EN-W vs NZ-W Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for 5th ODI
The fifth ODI between England Women (EN-W) and New Zealand Women (NZ-W) is set to take place at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury on Sunday.
The English got past the White Ferns in a thrilling encounter in Bristol last time around to seal a series win. England will be looking to end the summer on a high with another good performance, but the White Ferns have been brilliant themselves in this series. With both teams looking well-matched on paper, an exciting game beckons in Canterbury.

EN-W vs NZ-W, 5th ODI
Date and Time: 26th September, 2021, 3:30 PM IST
Venue: St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury
Pitch Report
The pitch at the St Lawrence Ground is expected to favor the pacers in what should be a good contest between bat and ball. The batters will be wary of early movement against the new ball. Wickets in hand will be key towards the backend of the innings, with spin also likely to trouble them in the middle overs. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 240 being a good total at this venue.
Today’s EN-W vs NZ-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Amy Jones: Amy Jones found some form in the previous game with a well-compiled 63-ball 40 in the middle order. With the confidence of some runs behind her, Jones is surely one to watch out for in this game.
Batter
Suzie Bates: Suzie Bates is yet to fire in the series with just 51 runs to her name. The veteran opener is one of New Zealand's best batters and is due for a big knock in this series decider on Sunday.
All-rounder
Sophie Devine: Although White Ferns star Sophie Devine has done well with bat and ball, she is yet to come up with a match-winning performance in the series. She has impressed in patches and could be in for a big outing, making her a must-have in your EN-W vs NZ-W Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Charlotte Dean: The breakout star for England in this series has undoubtedly been Charlotte Dean. The office has picked up nine wickets in four games and currently tops the wicket-taking charts for this series. With form on her side, Dean could be backed to pick up a wicket or two in the middle overs for England in this game.
