Match Details
Match: Australia Women vs New Zealand Women (ODI)
Date & Time: 1 Oct 2025, 03:00 PM IST
Venue: Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore
Quick Preview
Australia Women enter with 4 wins in their last 5 and a dominant H2H streak (5/5 wins) vs NZ-W. New Zealand’s recent form is mixed, but they lean heavily on Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine, and an improving pace group (Tahuhu/Carson/Jess Kerr).
Holkar is high-scoring but assists spin more than pace—that suits Australia’s all-rounders (Gardner, Sutherland) and wrist/left-arm spin options.

|---|---|---|
Alana King | AUS | Wrist-spin > pace at Holkar |
Megan Schutt | AUS | PP swing; death skills |
Kim Garth | AUS | Useful in PP/Death; catches, LBWs |

Powerplay & Death Overs Impact
Powerplay (0–10): Schutt, Garth (AUS) and Jess Kerr (NZ) prime for early poles; Healy/Mooney and Devine are high-variance PP batters.
Middle Overs (11–40): Spin wins here—Gardner/King for AUS; Amelia Kerr/Carson for NZ.
Death (41–50): Sutherland offers wicket shots + batting finish; Schutt/Garth vs Tahuhu/Jess Kerr. Prioritize bowlers who bowl at least 2+ overs in the last 10.
MVP & Differential Picks
Top MVPs: Ash Gardner, Annabel Sutherland, Amelia Kerr, Beth Mooney.
Differentials: Georgia Voll (form spike), Alana King (venue spin boost), Eden Carson (budget spinner), Maddy Green (stability with sneaky SR).
Suggested Dream11 Combination (Small League)
Playing XIs not announced—adjust for toss & lineups.
WK (1): Beth Mooney
BAT (3): Georgia Voll, Phoebe Litchfield, Maddy Green
AR (4): Ash Gardner (C), Annabel Sutherland (VC), Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine
BOWL (3): Alana King, Megan Schutt, Jess Kerr
Bench/Alternates: Kim Garth, Lea Tahuhu, Georgia Plimmer, Eden Carson, Alyssa Healy
Why C/VC:
Gardner (C): All-format involvement + spin-friendly venue.
Sutherland (VC): High consistency + finishing role.
Backup C/VC: Amelia Kerr (two-way impact), Beth Mooney (safe floor).
Conditional Strategy & Final Tips
If AUS-W bat first: Stack top 5 AUS batters; keep 2 AUS spinners (Gardner/King). Death pacer Schutt/Garth retains value.
If NZ-W bat first: Lock Amelia Kerr; add Devine/Green for anchor + hitter balance; one of Jess Kerr/Tahuhu becomes must-have.
Spin Bias: Prioritize at least 2–3 spinners overall.
Balance: 7–8 AUS core with 2–3 NZ differentials works for small leagues given H2H trend.
Grand League punts: Carson, Plimmer, Healy (explosive PP), Tahuhu on new-ball juice.
Reminder: Re-check toss, batting order, and final XIs before locking.
