Can Tigresses buck the trend against NZ?

After defeats in their first two games, Bangladesh will be desperate to register their first win in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup when they take on New Zealand in their third Group 1 encounter in Cape Town today.
Nigar Sultana Joty and Co. have not registered a win in the flagship event since the 2014 edition and were sloppy as they crashed to comprehensive defeats against Sri Lanka and Australia this time around.
Batting was the biggest area of concern for Bangladesh, with the Tigresses posting 126 for eight against Sri Lanka in a seven-wicket defeat in their opening game.
Things remained unchanged for their second assignment, against Australia, as Bangladesh put up a small total of 107 for seven, going on to lose by eight wickets. New Zealand also lost their first two group games -- against Australia and South Africa -- so Bangladesh will be eyeing to capitalise on that momentum.
