Ahead of our New Zealand Women vs South Africa Women players to watch, we will initially look at the upcoming match between the two sides. New Zealand played in dominant fashion in their first match, restricting Sri Lanka to less than 200. They then chased it down with the loss of just one wicket for ruthless first win. For South Africa, it was more a case of getting the job done as they beat Pakistan by three wickets in a bowler-dominated match.
Prior to looking at the recent form, we should discuss the key names for both sides. For New Zealand, Susie Bates and Amy Satterthwaite are massive with the bat as they showed in the first ICC Women’s World Cup match against Sri Lanka. For South Africa, Lizelle Lee is a wonderful talent in the middle order, while Moseline Daniels gave nothing away with the ball grabbing figures of 2-21 from 10 overs.
Before our New Zealand Women vs South Africa Women outright odds and betting tips, we first look at the form of both teams. Coming into the match, New Zealand have won seven of their last 10 matches but only two of their last five heading into this tournament. South Africa, meanwhile, have an identical record winning all but three of their last 10. They have managed wins in their last two coming into this ICC Women’s World Cup match.
The teams have met in One-Day cricket on eight occasions. New Zealand lead the head-to-head with six wins while the South Africans managed just two wins, their last being in October of last year where they won a low-scoring game by one run.
Both sides have opened their respective ICC Women’s World Cup campaigns with wins and with England losing their first match, they know the importance of racking up the wins early doors. In the round robin format, you are allowed a couple of mistakes but both these teams will want to be around the business end of this competition so it’s a chance to size up a rival and maybe grab an early advantage.
New Zealand are strong with the bat and Susie Bates century in the first game showed she was in great form, so she is worth a shot for leading NZ batter. South Africa rely heavily on Lizelle Lee who has been brilliant for her country, so she, like Bates, represents a good value as the top team batter. Our tips:
