Pitch Report
A decent batting track beckons at the John Davies Oval with ample help on offer for the bowlers as well. Although there will be nice carry and bounce off the surface, the pacers should get the new ball to move around a bit and keep the batters on their toes. But there won't be much turn on offer, and variations in pace will be key for the spinners in the middle overs. The pitch isn't expected to change much during the game, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss. 250 should be par at the venue, with wickets in hand towards the backend of the innings being crucial to the cause.
Today’s NZ-W vs IN-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Richa Ghosh: Richa Ghosh has been impressive for India in the middle order, coming up with handy runs at a fair rate. Her ability to get going from ball one should hold her in good stead ahead of this game.
Batter
Suzie Bates: Although Suzie Bates wasn't able to get many runs in the previous game, she has already scored a hundred in the ODI series. Bates is one of the most experienced players in the world, with her record speaking for herself. Given her recent form and ability to score big runs, Bates is a good addition to your NZ-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Amelia Kerr: Amelia Kerr was the star of the show in the previous game as she scored a match-winning hundred to help New Zealand chase down 270 with an over to spare. In addition to her impressive batting form and ability, Kerr is a great bowler too, making her a must-have in your NZ-W vs IN-W Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Poonam Yadav: Although Poonam Yadav has blown hot and cold in the series, she has kept the scoring down in the middle overs. Poonam, who relies on extracting turn at a relatively slow pace and lure batters into making mistakes, will be key for India with the ball. With some help on offer for the spinners, Poonam should pick up a wicket or two in this game.
