Bangladesh vs New Zealand highlights, Women's World Cup 2025: New Zealand thrash Bangladesh by 100 runs

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, Women's World Cup 2025: Two matches into the Women’s World Cup, New Zealand find themselves on the back foot. Despite brilliant innings from captain Sophie Devine, they have yet to register a win, falling to both Australia and South Africa. Their slow start is compounded by a six-month gap since their last ODI, which has left rustiness creeping into both batting and bowling. In warm-up games, they also lost to India and India A, highlighting cracks in their preparation. Apart from Devine, who has contributed 42% of New Zealand’s runs so far, the rest of the batting line-up has struggled to find fluency, while the bowling attack has lacked sharpness. Fielding lapses were evident against South Africa, with seven misfields adding to a sense of undercooked performance.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, enter the contest with growing confidence. Having stunned Pakistan and challenged England, they are brimming with belief. While their batting has yet to fire consistently, the bowlers have been reliable. Marufa Akter has impressed with the new ball, and spinners Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan, and Nahida Akter have kept tight control in the middle overs. Bangladesh will be encouraged by spin-friendly conditions in Guwahati, where spinners have claimed 75% of wickets so far in the tournament. With only one left-hander in New Zealand’s order, Brooke Halliday, Bangladesh’s spin duo could test the Kiwis’ right-hand-heavy line-up.

New Zealand, on the other hand, have missed the runs of Suzie Bates at the top of the order, who has been dismissed for ducks in her last two innings. Amelia Kerr emphasised the need for discipline against spin and the importance of adapting quickly to conditions. Fast bowler Lea Tahuhu will celebrate her 100th ODI on Friday, adding an emotional edge to the match.

The probable teams see Bangladesh sticking to their winning combination, while New Zealand may bring in Rosemary Mair if she is fit, potentially replacing Jess Kerr. With spin expected to dominate and rain a possibility, the game promises a tactical battle. Bangladesh are yet to beat New Zealand in ODIs, but this encounter presents an opportunity to turn the tables under favourable conditions, while New Zealand look to steady their campaign and find the missing momentum.

Drinks! New Zealand Women are in a spot of bother here and they need a long partnership. The duo of Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday will look to build a gritty stand and post a good total. Bangladesh Women will look for wickets. Rabeya Khan has been excellent so far and they would want their other spinners to step up as well. Let's see how it pans out...

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, Women's World Cup 2025: New Zealand face an uphill battle in the Women’s World Cup after losing their first two matches to Australia and South Africa. Despite captain Sophie Devine’s impressive contributions, the team has struggled with inconsistent batting, ineffective bowling, and lapses in the field. The six-month break from ODIs and poor warm-up results against India and India A have left the side underprepared, with only Devine showing fluency at the crease. Suzie Bates, opening for New Zealand, has yet to find form, falling for ducks in consecutive matches.

Bangladesh enter the contest with confidence after a strong start, including a win over Pakistan and a tight contest against England. Their bowlers, led by Marufa Akter and supported by spinners Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, and Rabeya Khan, have performed well in spin-friendly conditions at Guwahati. The match offers Bangladesh a chance to beat New Zealand for the first time in ODIs, using their spin attack to exploit New Zealand’s largely right-handed line-up.

Key storylines include Lea Tahuhu playing her 100th ODI and New Zealand managing fitness concerns with Rosemary Mair. With spin dominating the tournament so far and rain a possibility, this match promises a tactical battle. New Zealand need to rediscover momentum, while Bangladesh aim to capitalise on favourable conditions and build on their early confidence.
