NZ-W vs BD-W: New Zealand Women will lock horns against Bangladesh Women in the 1st T20I of the Bangladesh Women’s tour of New Zealand, 2022 on Friday, December 2, 2022, at Hagley Oval, Christchurch.
New Zealand Women will be looking for a victorious start to the series with the likes of Jess Kerr, Amelia Kerr, and Suzie Bates holding the impetus for the White Ferns. Bangladesh Women, on the other hand, need to bring their best to outplay the hosts.
