ENG-W vs NZ-W Match Prediction — Who Will Win 3rd ODI? England Women vs New Zealand Women

England Women faced New Zealand Women in the third ODI of the New Zealand Women tour of England 2026 on May 16 at Sophia Gardens. The second ODI was abandoned due to rain, which means England currently lead the series 1-0 heading into the final match.

England Women cannot lose the series from this position, as even a defeat in this game would result in a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, New Zealand Women will look to level the series against a young England side that has several talented players but lacks experience.
