NZW vs ENGW Match Prediction & Analysis
Sophie Devine and co. will be disappointed after they missed out on the opportunity to level the series in the last match. The skipper’s all-round performance helped the hosts secure a 3-run win in the 3rd T20I.
However, England Women were back on top as the series moved to Wellington in the 4th T20I. While Maia Bouchier continued her good run of form with another impactful performance, this time at the top of the lineup, England saw Nat-Sciver Brunt come into the side and deliver a quick-fire knock in the middle-order.
New Zealand Women managed to trouble the English batters at the Saxton Oval in both outings. However, the Basin Reserve at Wellington is a great batting venue and it will be up to the batters to get their team on top of the game.
NZ Women will take on the visitors for the last time in this T20I series. Their batting has been out of form and without a huge comeback, the hosts would possibly be looking at another loss.

TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Preview
New Zealand Women missed out on a chance to level the series in the last game in Wellington. They are trailing 1-3 in the 5-match series and will be hoping to finish on a winning note.
This seems like a tough ask given their current form. Their bowling was impressive at the Saxton Ova and gave New Zealand Women a good chance of winning on both occasions.
They lost while chasing a 150-run target in the 2nd T20I but successfully managed to defend a 155-run total in the very next game at the same venue. If it wasn’t for Sophie Devine’s 37-ball 60-run knock, the hosts would have possibly finished with a much lower total.
The captain was crucial with the ball too as NZ Women won that game by 3 runs. What the hosts need is Suzie Bates to find her form at the top. She is the most experienced batter in this lineup and her role is very crucial as an opener.
Except for Bernadine Bezuidenhout and Maddy Green, everyone in the top 4 of this batting order is an all-rounder. Could it be the lack of specialist batters that’s hurting the White Ferns?
Bowling all-rounder Amelia Kerr is a crucial figure at number 3 and has played a few good knocks in this series. She is another one who can make a huge difference to the team total.
With the ball, Fran Jonas, Amelia Kerr, and Sophie Devine will be leading New Zealand and in the absence of Devine, Rosemary Mair and Jess Kerr will be expected to deliver breakthroughs.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Suzie Bates, Bernadine Bezuidenhout, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine (c), Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Isabella Gaze (wk), Hannah Rowe, Jess Kerr, Rosemary Mair, Fran Jonas

England Women Preview
England Women kicked off the series on a winning note but were soon on the back foot in the next two games. Had the hosts been slightly better with the bat, they would have taken a 2-1 lead.
England Women were the better team when it mattered the most. First, they defended a low score of 149 runs. Later, they quickly bounced back after their first loss of the series to post the highest 1st innings total of the series so far.
Maia Bouchier who was quite impressive in the middle-order is now opening the innings for England while Nat-Sciver Brunt is back in the middle-order. These two were quite impactful in the last game as England scored 177 runs.
Heather Knight will be more confident as she comes in at number 5 knowing that two of the top 4 batters are in fine touch. Tammy Beaumont and Sophia Dunkley opened the innings for the first 3 matches and then it was Bouchier and Danielle Wyatt replacing them as openers in the 4th T20I.
And though Wyatt didn’t get going, we reckon England would stick with the same opening combination for this match. Amy Jones and Dunkley follow lower down the order at 6 and 7 giving the side more options as finishers.
Sophie Ecclestone, Charlotte Dean, and Lauren Bell will be the key wicket-taking bowlers in this squad to watch out for. They’ve also got Danielle Gibson who’s been quite consistent with her economy and also managed to deliver breakthroughs.
England Women Predicted Playing XI:
Danielle Wyatt, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Heather Knight (c), Amy Jones (wk), Sophia Dunkley, Danielle Gibson, Sophie Ecclestone, Charlotte Dean, Lauren Bell

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a batting-friendly pitch and there will be a lot of runs on offer. There is enough bounce and carry to allow batters to play their strokes freely and time them to perfection. The weather will be windy with a high of 14 degrees Celsius in Wellington on the match day.
NZW vs ENGW Pitch Report
Basin Reserve in Wellington will be the venue for the 5th T20I of the New Zealand vs England Women’s T20I series 2024. The visitors have already won the series and look quite threatening with the bat. They might want to put another competitive total like they did in the last match. A 175+ 1st innings total would be a match-winning score on this ground.
Toss: To Bowl
In Women’s T20Is, teams bowling first have won 3 of the 4 matches played at this venue. Though the hosts failed to chase down a target in the last match, we reckon bowling first will still be a good option on this ground.
NZW vs ENGW
Winning Prediction
New Zealand Women seemed to be competitive and very much in the game for quite some time during the 2nd and 3rd T20Is. However, overall, their performances with the bat have been quite inconsistent and they’ve lacked reliable and in-form batters at key positions.
England Women on the other hand have bounced back brilliantly after their first loss and have a much stronger overall squad in comparison. England Women will start as favorites in our match prediction.
