New Zealand Women vs Bangladesh Women Match Prediction, ICC WT20 World Cup
New Zealand need to beat Bangladesh when they meet in Group A at the Junction Oval, St Kilda, Melbourne. The match takes place on February 29 and the live action gets underway at 11:00 local time.
New Zealand started with a seven-wicket win against Sri Lanka, as Sophie Devine hit an unbeaten 75 from 55 balls. Her sublime batting form finally ran out last time, however, as New Zealand lost by three runs against India. The result leaves themselves and Australia scrapping for the final semi-final place alongside the Indians.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, have lost both matches they have played so far. They suffered an 18-run loss to India but were completely outplayed in an 86-run defeat to Australia last time out.

NZW Team News
Rosemary Mair replaced Jess Kerr last time out, in the only change from the win against Sri Lanka first up. New Zealand’s starting line-up seemed to settle nicely in their warm-up WT20 World Cup series and there are unlucky to be radical changes despite defeat last time out.
NZW Key Players
Sophie Devine: Three half-centuries and a century against South Africa, followed by her unbeaten 75 in the first game has seen the all-rounder soar up the world rankings.
Amelia Kerr: Two wickets in each of the first two matches with her spin bowling, while she smashed 34* from 19 balls to nearly pull off a late comeback win against India too.
Leigh Kasperek: Took 1-19 last time out to move to 61 T20i wickets and put the brakes on the Indian charge.
NZW Team Form
Sophie Devine’s stunning batting form continued in the opening game when she hit 75* to lead New Zealand to 131/3 and a seven-wicket win against Sri Lanka. They suffered a narrow defeat to India last time out, however – chasing 134 to win, Devine finally suffered a poor innings as New Zealand could only reach 130/6 despite Amelia Kerr’s late 34* from 19 balls.

BAN Women Team News & Playing 11
BANW Team News
Khadija Tul Kubra replaced Panna Ghosh last time out but was wicketless and expensive from her two overs. The question now is whether to hand her another chance, recall Ghosh or both.
BANW Key Players
Jahanara Alam: Expensive last time out, but her form in 2019 showed what she can offer with the ball.
Nigar Sultana: Top-scored in the opening game but lacked fluency when she scored 19 last time out. Nevertheless, her batting form is excellent.
Salma Khatun: Took 2-25 from four overs in the opening game and the captain took the only Australian wicket to fall last time out too.
BANW Team Form
Bangladesh lost to India in their opening game. Salma Khatun and Panna Ghosh took 2-25 each but Bangladesh could only reach 124/8 in reply to 142/6.
They were well short against Australia last time out, however. Set 190 to win, they struggled to just 103/9 in reply.
BAN Women Predicted Playing 11
Nigar Sultana (wk), Murshida Khatun, Shamima Sultana, Sanjida Islam, Fargana Hoque, Rumana Ahmed, Jahanara Alam, Salma Khatun (c), Khadija Tul Kubra, Panna Ghosh, Nahida Akter
