New Zealand Women Tour Of Australia: 1st T20I, AUSW vs NZW – Fantasy Tips

Aus-w:

The hosts are set to miss the services of their ace player Perry, who is suffering from a hamstring injury. However, they have big guns like Mooney, Gardner, Haynes and Lanning to make things happen for the team. In bowling, Schutt will carry the burden.

NZ-W:

Sophie Devine and Amy Satterthwaite looked in sweet form and will be looking to carry that forward. They’d need to pull themselves up in the bowling department and if they can do that, Australia would have their work cut out. As usual, Bates will be their senior pro to deliver.
