New Zealand Women’s National Cricket Team vs Bangladesh Women’s National Cricket Team Match Scorecard Live Cricket Streaming Details and Toss Update: New Zealand Women’s cricket team won the toss and chose to bat first against Bangladesh in the 11th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Devine said the team wanted to take advantage of the used wicket and set a strong total to defend. She also confirmed a change in the lineup with Rosemary Mair replacing Hannah Illing.
"We are gonna have a bat first today, it's a used wicket so we want to have a first crack at it. We will back ourselves to put a total on the board and then defend it. We have done some things right but we haven't maintainted it for a long period. We want to be consistent with our bowling so we need to keep it simple. One change for us - Mair comes in for Illing," Devine said.
Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana said the team had wanted to bowl first but will back their players to perform well. She added that Sumaiya Akter and Nishita Akter Nishi are included in the playing XI. "We wanted to bowl first, our bowlers have been doing well in the first two games so we wanted to give them a freebie. It's a very good opportunity for us, we want to play our A game here. We have two changes - Sumaiya and Nishita come into the side," she said.
