England vs New Zealand women: Recent form

The two sides played each other as recently as March-April this year, when England toured New Zealand. On that tour, the visitors dominated the T20I series, winning 4-1 before going on to win the ODI series 2-1. In May, England hosted Pakistan, beating them 3-0 in the T20Is and 2-0 in the ODIs, with one washout in Taunton.

Now, New Zealand will be looking to hit back while England will want to continue their good form at home. The tourists announced their squads for both formats on June 5, with two significant returns; batter Lauren Down is back for the ODI series after giving birth to her first child. Mikaela Greig was also named in the squad for both formats, after she was called up to play just the first T20I against England at home.

England's squad for the ODIs was announced last week, and the hosts went with the same group of players that trounced Pakistan. Sophia Dunkley earned a recall on the back of some excellent domestic performances after being dropped for the initial matches of the Pakistan series.

On Thursday, they named their squad for the T20Is. Once again, the squad is identical to the Pakistan series, but for the return of Dunkley. In addition, Freya Kemp is set to start bowling again, after playing only as a batter against Pakistan. A significant miss is left-arm pacer Mahika Gaur, ruled out due to a side strain.
