India Women (IN-W) will host New Zealand Women (NZ-W) in the first ODI of their three-match series at Ahmedabad’s iconic Narendra Modi Stadium on October 24. The match marks the first ODI meeting between the two teams in more than two years. The action is slated to commence from 1:30 PM IST onwards.

Ahead of this game, here is a look at the Dream11 predictions, the fantasy cricket tips, the pitch report and the best predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

IN-W vs NZ-W 1st ODI Preview

The series against New Zealand marks India’s first ODI assignment since the three-match home series against South Africa back in June this year. Team India won that series by a 3-0 margin to make amends for the 0-3 drubbing they suffered at the hands of Australia back in January. In the past five ODI meetings between India and New Zealand, the ‘Women in Blue’ have managed to secure just a solitary win.

For India, vice-captain Smriti Mandhana and middle-order star Jemimah Rodrigues have emerged as two of the most prolific ODI run-makers off late. With the ball, spinner Deepti Sharma and new ball operator Renuka Singh will hold key to India’s success.

The New Zealand women's team will enter India series on the heels of back-to-back series defeats against England, both home and away this year. However, the ‘White Ferns’ did earn significant white-ball success, albeit in the T20I format during this month’s T20 World Cup in the UAE.

All-rounder Amelia Kerr will start out as one of the primary players from either side in the series, owing to her prolific form off late. Senior batter Suzie Bates has mounted big runs for New Zealand, while Lea Tahuhu has taken the highest number of wickets for her country in their past five matches.
