T20 World Cup Women: New Zealand vs Scotland Match Preview Odds & Predictions
New Zealand
Scotland
New Zealand will lock horns against Scotland in the T20 World Cup on Tuesday. Both teams have lost twice and won once in their last three games. How will this game unfold?
New Zealand Preview
New Zealand secured a four-run win in their last game against Ireland, ending their two consecutive losses. In their last outing, they had a bad start as the Irish bowlers quickly dismissed three New Zealand players, conceding 10 runs in the first four overs and losing important players early. Izzy Sharp and Brooke Halliday took it so personally that they saved the conditions and paired together to work, scoring 36 and 34 runs each, respectively, helping them make up for their first bad performance. They currently sit 3rd in Group 2 with two points from three matches.
New Zealand XI
Isabella Gaze (wk), Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr (c), Sophie Devine, Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Izzy Sharp, Jess Kerr, Nensi Patel, Rosemary Mair, Bree Illing.
Scotland Preview
Scotland suffered in their last game against England, putting them on a two-game losing streak. Scotland came to this World Cup with a fantastic winning record of a three-game winning streak, but disappointingly, they have been failing in the World Cup; they only won their first match over Ireland, but they have suffered in their recent two games at the hands of West Indies and England in their last game. They currently sit 4th in Group 2 with two points from three matches.
Scotland XI
Darcey Carter, Katherine Fraser, Kathryn Bryce (c), Sarah Bryce (wk), Megan McColl, Pippa Sproul, Priyanaz Chatterji, Kirstie Gordon, Chloe Abel, Hannah Rainey, Gabriella Fontenla.
New Zealand vs Scotland Prediction
Both teams have not been at their best here and have matched each other's form in their last five games, seeing them win three and lose twice, but I’m still backing Scotland to win here because they have won four of their last six games, compared to New Zealand, who have suffered three losses in theirs. My prediction is a win for Scotland, with 1xBet offering odds of 4.62.
