The New Zealand women are all set to turn their fortunes against the Australian women in the first ODI of the three-match series slated to take place on December 19 at Basin Reserve in Wellington. This series promises to be a thrilling contest between the two powerhouses.

The White Ferns last played in an ODI series against Team India after the conclusion of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The side suffered defeat against India by 2-1 in a three-match series. Sophie Devine will be leading the side and aims to rally New Zealand for a strong start. On the other hand, Australia heads to this game after a dominant 3-0 whitewash against Harmanpreet Kaur-led India. Alyssa Healy, who suffered an injury setback in the World Cup, has marked her return to the side, and the visitors will look to maintain their winning streak.
