New Zealand Women’s National Cricket Team Records and Players
Covers 255 matches played by New Zealand Women from Mar 2007 to Jun 2026 (Afghanistan matches are not in the open data set).
The New Zealand women’s national cricket team has won more T20Is than it has lost, 71 to 61, but trails in ODIs, 49 wins to 64. Those figures cover 255 matches from Mar 2007 to Jun 2026.
The split comes down to two opponents. England and Australia have won the large majority of their games against New Zealand in both formats, while the White Ferns have strong records against most other sides. Below are the full opponent tables, New Zealand’s top batters and bowlers, and the team’s biggest and smallest totals. No women’s Tests for New Zealand fall inside this data, and matches with Afghanistan are absent from the open set.
New Zealand Women results by format and opponent
ODIs: 49 wins and 64 defeats from 119, which is 43.4% of decided games. Against England New Zealand have won 5 of 24, and against Australia 3 of 23. Take those two teams away and the picture changes: New Zealand have won 9 of 12 against Pakistan, 6 of 10 against Sri Lanka and every match against Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Ireland.
T20Is: 71 wins from 136, a 53.8% share once no results and ties are set aside. England have won 25 of 29 meetings and Australia 20 of 27. Against South Africa, though, New Zealand lead 14 to 5, and they are unbeaten against Bangladesh, Ireland and Zimbabwe.
The latest results in the data come from a long tour of England in May and Jun 2026. New Zealand won an ODI at Cardiff on 16 May 2026, but England took the final T20I at The Oval by 9 wickets on 27 Jun 2026.
