New Zealand Women Team Form
The New Zealand women's team was in excellent form, having won their last five Twenty20 games which also included a three-match series with Bangladesh itself. In their World Cup warm-up match, they achieved a remarkable victory over Sri Lanka Women. However, their downfall in the tournament has been very much criticised, especially the below par performance from their batting line-up which has been impressive in the last few series.
Their batting lineup is spearheaded by captain Sophie Devine, and they boast a strong bowling attack featuring players such as Leigh Kasperek and Amelia Kerr. This combination of strengths will undoubtedly boost the team's confidence and momentum heading into the upcoming league match, and all these players will play a crucial role in New Zealand's success.
