Match Facts
- Danni Wyatt-Hodge (193) is 24 away from recording the most runs of any England player in a single edition of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup (Nat Sciver-Brunt – 216 in 2023); she’s scored 354 runs at an average of 44.3 across her last nine T20I innings overall including four 50+ scores in that span.
- Lea Tahuhu (22) is two away from equaling Leigh Kasperek (24) for the third most wickets for New Zealand in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup history (Melie Kerr – 37, Sophie Devine – 31); she’s taken five wickets at an average of 13.2 across her last three T20I innings overall, recording at least one wicket in each of those three innings.
- Heather Knight (2,596) is 10 away from surpassing Charlotte Edwards (2,605) as England’s third all-time leading run scorer in women’s T20Is (Danni Wyatt-Hodge – 3,562 and Nat Sciver-Brunt – 3,054); she has a career T20I batting average of 40.2 against New Zealand, the second best of any England player (min. 10 innings) against a single team in the format (Charlotte Edwards – 54.1 vs South Africa).
- Melie Kerr (New Zealand) has scored 554 runs in women’s T20Is in 2026, the second most of any White Ferns player in a calendar year in the format (Suzie Bates – 670 in 2018); although, she’s scored fewer than 10 runs in four of her last five T20I innings against England (0, 43, 8, 0, 5).
- England have won their four matches at this ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 so far; they will be aiming to complete the group stage of the tournament with a 100% win rate for the fifth time (W4 in 2023, W4 in 2016, W3 in 2012, W3 in 2009).
- New Zealand have won their last two matches during the group stage at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, as many as they won across their five such fixtures prior (W2 L3); the White Ferns have won their final game at this stage of the tournament in eight of their previous nine campaigns, losing only to Australia in 2020.
- England have won all four of their women’s T20Is at The Oval in London – only at the County Ground in Northampton (W8) have they played more matches at a single venue in the format without losing (also W4 at Hnry Stadium in Wellington and Lord’s in London).
- New Zealand have won 10 of their 15 women’s T20Is in 2026 (L5), including each of their last two; an 11th victory in this match would equal their most wins in a calendar year in the history of the format (W11 in 2010).
- England have won both of their two previous ICC Women’s T20 World Cup matches against New Zealand, winning the coin toss and bowling first on the day in each of those two games (2009 at Lord’s and 2012 at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo).
- England have won nine of their last 10 women’s T20Is against New Zealand (L1), including a seven-wicket victory when they last met in the format earlier this year (25 May 2026); their only defeat in that span was a 14-run loss at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury (23 May 2026).
