New Zealand has been struggling on the field in the ICC tournament. In both the games they could not cross even 100-run mark. In a game against Australia Women, New Zealand bundled out at 76 followed by yet another collapse (67/10) against South Africa. Players like Suzie Bates, Amelia Kerr, Sophie Devine and Hayley Jensen have been disappointing throughout the tournament.
