And this is the part most people miss...
Bangladesh's bowling attack, led by Rabeya Khan (3-30), keeps the pressure on. However, New Zealand's late flourish in the final overs adds an intriguing twist to the tale.
As the chase begins, Bangladesh's openers, Rubya Haider Jhilik and Sharmin Akter Supta, step up to the challenge. With a target of 228, the pressure is on, and New Zealand's bowlers, especially Rosemary Mair, are ready to strike.
Will Bangladesh's batting lineup rise to the occasion?
New Zealand batter Brooke Halliday shares her insights, emphasizing the importance of patience and singles. She believes the pitch offers a chance for their bowlers to defend the total.
As the match progresses, wickets fall and runs are hard to come by. New Zealand's bowlers maintain a tight line and length, keeping Bangladesh on the back foot.
Can Bangladesh's batters find their rhythm?
