NZ-W vs BAN-W Match Prediction: Match 11, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report & More – ICC Women’s World Cup 2025

NZ-W vs BAN-W: The next game in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will see a face-off between New Zealand Women and Bangladesh Women. This match will be played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, on Friday (October 10) at 3 PM IST. Both teams need this win, as they have lost their last respective games.

New Zealand Women Preview 

The 2000 champion New Zealand Women have found it hard to get going, as they have lost two consecutive games of their campaigns. Now, they have to win all their remaining matches to have a clear qualification to the semis. So, they will be eager to get a win here.

• Key Batter: Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr will be the two batters who can play match-winning innings.
• Captaincy: Captain Devine has shown incredible form in two games. She has scored 112 and 85 runs in two innings and is doing all things right.
• Batting Strength: The batting has failed for New Zealand in both innings. They have managed scores around 230-245, which is not sufficient now. So, they need to work on their batting a bit.
• Bowling Attack: The bowlers for New Zealand have still done well. Amelia and Jess Kerr and then Leu Tahuhu have done well, and it is a good all-round bowling unit.

Bangladesh Women Preview 

To be frank, Bangladesh women have certainly surprised many in the first two games. They beat Pakistan with ease and then put the four-time champion England Women under pressure. But the inexperience of performing under pressure cost them a win against England.

• Batting: The batting has been a big worry for Bangladesh. They don’t have power hitters like other teams. Their batters have limited range for shot-making, which has been exposed by the other teams.
• Bowling: The bowling has been incredible for Bangladesh. They have bowled well, and they are using the conditions brilliantly. They will be confident in their bowling skills here.

Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati Pitch and Weather Report

In three matches played in Guwahati, the average score in the first inning has been around 170-180, which shows how good this pitch has been for the bowlers. The rain and overcast conditions have also played their part. Fast bowlers are getting initial movement, and spinners are using the dampness of the surface, and the outfield is also slow. We might see another bowlers-dominated game here.

The weather for the upcoming game on Friday in Guwahati shows chances of thunderstorms with rain. The temperature is predicted to reach up to 30°C with 4 kmph wind speed.

• Amelia Kerr (NZ-W): Amelia Kerr is a smart operator in the middle. She knows the length and is using the crease well.

NZ-W vs BAN-W Match Prediction – Who Will Win? 

Bangladesh women have been brilliant with the ball in two games. But the concern for them is their batting. Only one batter has scored more than 50 runs for them in two games. Though New Zealand are also struggling with the bat but they have a better all-round team. Hence, they are expected to beat Bangladesh Women.
