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

After absolutely decimating the Bangladesh team in the T20I series, the White Ferns will now take on the Nigar Sultana-led side for a three-match ODI series. The first of which will be played on Saturday, December 11 at Basin Reserve in Wellington.

Skipper Sophie Devine along with Amelia Kerr looked phenomenal in the third T20I and would look forward to doing the same kind of damage in the ODI series as well. When it comes to bowling, the White Ferns hardly gave any room to the Bangladesh cricketers to dominate in the T20Is. Thus, they will be confident of getting a positive result in the upcoming ODI series as well.

When it comes to Bangladesh, the team needs to improve by a massive margin to counter the Kiwi attack. They looked clueless in the T20I series and that definitely needs to change. The batters will have to take more responsibility in the middle to give Bangladesh any sort of opportunity to win the game.
