Bangladesh National Cricket Team Vs New Zealand National Cricket Team Match Scorecard

New Zealand kept Bangladesh fighting hard for their inaugural Women’s World Cup victory as Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday ran amok at Barsapara Cricket Stadium.

Rabeya caught Maddy Green out quickly before dismissing Jess Kerr with the next delivery, as reflected in the Bangladesh National Cricket Team Vs New Zealand National Cricket Team Match Scorecard, while Bangladesh struggled in pursuit of 228 runs to keep their victory hopes alive.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand

New Zealand would need a win against Bangladesh to regain the hunt for semi-final place at the Women’s World Cup, yet they should expect it to be tough against a Tigers side including Tamim Iqbal who hit 61 against England and 128 against Australia respectively in their previous matchups.

Iqbal will pose a threat to New Zealand as their bowling units struggled in previous matches against India and England. But they still possess a powerful squad with Tim Southee and Jess Kerr being among their ranks; she achieved great success against Sri Lanka by taking three wickets herself!

New Zealand made an auspicious start, with Suzie Bates and Sophie Devine bating sensibly, opting for singles rather than going after big scores.

However, they quickly fell to 38/3 when Bates was run out due to an accident with Kerr (29 runs) before Nahida Akter and Rabeya Khan made a valiant comeback effort that eventually was ended when Lea Tahuhu dismisses both players in one over.

Bangladesh’s pursuit never got going, as they lost wickets regularly. Rosemary Mair broke up their seventh-wicket partnership by having Sakina Akter caught at mid-off by Eden Carson; Nahida soon retired for 34 while Fahima Khatun was caught at wicket for 25.

The Black Caps have lost two of their initial three matches and need a win against Bangladesh to prevent an early exit from this tournament. But beating Bangladesh won’t be easy as their hosts have looked in good form thus far, boasting players like Tamim Iqbal and Sabbir Rahman but needing to significantly step up their batting game to progress further.

Much will depend on whether Iqbal can receive sufficient support at the top of his order from his teammates while making their earliest quarter-finals appearance possible.
