New Zealand Women (NZ W) will take on Bangladesh Women (BAN W) in Match No. 11 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 on October 10, 2025, at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.

The Sophie Devine-led team hasn't had the best of starts to their campaign. Despite having a strong squad, New Zealand is holding the seventh position in the points tally, after registering back-to-back losses. With defeats to Australia (by 89 runs) and South Africa (by six wickets), the team is under immense pressure and will look to record its first win of the competition.

On the other hand, Bangladesh is also coming off back-to-back defeats and languishing at the bottom of the table. The Nigar Sultana-led team needs to quickly regroup to identify their concerns and make a new strategy going forward.

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is renowned for being a batting-friendly surface. The pitch generally offers good bounce and carry, allowing batters to play their shots with confidence, particularly in the early stages of the innings. Fast bowlers may also find some assistance upfront due to the pace on offer. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down slightly, bringing spinners into play, though it largely remains favourable for batting throughout the contest.

New Zealand's skipper Sophie Devine could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Bangladesh. The right-handed batter is currently leading the run-scoring charts, after amassing 197 runs in two innings at an average of 98.50. With scores of 112 and 85 under her belt, Devine will look to continue her fine form in this upcoming game.

Bangladeshi spinner Fahima Khatun has been the standout bowler for the team in this competition so far. In two games, the spinner has bagged four wickets at an average of 12.00 and an economy of 2.82. With the tracking having some assistance for the spinners, Khatun will look to make the most of it and pick important wickets.
