NZ W vs AUS W: Match Preview
The first match of this series is set to take place at Eden Park, Auckland, a batter-friendly surface with small boundaries. The New Zealand women’s team enters this series after a 1-1 tie against Sri Lanka. The last time these two teams faced off was in the T20 World Cup, where Australia was the only team to beat New Zealand in the tournament. However, New Zealand went on to win the tournament, defeating South Africa in the final.
New Zealand had fielded their B team against Sri Lanka due to many players being occupied with the WPL 2025, but now that all the players are back, they will be sporting their core group against Australia in this match.

For Australia, this is their first T20 series since their dominant 3-0 victory over England in the Ashes earlier this year. After the Ashes series, players have been busy with WPL 2025. Now, they face New Zealand at their home ground as the bilateral series begins for this season. Australia has always been a dominant force in this format, and it's tough to beat them in T20Is. New Zealand has a poor record against Australia, having won only 1 series out of 10, with the record standing at 10-1 in favor of Australia. The last time New Zealand won a T20I series against Australia was back in 2009.
This time, both teams will be looking to perform well, and this series will be one to watch for the fans. Stay tuned as Australia and New Zealand deliver an exciting game of cricket in this T20I series.
