The much-awaited women’s One Day International (ODI) series between New Zealand and Australia is set to begin at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on December 18, 2024. This match marks the first ODI encounter between these two teams since March 2022.

New Zealand’s women’s cricket team enters this series with hopes of breaking their 13-match losing streak against Australia. In their past two ODI series, New Zealand faced defeats against India and England. Key players such as Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday are expected to make significant contributions with the bat, while Jess Kerr and Amelia Kerr will be crucial in the bowling department.

In contrast, Australia’s women’s team is on a strong run, having recently won 3-0 against India, continuing an unbeaten streak of seven matches. Australia has dominated the 2024 ODI circuit, with nine wins out of ten games and an impressive record of 15 wins in their last 16 outings. Australia has also maintained a winning streak against New Zealand since February 2017, having won 13 straight ODIs.

The first match of the series is scheduled for December 19, 2024, and it will commence at 3:30 AM Indian Standard Time (IST). Fans in India can watch the match live on the SonyLIV app and website, as well as on Sony Sports Network channels on television. In New Zealand, the game will be broadcasted on Sky Sports and TVNZ+. Meanwhile, Australian viewers can tune in to Fox Cricket for live coverage and streaming will be available on Kayo Sports.
