White Ferns v Bangladesh: NZ Seek First Win at World Cup
New Zealand aims to secure their first win in the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup while Bangladesh seeks to extend their unbeaten run in the tournament.
- On October 10th, New Zealand Women's cricket team will seek its first World Cup win at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, kicking off at 3:00 PM IST against an upbeat Bangladesh Women's cricket team.
- Recent matches have exposed top-order fragility for New Zealand, with Suzie Bates dismissed for a duck and warm-up matches decided by DLS leaving the White Ferns short on momentum.
- The Tigresses have shown resilience in recent outings, bowling Pakistan out for 129 and posting 179 against England while securing regional wins over Sri Lanka and West Indies.
- To stay on course for the semis, the White Ferns need results as they can probably lose just one of their remaining five games, relying on Sophie Devine, Amelia Kerr and Lea Tahuhu.
- A few drops of rain fell and showers are forecast before the toss, yet Marufa Akter was seen bowling on Thursday, and the sides have met four times in ODIs with New Zealand leading 2-0, including the December 2022 series.
