Teams & Format
England Women arrive for this ODI series as one of the best sides in the game, but they are still a long way short of Australia at the summit. Despite this, England will have aspirations of edging closer to the best side in the world, and winning a series against a strong New Zealand side will only strengthen their claim to being the best of the rest.
For New Zealand Women, this ODI series is a chance to test themselves in one of the toughest assignments in the game. Playing England on their own patch will see the home side looking to make the most out of any movement that the conditions overhead and underfoot provide, with the English boasting a very strong all-round side.
Together, the pair should put on a real show of quality batting and bowling. The difference between the sides will more than likely be in their ability to see-off the new ball and start quickly whilst keeping things tight with the ball in the latter-stages of the contest.
The format of the series itself will see the sides partaking in the One Day International game. An ODI sees each match providing teams with a maximum of 50 overs (300 deliveries) to bat and 50 overs in the field. As the middle of the three formats between the longer Test match and shorter Twenty20, an ODI will provide teams with the tough proposition of building a big score quickly whilst also keeping wickets in hand.

England vs New Zealand Women ODI Series Key Betting Markets
The ODI format will give the two sides enough deliveries to build a serious score, but neither team can be complacent, with wickets falling too often proving to be the main reason why a team runs out of steam.
With the ODI format in mind, the key betting markets will likely be:
- Top Bowler: The ball tends to take a real beating in the shorter formats, with smaller boundaries and more aggressive batters ensuring the ball flies over the ropes. This makes the bowling unit even more important, with the top wicket-taking option often proving to be the deciding factor in an ODI.
- Most Fours: While sixes are the currency most batters want to deal in, fours are more likely where matches will be won and lost. Hitting consistent boundaries will help to keep the score ticking over while it takes a lot of the danger out of trying to hammer the ball over the rope, with this giving fielders the chance to take a catch.
