ENG vs NZ Match Preview:
England women’s national cricket team will face New Zealand women’s national cricket team in the second ODI of the three-match series at the County Ground on May 13, 2026. England Women currently lead the series 1-0 after registering a thrilling one-wicket victory in the opening encounter at Chester-le-Street. Consequently, the hosts now require one more victory to secure the series, while New Zealand Women must respond strongly to avoid another defeat and keep the contest alive heading into the final ODI.
In the first ODI, New Zealand women’s national cricket team posted 210 runs in 48.4 overs after Maddy Green anchored the innings brilliantly with 88 off 107 deliveries. Amelia Kerr also contributed an important 55, although the visitors suffered a dramatic collapse late in the innings after losing their final five wickets for just five runs. Charlie Dean controlled the game effectively with the ball for England and finished with figures of 2/21, while debutant Tilly Corteen-Coleman impressed with two wickets as well. Therefore, New Zealand will now expect stronger contributions from the middle order to support their experienced top batters.
Meanwhile, England women’s national cricket team completed the chase at 211/9 with ten balls remaining despite consistent pressure from the New Zealand bowlers. Maia Bouchier laid the foundation with a composed 59, whereas Rosemary Mair and Amelia Kerr repeatedly brought the visitors back into the contest with crucial breakthroughs. However, stand-in captain Charlie Dean guided England across the finish line with an unbeaten 31 under pressure. As a result, England enters the second ODI with strong confidence and momentum, while New Zealand aims to deliver a disciplined all-round performance to force a series decider.
