Preview:

England Women will take on New Zealand Women in the first ODI of the five-match series. The encounter takes place at the County Ground in Bristol on Thursday (September 16). Having won the preceding T20I series 2-1, the home team must be high on confidence. However, the Kiwis can’t be taken lightly.

Notably, the English side met India Women in their last ODI assignment and walked away with a 3-0 triumph. On the other hand, New Zealand met their trans-tasman rivals Australia in their last ODI series and suffered a humiliating 3-0 triumph. Hence, the visitors have to put up a substantial effort to emerge victoriously in the upcoming games.
