Pre-Match Analysis:

New Zealand Women failed utterly with the bat in the last 2 matches against Australia and South Africa as they bowled by for just 76 and 67 runs respectively. They made too many changes in the batting order which didn’t work against the hosts South Africa. Experienced Suzie Bates bagged back-to-back ducks which turned out to be a huge blow for them. Premier players Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr are yet to discover their form with the bat in this competition. Lea Tahuhu is getting wickets at the right interval which is the only positive for them. Their knockout qualification is in extreme danger and they must win their remaining 2 matches to stay alive in this tournament.

Bangladesh Women aren’t doing well either in this tournament as they were outplayed by Sri Lanka and Australia by 8 wickets and 7 wickets respectively. Skipper Nigar Sultana is the only batter who showed up on both occasions adding 85 runs. Marufa Akter conceded less than 6 runs an over and picked up 4 wickets in the last 2 outings. Apart from these two none of the others didn’t make many contributions. They have talent and all they need to do is express themselves on the field. It’s a do-or-die game for them to remain in the contest.
