League: IPL
The final match of the T20I series between New Zealand Women and England Women is set to take place at Basin Reserve in Wellington this Friday. Following their 47-run victory in the last match, the English team currently leads the series 3-1.
A win in the upcoming game would provide a morale boost for the White Ferns as both teams prepare to transition into the 50-overs format.
The Basin Reserve pitch favours batters with its conducive environment, providing them with a high-quality wicket to demonstrate their abilities. However, it also offers advantages for bowlers, especially spinners, who can exploit the conditions effectively. This is evidenced by the average score typically standing around 131.
