  • The poor form of New Zealand batters is the main reason behind the team’s poor run in the competition.
  • Bangladesh also need to look at their strategize with the bat to end the dry spell in the World Cup. 
  • New Zealand Women enjoy an edge over Bangladesh Women in the head-to-head records as they won the last four games between the two teams.

New Zealand Women and Bangladesh Women will be fighting with each other on Friday, February 17 to end their lean patch in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 and score their first win. The bottom-placed teams of Group A will be playing against each other at the Newlands in Cape Town. Both New Zealand Women and Bangladesh Women are finding it hard to adapt to the playing conditions in South Africa as they are yet to open their account in the points table. 

The Blackcaps Women entered the T20 World Cup with high spirits as they were being touted as one of the favorites to win the trophy.

None of the New Zealand batters have impressed in the T20 World Cup so far. However, if there is one player who can change things for the Kiwis, it has to be Suzie Bates. The opening batter has a tremendous experience in international cricket and she is one of the most talented players in her team. In her international career of over a decade, the 35-year-old has represented New Zealand in 139 T20 Internationals. She has accumulated 3635 runs at an average of 28.85 and a strike rate of 109.19. Bates has not shown any character in the tournament so far as she was dismissed for a duck in the two games against Australia Women and South Africa Women.

The middle-order batter Nigar Sultana will have the responsibility of scoring runs for Bangladesh Women on Friday and taking them to their win in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023. Bangladesh batters underperformed in their last game against Australia Women by scoring only 107 runs. Amidst all the poor performances, Sultana was the only positive for the team. The skipper led from the front with a knock of 57 runs off 50 balls, including seven boundaries and one maximum at a strike rate of 114. Moreover, she has a good international record under her belt, with 1310 runs in 71 T20 Internationals at an average of over 25. We are backing the 25-year-old to do well on Friday and be the top batter for the Tigers Women.
