New Zealand Women (NZ-W) and Australia Women (AUS-W) kick off their series by facing off in the first ODI. Both sides will lock horns at the Basin Reserve, Wellington, on Thursday, December 19. It is worth noting that Australia women have been in excellent form as of late, winning their last five matches, and they will hope to carry that momentum into the upcoming series as well.
On the other hand, the New Zealanders’ form has been dicey in the last few matches. The side has managed to win one of their last five games, and they will hope that they can turn it around in the clash against Australia.
