New Zealand Women will lock horns with Bangladesh Women in the 12th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. The Group A clash will be held at Newlands in Cape Town.
New Zealand Women haven’t had the best of starts at the T20 World Cup 2023. They have lost both the games they have played so far. After losing to Australia Women in their opening game, they went down against South Africa Women in their next.
Eden Carson and Lea Tahuhu picked up two wickets each to restrict South Africa Women to 132. The batters then faltered in the chase and were bundled out on 67 to lose the game by 65 runs.
Bangladesh Women are also struggling in this edition of the T20 World Cup. They have suffered heavy defeats against Sri Lanka Women and Australia Women in their two outings so far.
Batting first, skipper Nigar Sultana scored 57 against the Aussies, but lacked support from the other end as they finished their innings on 107/7. The bowlers tried hard but couldn’t pick up regular wickets as the team succumbed to an eight-wicket defeat.
