1. Nigar Sultana vs Sophie Devine

Captain Nigar Sultana has not been at her best with 23 runs at an average of 11.50, with the highest score of 23. Although she has been one of the most reliable batters and keepers for her country. Sultana guided the team well from behind the stumps, leading to a convincing win over Pakistan.

Sophie Devine has single-handedly carried the New Zealand batting lineup. She has scored 197 runs at an average of 98.50 and a strike rate of 93.80, including one century and one fifty, with the best score of 112. This is her last outing in Women’s ODIs, as she has announced her retirement after the event. Being the captain, she will want to win this game.

She played a huge role in Bangladesh’s win over Pakistan and will be in focus against New Zealand as well, whose bowlers haven’t clicked yet.

3. Fahima Khatun vs Brooke Halliday

Fahima Khatun has taken four wickets at an economy of 2.82 in two games with best bowling figures of 3/16. The leg-spinner has made batters work hard for their runs and will find the Guwahati pitch aiding her style of bowling.

Brooke Halliday has given good support with 73 runs at an average of 36.50, with the best score of 45. Halliday has had a good start to her Women’s World Cup 2025 but is yet to get into her stride. Her form is very crucial for New Zealand’s chances in the tournament, especially after two losses.
