Venue and Pitch

The pitch at the County Ground, New Road, Worcester is highly favourable for batters. It’s an excellent batting surface where batters thrive. The short boundaries further benefit them, and as a result, bowlers frequently struggle to maintain accuracy when bowling at this venue.

Match Prediction

The England Women have the momentum going into the second ODI in Worcester. However, New Zealand is an experienced side who can claw back to square the series. England can’t afford to become complacent if they intend to seal the series in the second ODI. England are favourites with 60% chance to win.
