The fourth ODI between England Women (EN-W) and New Zealand Women (NZ-W) is set to take place at the County Ground in Derby on Thursday.
The White Ferns came up with a brilliant performance with the ball in the previous game to keep the series alive. New Zealand will be looking to level the series with another such performance, but they are in for a tough test in the form of England. With the likes of Katherine Brunt and Sophie Ecclestone itching to make amends, a cracking game beckons in Derby.

Match Details
EN-W vs NZ-W, 4th ODI

Pitch Report
The County Ground in Derby should have something in it for both the spinners and pacers. Movement off the surface should be available in abundance, keeping the batters on their toes. The batters will need to bide their time in the middle before going big, with wickets in hand being the key. Spin should play a big role in the second half of the game, which may force teams to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.
Today’s EN-W vs NZ-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Amy Jones: Amy Jones is yet to fire in the series, with the English wicketkeeper-batter failing to convert a start in the previous game. However, Jones is quite capable of getting a big one in the middle order and should ideally get the nod over Katey Martin, whose form has been dismal over the last year or so.
Batter
Suzie Bates: Suzie Bates has blown hot and cold on this tour, but a player of her class cannot be kept down for too long. The veteran batter's experience and ability to take on the bowlers early in the innings makes her a valuable asset to your EN-W vs NZ-W Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Sophie Devine: Another veteran in the White Ferns' set-up, Sophie Devine has been fairly consistent with the ball. However, she is also due for a big knock in the middle order for New Zealand, making her one to watch out for in this game.
Bowler
Sophie Ecclestone: Although England's premier spinner Sophie Ecclestone didn't pick up a wicket in the previous game she was consistent with her lines and lengths in the middle overs. Against a right-handed heavy New Zealand side, Ecclestone should find herself back amongst the wickets in today's game.
