NZ-W vs BAN-W, 2nd ODI Match Prediction – Who will win today's match between NZ-W vs BAN-W?

New Zealand Women are all set to take on Bangladesh Women in the 2nd ODI of the three-match series at Mclean Park, Napier. The first ODI was completely dominated by the hosts who gave the visitors no chance throughout the game. The visitors are yet to win a game in the tour with the three T20Is going in favour of New Zealand.  

Suzie Bates setup the victory for New Zealand with a match-winning knock at the top of the order and Maddy Green played the support role quite well in the first ODI. For the visitors, skipper Nigar Sultana was a major positive as played a defiant knock under tough circumstances. Bangladesh will be desperate for a win especially with the series on line.

NZ-W vs BAN-W Probable Top Performers 

Probable best batter: Amelia Kerr 

Amelia Kerr was dismissed for a first-ball duck in the previous ODI and she will be keen to make up for it. The 22-year-old has got the ability to play the big innings and her highest score of unbeaten 232 explains the impact she can have. She is a useful all-rounder and it is hard to keep her not involved in the game. 

Probable best bowler: Jess Kerr 

Jess Kerr was the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand in the previous game and she bowled a fantastic spell to restrict the opposition to a paltry total. The 24-year-old finished with 4 for 23 in her ten overs and bowled four maidens during her spell. She will be riding high on confidence after the impressive bowling spell in the first ODI.
