We are backing New Zealand Women, who start as favourites with a 57% win chance.
They also have the upper hand over Bangladesh Women, winning 3 of the 3 meetings between the two sides that produced a result. That said, Bangladesh Women have the better recent form (two wins from their last five games, to one from five for New Zealand Women), which is why this is far from a sure thing.
We expect a first-innings score of around 170, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
