AU-W vs NZ-W Dream11 Team Prediction of 2nd T20I: Preview

In this article, we will be talking about AU-W vs NZ-W Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview, Probable XI and detailed player stats of the 2nd T20I between Australia Women and New Zealand Women.

Australia have kickstarted the three match T20I series with a win. They were clinical with both bat and ball. Bowling first, they restricted the visitors to a total of below 150. They used 6 bowling options and all of them picked up a wicket each. Megan Schutt and Sophie Molineux were the pick of the bowlers.

With the bat, their top order did a struggle a bit and were dismissed cheaply. In the middle order Phoebe Litchfield and Georgia Wareham were brilliant and scored 64* and 26 runs respectively and chased down the total with an over to spare.

For New Zealand, they were pretty ordinary in all three departments and will look to bounce back strongly in this game. With the bat, they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and failed to build up partnerships. Skipper Suzie Bates and Maddy Green were the top scorers for them and scored 33 and 35 runs respectively.

With the ball, they did not have much to defend but bowled decently to take the game deep. Molly Penfold was impressive at the top and picked up 2 wickets. Leigh Kasperek and Lea Tahuhu also bowled well and picked up a wicket each.
