NZ-W VS IN-W, 5th ODI, Dream 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report, and Other Updates

New Zealand women will take on Indian women in the fifth ODI of the series on Thursday. The NZ-W vs IN-W game will be played at the John Davies Oval, Queenstown. Indian women have been dominated by the Kiwi women in this series. They won the fourth match by 63 runs after the match was reduced to 20 overs due to rain. New Zealand made 191 runs for the loss of five wickets as Amelia Kerr once again smashed the bowlers scoring a quickfire 68* off just 33 balls.

In reply, only Richa Ghosh showed some fight with the bat scoring 52 runs off just 29 balls including 4 fours and 4 sixes. In the end, the Indian women were 63 runs short of the target.

The Indian women are winless on this tour so far. After losing the only T20I game, the team lost four ODIs in a row. This series has been difficult for Indian batters and bowlers, and except for a few, no other player has a clue about the playing conditions.

Who will Win- Match Prediction

Looking at the current form and team combination, New Zealand is the expected winner of this match. They have been dominating the Indian Women since the start of the series. Indian women on the other hand have been clueless. The bowling has been the main issue for them. They must be looking to salvage something from the tour and give it their all in the last game.
