Bangladesh vs New Zealand is a relatively new matchup in women’s cricket. It was only in 2020 when these two women’s sides met for the first time.
And their first encounter turned out to be a bit nervy. In the 2020 T20 World Cup fixture, Bangladesh’s bowlers bundled out the White Ferns for 91 runs. If not for the New Zealand bowlers’ brilliance, Bangladesh would’ve caused a great upset.
Apart from that, Bangladesh haven’t quite troubled New Zealand in women’s ODIs and T20Is.
But they would like to give a strong fight when they take on the White Ferns in the 2025 Women’s World Cup. Bangladesh and New Zealand will face off on October 10, 2025, in Guwahati.
Here you can look at the head-to-head timeline between Bangladesh women and New Zealand women, including notable records and highlights.

New Zealand have kept an upper hand over Bangladesh in their limited meetings. But they will be under immense pressure when they face Bangladesh in the 2025 Women’s World Cup.
The White Ferns have lost two matches in the tournament. And they are desperately looking for their first win.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, have a win in two matches under their belt. They almost came close to beating England on the spin-friendly Guwahati surface. So they will pose a threat to the White Ferns on the same surface.
