New Zealand vs South Africa Women Predictions

New Zealand showed incredible fighting spirit in their opener against Australia, while South Africa collapsed miserably in their opener against England. I’m backing New Zealand to win, but there’s great value (2.20) to back South Africa to get the wheels back on their World Cup truck.

New Zealand Women’s Sophie Devine has scored 23, 34, 54 & 112 in her last 4 innings.
New Zealand Women’s Amelia Kerr has scored 40 & 33 in her last 2 innings.
South Africa Women’s Tazmin Brits has four scores of 98-plus in her last 9 innings.
South Africa Women’s Laura Wolvaardt has scored 100 & 28 in her last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

New Zealand Women have won one and lost four of their last five matches against South Africa Women.

New Zealand Women Form

New Zealand followed up their brace of wins over Sri Lanka by losing to Australia in their opening World Cup match.

New Zealand had Australia in deep trouble at 128/5, but they recovered to post an imposing score of 326. The Silver Ferns bowlers all chipped in with valuable contributions, but Jess Kerr (3/59), Amelia Kerr (2/54) and Lea Tahuhu (3/42) were the pick of their bowlers.

New Zealand lost both openers without a run on the board, but Amelia Kerr (33) and Sophie Devine (112) got them back on track. New Zealand couldn’t maintain the asking rate and were bowled out for 237 off 43.2 overs.

New Zealand Women Team News

New Zealand Women are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

South Africa Women Form

South Africa suffered their second defeat in a row when they were crushed by 10 wickets by England in their World Cup opener.

Sinalo Jafta top-scored with 22 off 36 balls as the Proteas crashed to 69 all out. The next highest score was six!

England raced to a 10-wicket win off 14.1 overs. Marizanne Kapp produced a great spell in an attempt to restrict England, returning figures of 4-0-13-0 (econ 3.25).

South Africa Women Team News

South Africa need to brush off their horror performance against England and look to play at their competitive best.

Verdict

New Zealand Women v South Africa Women

I am backing New Zealand Women to win. I am also backing Sophie Devine to top score for New Zealand Women.

Tazmin Brits is a good bet to top score for the South Africa Women.

New Zealand Women Win
