New Zealand beating India is a good start for them but they now have a challenge against their neighbours and rivals. Coming into the tournament, New Zealand had a streak of ten losses in a row, losing to Australia on a few of those occasions as well.

AUS-W vs NZ-W Key Players

Amelia Kerr

Kerr is a top all-rounder going around. However her record against Australia like many New Zealand legends is something which leaves a lot to wonder. She has the technique on spin-friendly tracks and a performance from her will be the major difference.

Beth Moony

Beth Moony has been a touch scratchy with her form coming into the tournament. She is going big but there are a lot of low scores as well in between. A strong start from her will be exactly what Australia will be looking for as they look to extend their mighty lead in Women's International events over the other sides.

AUS-W vs NZ-W Match Tips

Australia are easy favorites after a commanding start to their career despite New Zealand's start early on as well.

Match Prediction: Australia Will Win the Match
