The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 AM IST (2:00 PM local time) on April 7, 2021, from the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. Here is our NZ-W vs AU-W Dream11 prediction, NZ-W vs AU-W Dream11 team and NZ-W vs AU-W Dream11 top picks. 

NZ-W vs AU-W Dream11 prediction: Match preview

After going up 1-0 in their ongoing three-match ODI series against New Zealand on Sunday, the Australia Women will come into this match hoping to secure the series with a win. The Aussies will also be aiming to extend an extremely impressive streak of 22 straight ODI wins - a world record spanning both, men's and women's cricket. With such momentum behind the visitors - who have remained unbeaten in every single ODI game since March 2018 - the New Zealand Women will have to put up a momentous performance, not unlike the one that allowed them to win the 2nd T20I match against the Aussies last month.

Having already gone down 0-3 to the Aussies in their last two ODI series, New Zealand will hope for Lauren Down to remain in good form while hoping that Amy Satterthwaite and Amelia Kerr play longer knocks this time around. They will also need better bowling performances from the likes of Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu and Hayley Jensen if they want to stop Australia's run. Meanwhile, the visitors will be happy letting things go on the way they are, with Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner in splendid form along with Megan Schutt who was the player of the match on Sunday for her 4-32 haul.
