NZ-W vs EN-W Dream11 New Zealand Women vs England Women 26 Feb

NZ-W vs EN-W Dream11 Prediction: After registering a scintillating win in the opening fixture, the visiting’ English lass would be heading into the second ODI with their tails up. The visitors were dominant in every facet of the game and were able to put the hosts under the pedal right from the outset. It was a clinical display by the bowlers who restricted the hosts for a mere 178 in 45.1 overs. Ecclestone and Farrant got 2 wickets each, whereas, the rest of the bowlers scalped 1 apiece.

The nominal chase was led by the opener Tammy Beaumont who scored 71 and skipper Heather Knight who made an unbeaten 67 to take their side home and 1-0 in the 3-match series. The hosts now have a huge task to cut out in the second T20I and it would be interesting to see how they respond.

NZ-W vs EN-W Prediction, Captain & Differential Picks

Captain picks

Tammy Beaumont: The right-hand English opener looked afloat with a magnificent 71 in the last game. Talking about her numbers, she has 2458 runs from 64 innings in ODIs.

Heather Knight: The English skipper scored an unbeaten 67 in the last game. From 97 ODI innings, she has now scored 2867 runs and has scalped 48 as well.

Sophie Devine: The Whiteferns skipper has 2676 runs under her belt from 96 ODI innings and has scalped 74 wickets. She had a decent outing with the ball in the last game, but with the bat, she would be looking for more.

Differential picks

Natalie Sciver: The highly-rated English all-rounder looked on the money in the last game with an unbeaten 21, taking her side over the line. She has 1965 runs from 59 ODI innings to go with 45 scalps.

Hayley Jensen: After scoring an impressive fifty in the last game, Jensen would be high on confidence. From 12 ODI innings, she has scored 175 runs including a fifty.

Amy Satterthwaite: The veteran batter and vice-captain of Whiteferns will be a prime figure with the bat. She has got scores of 69, 41, and 3 in her last three games and would be a great choice for captain/vice-captain in both GL and SL teams.
