The third and final T20I between Australia Women and New Zealand Women is set to take place at Eden Park in Auckland on Thursday.
Although the Aussie Women started the series in fine fashion, New Zealand Women came back strongly in the second T20I to level the series. Despite Sophie Devine missing for the White Ferns, the likes of Frances Mackay and Maddy Green were up to the task in what was a sensational victory. However, they will need to come up with another stellar performance against a wounded Aussie unit, who will be eyeing a series win.
With a power-packed batting unit in place, Meg Lanning and co. are the clear favorites heading into the series decider. But with momentum on their side, one cannot write off New Zealand Women at any cost. All in all, an entertaining game of T20I cricket beckons, with both teams eyeing a series win at Eden Park on Thursday.

Pitch Report
Unlike the pitch at McLean Park, a better batting track is expected at Eden Park. While the pacers should get the ball to move around, there will be some help available off the surface for the spinners. Powerplay overs will be crucial, with the ball skidding on nicely to the bat. Both teams will look to bat first and make good use of the conditions. Although 140-150 should be par at the venue, both teams have the firepower to cross the 160-run mark.
