It will be a virtual knockout with both teams having lost three matches apiece

Toss England Women opted to bowl vs New Zealand Women

In a match dubbed as the virtual knockout, England opted to bowl first with inclement weather around at the Eden Park in Auckland in the Women’s World Cup. The toss was delayed by 15 minutes due to rain earlier in the morning. The teams got their choice as New Zealand captain Sophie Devine said that they wanted to bat first. Both England and New Zealand fielded the same team from their previous games.

The game will be played on the same strip India and Australia played on Saturday and both Nasser Hussain and Ian Smith reckoned that the pitch still has lots of runs on it.
