Suzie Bates, who already started the series on a flying note with her second World Cup century, has further reasons to celebrate. Suzie, who began her cricketing career at the age of 18 against India at Lincoln, will become the 8th New Zealand cricketer to complete 100 ODIs. Along with her, Amy Satterthwaite also started off the tournament on bright note with a fifty. However, the youngster Amelia Kerr is slowly building her name and making the opportunity count. She was the one who broke the growing partnership between Chamari Atapattu and Chamari Polgampola in the first match of the tournament. Along with her, Holly Huddleston grabbed the eyeball with her maiden World Cup 5-for. With a strong team in place, the White Ferns will hope to continue the momentum against stiff competitors like South Africa.

The Protea women, on the other hand, had shaky start to the year. They ended up as runners-up against India on two occasions – in the final of World Cup Qualifiers and final of the quadrangular series at home. However, South Africa would want to avoid another last-minute thriller as seen against Pakistan. Their power-packed openers like Lizelle Lee and Laura Wolvaardt along with all-rounder Shabnim Ismil as well Ayabonga Khaka and Moseline Daniels will look to maintain their consistency against the big three teams – New Zealand, England and West Indies this week.
