New Zealand Women vs Bangladesh Women T20I Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

New Zealand have completely dominated the proceedings against Bangladesh in the series so far. Suzie Bates and Maddy Green scored the fifties in the first ODI and the team would also expect contributions from Sophie Devine and Amelia Kerr to post a huge total. Jess Kerr starred with the ball as she picked four wickets conceding only 23 runs during his spell. Hayley Jensen went wicketless in the fixture but the team will expect her to continue her wicket-taking streak from the T20I series.

For Bangladesh, their batting hasn’t been able to come up with answers to the tough questions posed by opposition bowlers. They were once again bundled out in the series leaving the hosts with an easy chase of 181 in the first ODI. Nigar Sultana scored a half-century for the side and she has been the key batter for the team throughout the tour. Bangladesh managed to cross the 100-run mark in the T20I series only once when she played a vital knock of 31 runs. However, the team will need other batters to step up and pile up some runs for the team’s cause in the second ODI of the series.
