Aus Women vs NZ Women, 3rd ODI: Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI Updates & Fantasy Cricket Tips - March 3rd, 2019

In what was supposed to be an evenly matched series between Australia and New Zealand, the Aussies have outplayed their opponents and have wrapped up the series with a clean sweep firmly in their thoughts with the third ODI set to take place at the Junction Oval on Sunday. Ellyse Perry was at her best in the second ODI as she guided Australia to a winning total while none of the Kiwis were able to get themselves in.

With the current points system prevalent in Women's cricket, no match is a dead-rubber, which directs to another cliff-hanger on Sunday.

Playing XI Updates

Australia Women

Ellyse Perry was at her scintillating best as she scored 107 runs while propelling Australia to a match-winning total. She will once again be key to what should be an unchanged side with the likes of Megan Schutt and Jess Jonassen in pristine form. Meg Lanning and Alyssa Healy are yet to get going and with this being the final encounter of the series, one can expect them to come to the party as well against the Kiwis.

Possible XI: Haynes, Healy(WK), Lanning(C), Perry, Mooney, Villani, Gardner, Jonassen, Kimmince, Wareham and Schutt.

New Zealand Women

Lauren Down is set to be dropped after a string of failures in the top order with Maddy Green available to play instead of her. Much is expected of Bates and Devine up top, who are key to the Kiwis' fortunes while the bowling needs to close out the death overs effectively, which has been their undoing on both occasions.

Possible XI: Bates, Devine, Down/Green, Satterthwaite (WK), Perkins, Martin, Kerr, Kasperek, Jensen, Tahuhu, and Mair

Batsmen: Suzie Bates is New Zealand's best chance of getting to a respectable score and should be backed to overcome her bad run with a good performance while the likes of Meg Lanning and Any Sattherthwaite pick themselves in the fantasy team.

All-rounders: Ashleigh Gardner is preferred over Ellyse Perry with her abilities sure to play a part on Sunday while Sophie Devine and Jess Jonassen are must have players in the fantasy team.

Bowlers: Megan Schutt, Rosemary Mair and Leigh Kasperek are the ideal set of players to have in the side with the likes of Kimmince and Hannah Rowe also available in case of a different set of players are desired.
