New Zealand Women will take on England Women at the Eden Park in Auckland in the 19th match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022.
New Zealand, led by Sophie Devine, aren’t in the best of positions in the ongoing edition of the championship. Having won two out of five games, the hosts are precariously placed fifth in the points table. Another loss would make their last league game against Pakistan a must-win affair.
They will go into the game after a two-wicket loss at the hands of Sune Luus South Africa on March 17. After opting to bat, the White Ferns reached 228 in 47.5 overs on the back of Devine’s 93-run knock. But South Africa chased down the target after fifties from Laura Wolvaardt and Luus.
England, led by Heather Knight, started their campaign with three losses on the trot. But on Wednesday, March 16, the Brits made a stupendous comeback after beating India by four wickets. After being put into bat first, India were shot out for 134 in 36.2 overs.
Charlotte Dean was the pick of the bowlers as she got three crucial wickets in the middle overs. England lost the early wickets of Danielle Wyatt and Tammy Beaumont, but Knight and Nat Sciver steadied the ship. Knight stayed unbeaten on 53 to steer her team to a win.
