New Zealand Women 181 for 2 (Bates 93*, Green 59*, Alam 2-32) beat Bangladesh Women 180 for 8 (Sultana 73, Jess Kerr 4-23) by eight wickets

There would be no wickets thereafter, though, as Bates and Green steered New Zealand home with an unbroken stand of 131 off just 134 balls. Bates finished unbeaten on 93 off 91 balls, with 12 fours, and Green on 59 off 70, with five fours.

Having scored hit just one four while scoring 43 off her first 105 balls, Sultana managed to accelerate somewhat, hitting three fours and a six while picking up 30 off her next 27 balls before being run-out for a career-best 73. Jess Kerr returned to the attack to bowl the 48th and 50th overs of Bangladesh's innings, and picked up two more wickets to finish with a career-best 4 for 23.
