In the opening match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, New Zealand will play Australia. The tournament’s third match will be held on February 11 at Boland Park in Paarl. In their first warm-up match, Australia Women beat India Women, but in their next match, they lost unexpectedly to Ireland Women.
The Australian women will attempt to win the first contest to put the defeat behind them. Similar results were also achieved by New Zealand, which won the first warm-up match against West Indies and lost to England in the subsequent match.
Australia Women have reached the final of every Women’s T20 World Cup, with the exception of the first tournament in 2009, when they were eliminated in the semifinals. They will be very confident going into this match.
Despite their lack of trophy contention in recent competitions, New Zealand Women have a strong record against Australia Women. They will, nonetheless, be the underdogs in this game.

In terms of consistency in this format and titles won in the Women’s T20 World Cup, no other nation comes close to Australia Women. Despite the fact that Australia Women and New Zealand Women are geographically close neighbors, we do not anticipate this match to be particularly close.
Australia Women will win in Paarl, according to our prediction.
Even though it won’t be as hot as earlier in the day, Paarl will still have temperatures above 25 degrees and clear skies Saturday evening.
On this surface, pace bowlers will appreciate the carry and bounce. We anticipate a total of 165 in the first innings to win this match.
The women of New Zealand have a better record than the women of Australia. Even though New Zealand Women trail Australia Women in the head-to-head, they are still three wins behind.

Beth Mooney finishes this season’s WBBL as the top run scorer and is an excellent batter in all formats. She is our pick to score the most runs for Australia Women against New Zealand Women. Megan Schutt has taken 114 wickets with the bat in WT20Is.
On Saturday evening, we anticipate that she will take the most wickets for Australia Women. As the New Zealand Women’s highest run scorer at Boland Park, Suzie Bates is well worth backing due to her excellent form in the domestic Women’s Super Smash.
Our pick for New Zealand Women’s top wicket-taker against Australia Women is all-rounder Amelia Kerr, who has taken five wickets in two warm-up games. Megan Schutt has excelled in this format for a long time, and we recommend backing him to take over 1.5 wickets in this match.
