DHAKA, Oct 10, 2025 (BSS)-New Zealand Women's team put on 227-9, leaving Bangladesh to chase 230 for a victory in their third match in the ICC Cricket World Cup at Guwahati Stadium in India today.

New Zealand, which opted to bat first, rode on fifties from skipper Sophie Devine and Brooke Halliday.

They combined for a 112-run for the fourth wicket stand to lay a solid platform after Bangladesh bowlers bowled in disciplined manner to leave them at precarious 38-3.

Halliday top-scored for the side with 69 while Devine added 63.

Rabeya Khan was the most successful bowler for Bangladesh with 3-30.

Rabeya gave Bangladesh a start to cherish, dismissing Gerogia Plimmer and Amelia Kerr in three balls. 

Bangladesh then found them in over the moon when Suzie Bates, one of the best openers in the world, was removed for 29 by being run out.

However, Devine and Halliday helped the side recover from the collapse. Nishita Akter Nishi broke the dangerous partnership by taking out Devine before Fahima Khatun got rid of Halliday.

After their dismissals, New Zealand lost their last five wickets for 48 runs.
