Bangladesh Women vs New Zealand Women Team Preview & Squads
Bangladesh Women
Nigar Sultana, the wicketkeeper-captain, has been the heartbeat of BAN batting order. Her calm temperament and sharp leadership have kept the team competitive even against stronger opponents. With a couple of gritty innings already this tournament, she’ll be key to anchoring their batting.
BAN batting has relied heavily on the experienced trio—Fargana Hoque, Nigar Sultana, and Sobhana Mostary. However, the middle order has struggled to convert starts into substantial totals. Their success against New Zealand will depend on partnerships that stretch into the final 15 overs.
The bowling attack remains Bangladesh’s strength, led by the pace of Marufa Akter and the spin variety of Nahida Akter and Rabeya Khan. They’ve consistently troubled batters with tight lines and slower variations. If they can control the powerplay overs, Bangladesh can restrict New Zealand to a chaseable total.
In their previous outing against England Women, Bangladesh posted 178 after some resistance from Fargana Hoque and Nigar Sultana. The bowlers fought bravely, with Nahida Akter taking crucial wickets early on. However, England’s experience helped them chase down the target in 46.1 overs. Despite the 4-wicket loss, Bangladesh’s effort showed promise for the upcoming clash.

New Zealand Women
Sophie Devine remains one of the most explosive all-rounders in world cricket. Her leadership is grounded in aggressive intent and tactical awareness. After a quiet start to the tournament, she’ll be looking to lead from the front with both bat and ball against Bangladesh.
The NZ have a formidable batting lineup with Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, and Maddy Green capable of dominating any attack. However, their recent middle-order collapses have cost them momentum in key moments. A solid start will be crucial to avoid repeating those errors.
With Jess Kerr and Rosemary Mair leading the pace unit and Amelia Kerr’s leg-spin offering control, New Zealand possesses a balanced bowling setup. They can exploit early swing and maintain pressure through the middle overs. Consistency in their bowling lengths will determine how well they contain Bangladesh’s batters.
NZ Women scored 231 against South Africa in Indore, with Amelia Kerr once again starring with the bat. However, their bowlers couldn’t defend the total as South Africa chased it down comfortably in 40.5 overs. Despite flashes of brilliance, the Kiwis’ inability to sustain pressure cost them dearly. They’ll now be eager to fix those gaps in Guwahati.
