The introduction of spinners, however, reduced the scoring rate, and the team battled to regain momentum as wickets dropped often.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand captain Sophie Devine said the team needed to \u201cmove on swiftly\u201d after losing to the West Indies, but she said she was worried the match versus Bangladesh may be rained out, which would be a devastating blow to their prospects.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand picked up the pace at the finish, as Bates and Kerr put on a century partnership in just 81 balls.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New Zealand beat Bangladesh by nine wickets! \ud83d\udc4f<\/p>\n<p>Suzie Bates and Amelia Kerr steer the White Ferns to a comfortable win.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CWC22?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CWC22<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bkaJL0wVcn\">pic.twitter.com\/bkaJL0wVcn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ICC Cricket World Cup (@cricketworldcup) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cricketworldcup\/status\/1500711825419210752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 7, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The victory gave New Zealand\u2019s ailing campaign new life following a devastating loss to the West Indies in the tournament\u2019s first encounter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":271,"featured_media":26631,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3211,3061,2945],"class_list":["post-3561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-bangladesh-women","tag-new-zealand-women","tag-womens-world-cup-2022"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/271"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
