Pitch Report: New Zealand Women vs Bangladesh Women: 5th Match

Pitch Report:  The pitch at the University Oval is an excellent one for batting. Bowlers may not have much room for error. A fairly high-scoring game seems to be on the cards. Winning the toss and fielding first should be the way forward for teams. We expect a par score to be no higher than 220.

Team News : Match 5

New Zealand Women:

In spite of being one of the favorites of the tournament, New Zealand Women faced defeat by just 3 runs in their opening clash against West Indies Women. However, they have something positive also to take away from the game. Skipper Sophie Devine smashed a hundred while chasing 260 runs against the Windies' side. In the bowling department, Lea Tahuhu took three wickets while Jess Kerr took two.

The White ferns will need to come back in this game and will definitely look forward to winning this game.

Bangladesh Women:

On the other hand, Bangladesh Women also lost their previous game against South Africa Women by 32 runs. They bowled well in the first innings to restrict Africa within 205 in 50 overs. However, they couldn't get over the line in the second innings as they finished their inning on 175 runs.

It will be a tough challenge for the Tigress to snatch a win from a strong side like New Zealand.
