Fantasy Tips, Predicted Playing XIs, Pitch Report For New Zealand Women vs South Africa Women Match

New Zealand Women will look to seal the three-match ODI series when they take on South Africa Women on April 4 at the Basin Reserve in Wellington, with the series currently level at 1-1. The hosts head into the decider with confidence, especially after their record breaking performance in the previous match.

The White Ferns pulled off the highest successful run chase in Women’s ODI history in the 2nd ODI match. Led by Amelia Kerr’s sensational unbeaten 179 off 139 balls, New Zealand secured a thrilling two-wicket win with just two balls remaining. Kerr also stitched a crucial 120-run partnership with Isabella Gaze, while Chloe Tryon’s explosive 24-ball fifty and Ayabonga Khaka’s 3/51 were standout performances for South Africa.

Earlier in the series, South Africa Women had taken the lead with a two-wicket win in the first ODI at Christchurch. Kayla Reyneke was the hero, smashing a six off the final ball to finish the chase and earning Player of the Match honours. Contributions from Annerie Dercksen and Sune Luus, along with Khaka’s brilliant 6/56, powered South Africa, while Maddy Green’s 85 kept New Zealand hopes alive for a long time.
