Bangladesh women's team captain Nigar Sultana Joty believes her squad is not under any pressure ahead of their second Women's World Cup match against New Zealand on Monday.

Bangladesh fell 32 runs short against South Africa after restraining the proteas to 207 all out.

"I think we don't have any pressure right now because this is the stage, we were trying to show ourselves on and because there are a lot of things that we can get on from here," said Nigar.

"So still, we do have a lot of chance to do well here and show our potential to the whole world,"

Bangladesh team has settled well into Dunedin, where they also faced the Proteas, despite this World Cup marking their first time on New Zealand soil.

"I think still we had a lot of practices here, even though we have only played a couple of matches.  We adapted to the wicket very well and with the conditions as well. We're just trying to give our best and trying to deliver our best in the next match," the skipper added.

Bangladesh and South Africa will square off in the second match of the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 at the University Oval.
