NZW vs BANW Match Prediction & Analysis
New Zealand Women and Bangladesh Women will meet in the fourth warm-up match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 at Haslegrave Ground, Loughborough.
The White Ferns will use this fixture to fine-tune their preparations ahead of their title defence. New Zealand lifted the ICC Women's T20 World Cup in 2024 and continue to possess one of the most balanced squads in world cricket, led by captain Amelia Kerr.
Bangladesh Women, meanwhile, will be looking to build confidence after a difficult run in bilateral cricket. Despite their recent struggles, they have several experienced players including Nigar Sultana Joty, Nahida Akter and Ritu Moni capable of challenging stronger opponents.
While warm-up matches are primarily about combinations and momentum, New Zealand will be eager to continue their dominance over Bangladesh in this format.

TEAMS PREVIEW
New Zealand Women Preview
he New Zealand Women enter the tournament with a strong and experienced squad, led by one of the world's premier all-rounders, Amelia Kerr. The White Ferns recently toured England, where they lost the T20I series 2-1.
Despite the result, they remained competitive throughout and will view these warm-up fixtures as an ideal opportunity to regain momentum. Veteran opener Suzie Bates remains the cornerstone of New Zealand's batting lineup. The former captain has scored 4,720 runs in 183 WT20Is at an average of 28.78, including one century and 28 half-centuries.
Captain Amelia Kerr has firmly established herself among the best all-rounders in women's cricket. She has accumulated 1,925 WT20I runs at an average of 31.55, with two centuries and seven fifties, and has also picked up 106 wickets with the ball—though her recent performance in England is not promising.
Sophie Devine and Maddy Green bailed out the White Ferns in the series against England. These two batters can clear the rope with ease and strike at 120–130 in the middle overs. If Brooke Halliday also gets going, New Zealand could well post a huge score on the board.
In the pace bowling department, Bree Illing has been the most impressive. She brings a left-arm angle and bowls economical spells in the powerplay overs, while Jess Kerr, Rosemary Mair, and Lea Tahuhu serve as the other three primary seam bowling options. Furthermore, Sophie Devine can roll her arm over whenever the team needs her.
In the spin department, Amelia Kerr and Nansi Patel are the two main options. However, if the Kiwis decide to go with four seamers, Patel might be dropped, though they do have Suzie Bates and Maddy Green who can contribute some overs in the middle.
New Zealand Women Predicted Playing XI:
Suzie Bates, Georgia Plimmer, Amelia Kerr (c), Sophie Devine, Maddy Green, Brooke Halliday, Izzy Gaze (wk), Jess Kerr, Lea Tahuhu, Rosemary Mair, Bree Illing.
New Zealand Women Actual Playing XI:
Flora Devonshire, Polly Inglis, Georgia Plimmer, Lea Tahuhu, Isabella Gaze, Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine, Brooke Halliday, Maddy Green, Izzy Sharp, Jess Kerr, Nensi Patel, Rosemary Mair, Bree Illing
Bangladesh Women Preview
Despite boasting immense potential and talented players, the Bangladesh Women’s cricket team has not been at its best recently, often failing to rise to the challenge in crunch situations. This was evident in the recent Tri-Series against the Netherlands and Scotland, where Bangladesh suffered defeats against both sides.
However, they found their form toward the back end of the tournament, finishing the series on a high. They secured a 34-run victory over Scotland Women by successfully defending 153 runs, followed by an 8-run win over Netherlands Women in a rain-curtailed, 8-over clash.
A shift in intent from their batters was highly evident in these last two matches, where the scoring rate surged to 7.5–8 runs per over. Skipper Nigar Sultana Joty enjoyed a dream run, scoring 190 runs across 4 matches at a strike rate of 134.75.
Alongside her, Dilara Akter smashed 86 runs at a strike rate of 140, while Shobana Mostary contributed 80 runs in 4 matches with a strike rate of 115. These three players hold the key to clearing the ropes, and Bangladesh will hope they can carry this rich vein of form through the warm-up matches and into the main tournament.
In the bowling department, pacer Ritu Moni returned to her best, finishing the series with 7 wickets. Left-arm seamer Fariha Trisna was equally impressive, claiming 4 wickets in 3 matches. Meanwhile, the X-factor in Bangladesh's pace attack remains Marufa Akter; though she picked up only 3 wickets in the series, she will be eager to hit her stride during the upcoming warm-ups.
Bangladesh Women Predicted Playing XI:
Dilara Akter, Sharmin Akter Supta, Nigar Sultana (c & wk), Sobhana Mostary, Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter, Fariha Islam Trisna.
Bangladesh Women Actual Playing XI:
Taj Nehar, Sultana Khatun, Shanjida Akter, Fahima Khatun, Nigar Sultana, Nahida Akter, Dilara Akter, Sharmin Akhter, Ritu Moni, Sobhana Mostary, Shorna Akter, Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter, Fariha Trisna, Juairiya Ferdous
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The weather in Loughborough is expected to remain pleasant throughout the evening with temperatures around 18-20°C. Cloud cover may assist seam bowlers early in the innings, but significant rain interruptions are not expected.
NZW vs BANW Pitch Report
Haslegrave Ground offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early on, fast bowlers find movement, especially under overcast skies. However, the surface settles as the match progresses, favoring second-innings stroke-play. While the average first-innings score sits around 140–155, chasing teams generally enjoy success, though targets above 150 remain difficult to track down.
Score Prediction
If New Zealand Women Bat First: 175-190 runs
If Bangladesh Women Bat First: 145-160 runs
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first won three of the last five WT20I's played at the Haslegrave Ground in Loughborough and both teams will look to bat first in this warm-up fixture to test their batting lineup and look to post huge scores on tough batting tracks.
Toss Prediction: New Zealand Women to win the coin toss
NZW vs BANW
Winning Prediction
While the Bangladesh Women possess quality players in Nigar Sultana and Nahida Akter, the New Zealand Women have a much stronger and more experienced squad. The White Ferns boast match-winners across all departments, including Amelia Kerr, Suzie Bates, and Sophie Devine, and their bowling attack appears well-suited to English conditions.
Bangladesh are capable of making the contest competitive, particularly through their spin attack, but New Zealand's superior batting depth and all-round quality give them a clear advantage heading into this warm-up fixture.
