What is the pitch report for NZ-W vs BD-W, 1st T20I?

The grass on the surface will definitely help the seamers for sure. The batters can score runs freely once they are fully set. Both side doesn’t know what’s the winning score here hence bowling first makes sense.

Pre-Match Analysis:

New Zealand Women will look to make the most of the unsettled Bangladesh Women in this series. Interestingly this is the first bilateral series between the sides. The only time they faced each other was in the Women’s T20 World Cup in 2020 where the White Ferns came out on top by 17 runs. White Ferns clinched their previous T20I series against West Indies by a 4-1 margin and are going with almost the same squad for this home series. Jessica McFadyen will replace Izzy Gaze in the squad. Key players Sophie Devine, Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, Maddy Green, and Jess Kerr are fresh off from the WBBL and look to give their best for the country.

Bangladesh Women didn’t have a great year in the T20Is as they were knocked out in the Women’s Asia Cup in league stages. It’s going to be a challenging tour for them as they don’t have prior experience playing in New Zealand conditions. Rabeya Khatun, Disha Biswas, Marufa Akter, and Dilara Akhter are the four uncapped players in the squad. Nigar Sultana will captain the side on this tour. They are ranked 9th in the ICC Women’s T20I rankings.
