The White Ferns were thrashed by the Australian side in their previous game by 141 runs and they will be looking to come back with a strong performance against South Africa.

The Women in Green pulled off a stunning win by 3 wickets in their previous game against title-holders England and will be riding high on confidence. However, this will be a big game for them to make sure they keep up their winning momentum intact.

New Zealand-W vs South Africa-W Head to Head

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter: Amy Satterthwaite

Amy Satterthwaite has been one of the best batters in the Women’s World Cup 2022 so far with some important innings and the right-hander will be instrumental to success against Australia. Satterthwaite has scored 150 runs in four innings in the tournament so far and she scored a match-winning 75 against India. The 35-year-old scored a valiant 44 in the previous game against Australia and will be looking to continue her impressive form.

Probable best bowler: Lea Tahuhu

Lea Tahuhu continued her wicket-taking form in the Women’s World Cup 2022 and despite New Zealand conceding a big score against Australia, Tahuhu picked up three wickets. She has been handy with the bat down the order and also was one of the stand-out performers against India. The medium-pacer can trouble the batters upfront and will be looking to go hard at the opponent’s top order.
