#AustraliaWomen vs #NewZealandWomen #ICCWomensWorldCup #ICCWomensWorldCup2022 It's going to be one of the biggest contests of this competition as the hosts New Zealand take on Australia. The hosts have not got the result in their favor since 2017 against the Aussies in one-day internationals and today would be a good chance to get back in the groove against their traditional arch rivals as they were successful against them in the warm-up fixture. The White Ferns have enjoyed success in the format lately with a 4-1 victory against India at home and won both their warm-up games before starting the World cup with a thrilling loss against West Indies but made a sharp comeback with commanding wins over Bangladesh and India. All rounder Amelia Kerr is in great form with both bat and ball lately which is an excellent sign for the White Ferns. She has registered scores of 33, 119*, 67, 68*, 66, 92*, 13, 47* and 50 since the recently concluded India series and is chipping with the ball in hand as well during the middle phase of the inning. Lea Tahuhu has become a force to be reckoned with as she has picked 18 wickets in the last one year, the most for New Zealand in ODIs! She has carried that form in this edition of the World cup as well and stands joint second in the highest wicket taker's chart with six scalps. Australia at the other hand is known to be the greatest team as far as the WODI format is concerned and comes to the tournament on the back of an emphatic Ashes win, the multi-format series against arch rivals and current World champions, England. They went down against New Zealand in the warm-ups but started their campaign strongly with two big wins against England and Pakistan. Their performance has been boosted by the inclusion of young leggie Alana King, who has picked up five wickets from the couple of matches and has been posing a threat to all kinds of batters around the World! Rachel Haynes, skipper Meg Lanning and wicketkeeper Alyssa Healy have been performing extremely well with the bat and are the top batters for the team with Healy doubling that up with excellent display from behind the stumps.
