The match is set to take place at Basin Reserve in Wellington. Over the years, the matches here have been high-scoring, particularly in men’s cricket. However, in the women’s games, it has turned out be balanced ones. The wicket has something in it for the pacers. The spinners need to be accurate and force the batters to make mistakes. Batting first would be a good option, as the wicket is likely to slow down with the progression of the match.
