T20 World Cup Match 13: BD-W vs NZ-W Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | BD-W vs NZ-W Dream11 Prediction Today | Junction Oval Pitch Report | Bangladesh Women vs New Zealand Women Dream11 | BD-W vs NZ-W Key Players

Amelia Kerr’s incredible innings against India had taken her team so close to qualification for the Semi Finals.

Hope grew with every terrific shot. Nerves grew for India and Australia in Group A. New Zealand had the chance to make it two from two and all-but-confirm their passage through to the final four.

Instead, Amelia Kerr was left close to tears after a three-run defeat that means Australia and New Zealand will likely fight it out in a virtual Quarter Final on Monday. However, standing in the way is Bangladesh, who, despite having two defeats so far, should not be taken lightly.

The White Ferns need to keep their focus, and do all the little things right in the tournament’s first morning/lunch time game. But, can Bangladesh cause them a few issues and bring out some nerves?

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

• Sophie Devine’s dismissal for 14 vs India was a shock to everyone. Her recent form has been incredible, with scores of 54*, 61, 77, 105 and 75 in T20Is before the India game.
• Suzie Bates came into the T20 World Cup in good form. However, she has scored just 13 and 6 so far – is this the game she fires?
• Nigar Sultana has been Bangladesh’s best batter over the past two years, but she has shown only some of that form in this tournament so far (35 off 26 vs 19 off 32).
• Can Fargana Hoque, Bangladesh’s highest ever T20I run-scorer (985), build on her attractive 36 (35) vs Australia?
• Maddy Green so far in the 2020 T20 World Cup: 29 (20) and 24 (23). If she gets the chance, can she build on her starts?
• Amelia Kerr was outstanding vs India. Her 2/21 and 34* (19) kept the White Ferns right in the game.
• Rumana Ahmed and Jahanara Alam have 55 wickets each for Bangladesh. However, they are wicketless so far in World T20 2020, so a step up is needed.
• Hayley Jensen (3/16) was Player of the Match vs Sri Lanka earlier in this tournament.

Stats and Facts

• Bangladesh and New Zealand have never played a T20I against each other.
• New Zealand will go level with Australia with a win here, with a virtual Quarter Final to be played on Monday.
• Lee Tahuhu needs two wickets to reach 50 in T20Is.
• Fargana Hoque needs 15 runs to reach 1,000 in T20Is.

Match Prediction

Bangladesh’s lack of cricket in the lead up to the T20 World Cup is showing. New Zealand’s should prevail in this one, thanks to a strong mix of young talent and great experience.
