PREVIEW
England and New Zealand walk into the penultimate league stage match of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 — which has no bearing on semifinal qualification — with contrasting motivations.
While the White Ferns’ objective will be to provide a memorable farewell to skipper Sophie Devine, who is retiring from the format after Sunday’s clash at the ACA-VDCA Stadium, England’s focus will be on bouncing back from its loss to Australia.
Nat Sciver-Brunt & Co. cannot afford two consecutive losses ahead of the climactic phase, so changes to the playing XI are unlikely.
