the T20I series 4-1), the hosts face an uphill battle to potentially secure another victory, particularly as they prepare for a demanding encounter in Hamilton.
In the batting department, the Kiwis are in need of a more substantial performance from their top order in the game. With just 58 runs scored collectively by the top four in the previous ODI, there's a clear deficiency that the middle order had to compensate for. It's pivotal for veterans like Suzie Bates (372 runs in the last 10 matches at 41.33) and captain Amelia Kerr (539 runs in the last 10 matches 60) to lead the charge in lifting the team's batting standards.
Bates scored a fluent 50 in the first ODI, and we are expecting a substantial contribution from her in this game.
The Kiwis are really missing Rosemary Mair owing to an injury. It places a greater burden on Jess Kerr and Lea Tahuhu to raise their game. While Kerr has managed to clinch four wickets in the ongoing series and Tahuhu three, they lack substantial backing from teammates like Hannah Rowe.

The England Women's team is eyeing a clean sweep in the ODI series to cap off their dominant tour. Having faced off against New Zealand Women plenty of times in limited-overs cricket in recent weeks and are hence familiar with their opponents' styles.
After facing a disappointing start with a duck in the opening ODI, Tammy Beaumont staged a remarkable comeback by crafting a splendid knock of 81 runs in the next match. Her effort helped England score 252 runs on a wicket that heavily favored the bowlers. Beaumont was named player of the match for her aggressive batting, which included nine fours in 96 deliveries. She will be eager to capitalize on her form and excel once again in similar playing conditions.
Two other batters you should keep an eye out for are Nat Sciver-Brunt (497 runs in her last 10 matches at 71) and Amy Jones (296 runs in the last 10 matches at almost 60).
Nat Sciver-Brunt also made an impression with her bowling performance in the second ODI in Hamilton, claiming three crucial wickets by consistently hitting the right areas with precision. Her ability to alter her pace could be an important factor again, especially for unsettling the opposition batters who struggle against changes in speed. Keep an eye out for Sciver-Brunt as she gears up for another impactful outing.

It'll be interesting to see if they employ the same pitch. If it's the same strip as the previous match, it could be a little slower as 100 overs have already been bowled there. Seam bowlers will get assistance here, and their slower ones and cutters will be difficult to handle. Batters must get their eye in before they can begin going for it.
The weather in Hamilton will be partly sunny and pleasant.
The average score batting first in women’s ODIs in Seddon Park is 203. We saw in the last game that this isn’t a high-scoring venue, and a total of around 250 will be a match-winning one if the same strip is used.
Hamilton's Seddon Park played host the second ODI amd the forthcoming third ODI match will also be played here. England Women's victory in the previous game, courtesy of winning the toss and opting to bat first, may influence the decision of the toss-winning team in the next match to take a similar approach.
New Zealand Women have now failed to secure a single win against England Women in five meetings. Momentum is firmly on the side of England Women, while New Zealand Women seem to be struggling to gain any momentum of their own. Even with the home ground advantage, it doesn't seem to tilt the scales much in New Zealand's favor. Furthermore, the visiting team's batting and bowling strength sures what New Zealand has to offer.
We are backing England Women to win the third ODI and take the series 3-0.
