ENG-W vs NZ-W 27th Match Highlights of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025
England Women clinched a dominant victory over New Zealand Women, knocking them out for 168 before chasing down the target with clinical efficiency in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 league stage showdown. So Let’s take a look at ENG-W vs NZ-W 27th Match Highlights of ICC WWC 2025.
England Spinners Restrict New Zealand to Below-Par Total
England set the tone early, with their spinners expertly exploiting the sluggish Visakhapatnam surface to dismantle New Zealand’s lineup for a modest 168. It was a poignant match for the Kiwis as captain Sophie Devine, playing her final ODI, was dismissed by a fired-up Nat Sciver-Brunt in a defining moment of the innings. Devine, despite flashes of her trademark aggression, found little support from her teammates as wickets tumbled at regular intervals. England’s bowlers consistently varied their pace and flight, ensuring that New Zealand could never establish momentum. The persistent pressure told as only a handful of Kiwi batters managed double figures, while sharp fielding and disciplined lines made scoring arduous on a surface offering turn and bounce.
England Cruise in the Chase to Enter Semifinals on a High
Chasing what appeared to be a tricky target on testing conditions, England made the most of a steady powerplay, staying well ahead of the required rate and keeping wickets intact. Openers provided a measured start, rotating strike and punishing loose deliveries while weathering the early movement. The English middle order, led by experienced hands, ensured there were no hiccups as they methodically chipped away at the total. The run chase mirrored England’s recent form—efficient but punctuated by sporadic pressure phases—though this time, they were in complete control from the outset. The result sent a clear message to their upcoming semifinal opponents; England’s blend of spin, fielding intensity, and batting depth makes them a formidable force heading into the knockout stage.
With the group stage wrapped up, England look poised and confident for the semifinals, while New Zealand bid an emotional farewell to Sophie Devine. Can England sustain this clinical edge in the business end of the tournament?
