One of the most crucial matches and the last of the Group B games before the knockout round has huge implications and a semifinal spot on the line for the defending champions, New Zealand. They take on the in-form England Women's side, who have already qualified for the semifinals, in match 28 of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026. The match will take place on Saturday, 27th June, at The Kia Oval in London, with a scheduled start time of 11:00 PM IST.
Just a month ago, these two teams squared off in a three-match T20I series, which England won comfortably 2-1. Now, they go head-to-head in completely different situations. England faces no pressure as they have already secured qualification.
Meanwhile, New Zealand's chances of qualification will heavily depend on the West Indies vs Ireland game; a win for the West Indies means New Zealand will be knocked out of the tournament, whereas a loss for the West Indies gives New Zealand a chance to qualify.

Before the tournament started, there were some doubts regarding the team combination, form, and intent of the England Women's side. However, they put all of that to rest with a dominant, unbeaten four-match run, topping Group B with four wins in a row—their latest victory coming against the West Indies Women by 38 runs.
The batters set the game up early on, scoring 186/7 with the bat. They were led by Danni Wyatt-Hodge with a 65-run knock at the top, while Alice Capsey steadied the innings in the middle overs with a 23-run, 28-ball knock. In the end, Heather Knight provided the finishing touches, smashing 43 runs off 26 balls and hitting 7 fours.
In the bowling department, the game was dominated by their spinners. The trio of Sophie Ecclestone (1/22), Charlotte Dean (2/31), and Linsey Smith (1/35) bowled exceptionally well, picking up key wickets and choking the run flow in the middle overs to restrict the West Indies to 148/5.
England has been completely unchallenged by any team so far, winning all of their matches comfortably. Even though Nat Sciver-Brunt is likely to miss the knockout stages of the tournament, England will look to stick with the same team combination and keep their unbeaten run going as they head into the semifinals.

The New Zealand Women haven't had the best of times in the World Cup so far. Their poor fielding proved to be really costly in their games against the West Indies, which they lost by 7 wickets, and against the Sri Lanka Women, which they lost by 5 wickets. Those defeats have now put them on the brink of elimination.
However, there is still hope for them, though their chances of qualification lie in the hands of the West Indies. If the West Indies win against Ireland, New Zealand will be out of the tournament. Even so, hope remains as they have regrouped well in their last two matches, securing wins over Ireland and the Scotland Women.
In their last match, New Zealand defeated the Scotland Women by six wickets, chasing down 132 runs in 18.4 overs. Izzy Sharp was the standout performer, making full use of her promotion to number 3 by scoring 62 runs off 43 balls. She was well supported by Brooke Halliday, who remained unbeaten on 41 runs off 38 balls.
With the ball, Amelia Kerr and Sophie Devine were the pick of the bowlers, taking three and two wickets respectively. If New Zealand fails to qualify, this will be the final T20I match for both Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates, two legends of women's cricket.

Toss Prediction: New Zealand Women to win the coin toss
England Women enter this contest as the favourites to win, they are one of the two unbeaten teams in the tournament and will look to keep that form going into the semi finals, with all the pressure on New Zealand to win they are under huge pressure and will likely fumble.
