EN-W vs NZ-W Match Prediction

England Women have been dominant throughout the competition. They put up a great fight with both the bat and the ball against India in the semi-final as well and missed out by a very short margin in the end.

The New Zealand Women were not able to put Australia under any pressure in their semi-final clash. England Women beat New Zealand Women in the final league stage game earlier as well and will start as favorites to claim the bronze medal.

Prediction: England Women to win this encounter.
