The 3rd One-Day international (ODI) between New Zealand Women and Zimbabwe Women is all set to be played at the University Oval, Dunedin. New Zealand Women have been absolutely ruthless with their form in this tour against Zimbabwe Women. The skipper, Amelia Kerr, has been at the peak of her powers, and her side has delivered every game so far. The management will be pleased with the character they have shown in this series, as they have always found themselves in the driving seat in every match. As New Zealand Women gear up to take on Zimbabwe Women, here are the top 3 players to look out for:
Maddy Green
Maddy Green, the New Zealand batter, has been a consistent performer for her national side in recent times. In her ODI career, she has scored 1887 runs from 79 innings at a strike rate of 74, and she has also picked up 2 wickets from 8 innings at an economy rate of 5. She scored a well-made 27 off 29 runs in the previous game against Zimbabwe Women. She will feel like she missed out on a huge score, but she looked in good touch and will be ready to compensate for it in the final game of the series.
Molly Penfold
Molly Penfold, the young New Zealand pacer, has been a fine prospect for the White Ferns in white-ball cricket. In her ODI career, she has picked up 14 wickets from 15 innings at an economy rate of 5. She has picked up 5 wickets so far in this series, and she also scalped a 3-wicket haul against Zimbabwe Women in the 2nd ODI. She will be confident in her abilities, and she will be looking to make the best of her current form.
Amelia Kerr
Amelia Kerr, the New Zealand all-rounder and skipper, has been a dominant force of nature in women’s cricket. In her ODI career, she has scored 2364 runs from 73 innings at a strike rate of 82, and she has picked up 117 wickets from 85 innings at an economy rate of 4. She secured the player of the match award in the previous match, with a sensational 7-wicket haul and a solid knock of 45. She will be hopeful that she can perform well in the finale and whitewash the Zimbabwe Women in the ODI series as well.
