The 4 semifinalists of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 have been decided. South Africa, Australia, England, and the co-hosts India have made it to the last 4. Now the remaining league games are nothing but formality. Next up in the competition is match 27 to be played between the 4-time champions England Women, and the one-time champion New Zealand Women. In this post, we have come up with free expert tips for the ENG-W vs NZ-W Match 27 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.

Win Probability: ENG-W vs NZ-W

New Zealand Women will be gutted to miss out on a semifinal spot, especially with two winnable games, against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, slipping away due to relentless rain. Both matches were well within their control before the weather intervened and forced abandonments. If they had secured both those wins, India would have been eliminated from the semis. As far as England is concerned, they just lost a single game in the tournament against Australia Women and should fancy themselves to win this one against a team low on confidence. Therefore, the win probability meter should favor the English Women. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the ENG-W vs NZ-W Match 27 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.

ENG-W: 70% win chance
NZ-W: 30% win chance

  • The English Women currently hold the third spot on the points table with 4 wins, a loss, and a no-result game out of 6.
  • The New Zealand Women will finish 5th on the points table. They had a mixed tournament, winning only one, losing three, and two games ended without a result out of 6.
  • In the last 5 ODI meetings between these two sides, the English women have dominated, winning 4 games, whereas the New Zealand Women have won only a solitary game.

ENG-W vs NZ-W Today’s Match Prediction

Check out our prediction for the ENG-W vs NZ-W 27th match of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.

England Women will look to dominate this game and return to winning ways before the knockouts

England Women will be eager to assert their dominance and head into the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 knockouts with renewed momentum. After a mixed run in the league stage, this final group fixture against New Zealand presents a golden opportunity to fine-tune their combinations and regain winning form. With the Kiwis already out of semifinal contention, England will aim to exploit any lack of intensity from their opponents and stamp their authority early in the contest.

The English side boasts a balanced unit with match-winners across departments, and they’ll be keen to put together a clinical performance that sets the tone for the high-pressure games ahead. Expect their top-order to come out firing, while the bowlers will look to maintain discipline and control. For New Zealand, pride will be at stake; they’ll want to finish on a high and play spoiler to England’s plans.

With knockout spots already secured, England’s focus will be on rhythm, execution, and confidence-building. A dominant win here could be just the boost they need heading into the business end of the tournament.

New Zealand Women will be hoping to close off their disappointing campaign with a win

New Zealand Women will be desperate to end their ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 campaign on a positive note after a string of setbacks that dashed their semifinal hopes. Despite showing glimpses of promise, their journey has been marred by missed opportunities and unfortunate weather interruptions, particularly in games against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, where rain robbed them of potential victories.

As they gear up for their final league match against England, pride and redemption will be the driving forces. A win here won’t change their tournament fate, but it could restore some morale and offer a fitting farewell to what has been a frustrating campaign. Expect the White Ferns to come out with intent, looking to challenge England’s rhythm and disrupt their momentum heading into the knockouts.

Senior players will be key in rallying the squad, while younger talents may see this as a chance to make a lasting impression. For New Zealand, it’s about salvaging something meaningful from the tournament and proving they can still compete with the best. A spirited performance could help them bow out with heads held high. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
