England Women will lock horns with New Zealand Women in the 12th match of the ongoing Commonwealth Games (CWG 2022) at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham on Thursday (August 4). Both teams have qualified for the semi-finals from Group B and will hope to win the last game before the knockouts.

Hosts England have been one of the teams to beat in the competition, with youngsters Alice Capsey and Freya Kemp stepping up in Heather Knight’s absence. They have a balanced unit with a lot of firepower and depth and will fancy their chances of topping the points table.

New Zealand Women, on the other hand, have been equally impressive, with Suzie Bates starring at the top of the order. Although both teams look evenly-matched on paper, England will hold the edge going into this much-awaited clash in Birmingham.
