The series opener of the five-match T20I series between England Women and New Zealand Women was played at the University Oval in Dunedin. This is a crucial series for both the teams with the T20 World Cup set to take place in Bangladesh later this year in September-October. However, the timing of the series was under the scanner recently as it started close to the conclusion of the second edition of the Women’s Premier League.
England Squad: (for first three T20Is of the series) – Hollie Armitage, Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Lauren Filer, Danielle Gibson, Sarah Glenn, Bess Heath, Amy Jones, Heather Knight (c), and Linsey Smith
(for last two T20Is of the series) – Tammy Beaumont, Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, Danielle Gibson, Sarah Glenn, Bess Heath, Amy Jones, Heather Knight (c), Nat Sciver-Brunt, and Danielle Wyatt
