Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s chase never clicked. Fahima Khatun offered resistance, yet partnerships didn’t form. New Zealand’s bowlers applied pressure across the board. Consequently, Bangladesh were dismissed for 127 in the 40th over, giving the White Ferns a 100-run victory.
Turning points
• After New Zealand’s early wobble, the 112-run fourth-wicket stand (Halliday–Devine) changed the match momentum.
• Midway through Bangladesh’s chase, two quick wickets stalled the recovery and swung pressure back to the bowlers. Thus, the chase unraveled. ESPN.com
Tactical takeaways
• New Zealand: they showed patience and depth. Their batters rebuilt under pressure, then their seam attack executed plans—bowling fuller lines and forcing mistakes. As a result, they controlled the chase from ball one.
• Bangladesh: they need more partnerships and better handling of disciplined seam bowling. Moving forward, they must strengthen the middle order and convert starts into match-defining knocks.
