New Zealand Women secured a convincing 100-run win against Bangladesh Women in Match 11 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. New Zealand batted first after winning the toss and put a good score of 227/9 on the board in their 50 overs. Skipper Sophie Devine (63 runs) and Brooke Halliday (69 runs) played their part, sharing a vital 112-run partnership to salvage the innings after early deterioration reduced New Zealand to 38/3. Rabeya Khan was the Bangladeshi bowlers' choice, with 3/30.

In reply, Bangladesh-W also struggled miserably in their pursuit of 228, being finally bowled out for 127 in 39.5 overs. Only three Bangladeshi players scored above double figures, with Fahima Khatun (34 runs) and Rabeya Khan (25 runs) showing some resistance in a losing cause. New Zealand bowlers stood out in a wonderful performance, led by Jess Kerr and Lea Tahuhu, who each claimed three wickets, providing a one-sided victory for their team.

NZ-W vs BAN-W: Who said what?

Brooke Halliday (Player of the Match):

"I guess the biggest thing after the couple of days was being okay with getting ones and being okay with being boring. We knew the plan, bat long till the 40th over and then have the party time. It’s easy to bat with Sophie; she keeps it simple, and that helps me. What we did well today was keep things simple with the ball, and it worked for us."

Nigar Sultana (Bangladesh Captain):

"We bowled well early on but couldn’t maintain consistency with the bat. After 40 overs, we leaked too many boundaries, and that cost us. The lower middle order is trying hard, but we need more from the top batters. Hopefully, the bowlers continue this form, and our batting unit steps up in the next game."

Sophie Devine (New Zealand Captain):

"Really pleasing for this side to get on the board. Conditions were tough, but Brooke and I accepted that it wouldn’t be easy. Mair and Lea were exceptional with the ball, attacking the stumps and keeping pressure on. Every point is gold in this tournament, so we’ll take each game as it comes."

In the series decider of the three-match WODI series between India Women and New Zealand Women, Brooke Halliday’s fighting innings rescued the visitors as they set a challenging target for the hosts India Women. 

At the level position of the series (1-1), New Zealand Women captain Sophie Devine chose to bat first at Ahmedabad. The visitors scored 232 all out in 49.5 overs. 

Top batters lost wickets cheaply

Three of the first four batters were dismissed cheaply as New Zealand Women were battling at 39/3 in the 11th over. Opener Suzie Bates (4), Lauren Down (1), and skipper Devine (9) failed to reach the double-digit scores. 

Plimmer and Halliday handled the early pressure

In-form opener Georgia Plimmer then set up a 30-run partnership for the fourth wicket. After Plimmer was dismissed by Priya Mishra, Maddy Green (15) lost her wicket cheaply through a run-out. 

Halliday inspired the White Ferns

For the sixth wicket, Halliday had a crucial 64-run partnership with the wicketkeeper-batter Isabella Gaze. Deepti Sharma’s caught and bowled sent Gaze (25) back to the pavilion, while Plimmer scored a 72-ball 50. 

With Hannah Rowe, Halliday secured another crucial 47-run partnership for the seventh wicket. After her half-century, the left-handed middle-order batter scored aggressively. With the help of nine fours and three sixes, Halliday scored 86 off 96 balls before Deepti Sharma dismissed her.

Lea Tahuhu had a useful cameo with 24 not out in 14 balls with two fours and one six.

Among the Indian bowlers, Deepti Sharma (3/39) took three wickets, while Priya Mishra (2/41) got two wickets. Also, Renuka Singh (1/49) and Saima Thakor (1/44) picked up one wicket each.
