<Team New Zealand Report
New Zealand are yet to announce the team for the series with Australia. But based on their latest games, we have arrived at the probable eleven for the 2nd T20I at Napier as follows: Sophie Devine (c), Hayley Jensen, Maddy Green, Amy Satterthwaite, Katey Martin (w-k), Brooke Halliday, Amelia Kerr, Katie Perkins, Rosemary Mair, Jess Kerr, Leigh Kasperek.
Team Australia Reportp>In predicting the Australian eleven, we have stuck largely with the team that played against New Zealand in Australia recently: Alyssa Healy (w-k), Beth Mooney, Meg Lanning (c), Rachael Haynes, Ashleigh Gardner, Sophie Molineux, Nicola Carey, Megan Schutt, Jess Jonassen, Megan Schutt, Delissa Kimmince.

Although Australia are the stronger team, we have deliberately tried to favour New Zealand in our selections. But we were unable to pick more than five New Zealanders. We considered a sixth player in wicketkeeper Katey Martin, but the stats are overwhelmingly in Alyssa Healy’s favour.
Among the batting choices, some names stood out. Chief among these were Mooney, Lanning and Haynes from the Australian side and Satterthwaite from New Zealand. As we were planning to go with one allrounder and five bowlers, we had to pick one more batter. After considering their performances over the last 10 matches, we so opted for Australian Gardner and New Zealander Maddy Green.
The allrounder’s spot was very easy: Amelia Kerr has been outstandingly consistent.
For the bowlers, we had many contenders. Schutt has been one of Australia’s best bowlers in recent times. That left two spots: Mair and J Kerr have been New Zealand’s consistent wicket takers recently.
