Venue: Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore
Quick Preview
Recent form:
NZ-W: L W W L (mixed)
SA-W: L L W W W (upward trend)
Recent H2H tilt: SA-W have won 3 of the last 4 vs NZ-W.
Context for fantasy: The venue has been high-scoring with an avg 1st inns ~370 and 9 wickets/inn. Both pace and spin have impact here—build a balanced attack with bankable all-rounders.
Win Probability (pre-toss)
Team | Chance |
|---|---|
SA-W | 55% |
NZ-W | 45% |
Reasoning: SA’s slightly better recent run + stronger H2H. NZ still very live if their star ARs (Devine, A Kerr) click.

Final Tips & Conditional Strategy
If NZ-W bat first: Boost Devine, A Kerr, and add a fourth bowler (Eden Carson or Bess Illing) for wickets as SA chase pressure builds.
If SA-W bat first: Prioritise Brits/Wolvaardt stacks and Klaas/Khaka for death-overs wickets; keep Kapp locked.
Chasing bias vs sample quirk: Toss often sees chasing chosen, but recent wins have skewed bat-first—don’t overfit; build for both innings with 3 wicket-takers.
GL punts: Tryon (cameo + 5–6 overs if conditions grip), Hannah Rowe (form), Ayabonga Khaka (PP + death 3-fers).
Summary: Slight edge to SA-W on form/H2H, but NZ-W’s AR core (Devine/A Kerr) can swing contests. Go all-rounder heavy, add 2 NZ seamers + 1 SA spinner or 2 SA seamers + 1 NZ seamer based on toss, and captain A Kerr for the safest all-phase impact.
