NZ-W vs ZIM-W Dream11 Prediction

The 1st ODI between New Zealand Women and Zimbabwe Women will be played on March 5 at University Oval, Dunedin. The hosts have been dominant so far in this multi-format series, beating the visitors 3-0 in the T20Is and bowling them out for under 100 runs in two matches.

New Zealand Women will be playing their first one-day international since their last appearance in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025, where they finished in the seventh position. On the other hand, Zimbabwe Women have won two of their last five matches.

All-rounder Amelia Kerr, New Zealand's captain, has an excellent record in the ODI format and is among the best women cricketers going around. She scored 2304 runs at an average of 41.4 and also picked up 106 wickets in 84 ODI matches.

In the bowling department, Jess Kerr is the key wicket-taker for New Zealand Women, taking 60 wickets in 46 matches. Their consistency and all-round impact makes them strong captaincy picks in the NZ-W vs ZIM-W Dream11 team prediction.
