New Zealand Women Preview

New Zealand Women bounced back to winning ways in game two of this series, and the win was crucial to them salvaging this series. After losing by two wickets to South Africa Women in the first, they quickly bounced back to winning ways with the same scoreline in game two. The game looked as if it were slipping out of their hands while chasing a challenging 347, and they were 130/4. However, an impressive display from Amelia Kerr (179*) and Isabelle Gaze (68) was enough to win the game. With the series leveled, they all have to fight for it in this last game.
