The third and final ODI between New Zealand Women and Australia Women takes place at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui on Saturday.
Australia Women have been rampant, wrapping up the series after winning the second game. While the likes of Rachael Haynes and Meg Lanning have done well with the bat, the visitors' bowling attack has also shone to derail New Zealand Women. Australia will be eyeing a clean sweep, but it won't be easy.
The White Ferns have shown glimpses of their capabilities in the series. Despite missing the services of Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine, New Zealand Women have impressed one and all. However, they will need the likes of Amy Satterthwaite and Amelia Kerr to come up with the goods and lead from the front if they are to salvage some pride. With both teams eyeing a win for varied reasons, we should be in for an entertaining game of cricket at the Bay Oval.

Pitch Report
With the pitch being a touch on the slower side, the likes of Leigh Kasperek and Nicola Carey ran riot in previous games. The ball should swing early on, keeping the pacers interested. The middle overs will be crucial to either side's fortunes as the pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 250 being par at the venue.
