Pitch Report
A good batting track is expected at Grace Road with help on offer for the pacers. A few clouds should make an appearance, possibly assisting the pacers early on. The batters will need to bide their time in the middle before going big. However, the spinners will come into play in the middle overs, making for a great battle between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 240-250 being a good total at the venue.
Today’s EN-W vs NZ-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Katey Martin: Katey Martin hasn't been in the best of form in the series so far with miserly returns with the bat. However, Martin's experience holds her in good stead, with her wicketkeeping ability also being highly-valued. Hence she is a better option ahead of Amy Jones for your fantasy team.
Batter
Suzie Bates: Suzie Bates got off to a decent start in the previous game, but she couldn't convert it into a big score. The Kiwi batter is due for a big one at the top of the order and is surely one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Nat Sciver: Nat Sciver hasn't really fired in the series despite impressing with the ball in both games. Her batting returns haven't been great, but she is well and truly capable of overturning her fortunes in today's game. Given her all-round ability, she would be a great addition to your EN-W vs NZ-W Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Sophie Ecclestone: Sophie Ecclestone has been England's go-to bowler in the middle overs with a few wickets to her name as well. With spin likely to play a part in the middle overs yet again, Ecclestone is another one to watch out for in this game.
