Preview

With the series gone to the visitors, New Zealand Women will have nothing more than pride to play for in the last game of the three-match series. Continuing their clinical show in the second T20I, the visitors won the game by 6 wickets and 16 balls to spare while chasing a simple target of 124 for claiming the series. Tammy Beaumont and Heather Knight joined each other for a match-winning 83-run stand for the third wicket and the former’s 63-run knock proved to be the pivot of a comprehensive chase.

Rocked by the brilliance of Freya Davies, who returned with 4 wickets, alongside Natalie Sciver and Sarah Glenn, who both got two apiece, New Zealand Women could manage only 123 from their 20 overs, and keeping aside Amy Satterthwaite, who got a 30-ball 49, there was hardly anything for them to look towards. After another disappointing batting performance, they failed to emulate their opponents with the ball.

Captaincy Picks

Tammy Beaumont

Tammy Beaumont lit up the ODI series, notching up a hat-trick of half-centuries. Although her 88 from 113 came in a losing cause, both the half-centuries that followed proved crucial in her team’s victories. She has been able to carry forward that form in the T20I series as well, and her spectacular knock of 63 from 53 in the previous fixture impressed many.

Sophie Devine

One of the most experienced players in the 20-over format, Sophie Devine has 2447 ODI runs in her 94-match career at a strike rate of 125.42, and 91 wickets with the ball, which makes her one of the leading all-rounders in Women’s Twenty20. While she has not been at her best in the series, expect her to lead from the front in the last game.
