Bottom-placed New Zealand will meet Bangladesh in Cape Town as both teams aim to stay alive in the tournament on Friday afternoon. Bangladesh Women have been beaten by Australia Women and Sri Lanka Women with New Zealand suffering heavy defeats to Australia Women and South Africa Women. With a talented bowling attack and plenty of experience in their batting line-up, New Zealand Women have massively underperformed in this competition. They have an excellent record over Bangladesh Women. Bangladesh Women have lost both games but have not embarrassed themselves in either contest. Against a low on confident New Zealand Women side they will think they have a chance.

Topmost Picks for NZ-W vs BAN-W Dream11 Prediction, 12th Match:

Top Picks – New Zealand-W

• Lea Tahuhu– Although it has been a very disappointing start to the tournament for her team, the right-arm medium-fast bowler has impressed by picking up five wickets already.

• Sophie Devine – The captain dropped down the order to number five and top scored in the heavy defeat to South Africa Women. We expect to see her back at the top of the order in this match.

Top Picks – Bangladesh-W

• Nigar Sultana – The skipper has scored 85 runs so far in the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup. She hit seven fours and a six in Match 8.

NZ-W vs BAN-W 12th Match Probable Winners:

Neither team have anything to lose in this game and know that they must win to give themselves any chance of finishing in the top two of Group 1 and progressing to the semi-final. With the exception of Marufa Akter and Nigar Sultana, Bangladesh Women’s players have looked under the required level in the competition. Although New Zealand Women have also been poor, their players have stronger records. After four ducks for their openers from their first two games, we expect New Zealand Women’s top order to deliver some good scores in this match. Considering the team combination, New Zealand-W is expected to win this match.
