New Zealand will take on Bangladesh on Friday, October 10, in the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup 2025 tournament. The White Ferns are coming off two successive losses against Australia and South Africa, while Bangladesh has won one game against Pakistan and lost another close match against four-time World Cup champions England. New Zealand can ill afford to take Bangladesh lightly, as they almost pulled off an epic win against England.
The Women in Green have shown exemplary form with the ball in hand, with pacer Marufa Akhter being the standout bowler. She has managed to dislodge some of the best batters in the game with massive in-swing. The 20-year-old has given the team crucial breakthroughs in the power play, which has dented the opposition's run-scoring. The White Ferns batters need to find ways to tackle her.

NZ-W vs BAN-W: Match Preview
New Zealand have looked patchy with the bat in hand, with only their skipper Sophie Devine being the standout batter. In the two matches against Australia and South Africa, the 36-year-old has displayed grit, determination, and character, but alas, has found no support from the other end. Her partner-in-crime, Suzie Bates, has been dismissed cheaply in consecutive matches, which has resulted in top-order failure.
Devine would expect more runs from New Zealand's leading run-scorer in the coming games, as they cannot afford any more slip-ups. In bowling, Amelia Kerr is yet to hit her straps and turn the match on with her decisive spell in the middle overs. Against Bangladesh, it is a perfect opportunity for the leggie to make the ball talk.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh have managed to bowl well, but have not been best with the bat in hand. Skipper Niger Sultana Joty has not been amongst the runs, and that has hurt the team to press the accelerator. The keeper-batter is the anchor of the batting unit and is their key player. If Bangladesh manages to play well against New Zealand, then they will fancy their chances of going deep in the World Cup.
