Australia Women vs New Zealand Women 2019, 1st ODI: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

The Southern Stars will play the White Ferns in a 3-match ODI series starting from Friday. This ICC Championship game will take place at Perth and is presumed to be a highly competitive one. This will be the first time that the Australia women will step onto the field after the ICC Women’s World T20 triumph.

However, most of the players in the squad kept themselves busy with the Women’s BBL 2018-19 during this period. Having won all the last five ODIs they played, the home team will be high on morale. On the other hand, the New Zealand women have played a series against India in the interim. They lost the ODIs 1-2 but won the T20Is 3-0. They will be oozing with confidence after clean sweeping India in the shortest format.
