The New Zealand Women's Team are placed in Group 1 of the tournament, which has sides like defending champions Australia and also hosts South Africa. Scroll down to see the full squad and their match list.
New Zealand Women (NZ-W) will hope to replicate their last year's international form in the shortest format and carry the momentum into the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup 2023. The White Ferns are yet to win the title, having reached to final twice in the first two editions of the tournament. New Zealand Women were shown an early exit from the contest in the previous two editions of 2020 and 2018 after unconvincing performances in the group stage. The white ferns will aim to change the course this time and push beyond the first round once they face the sides clubbed with them in Group 1, including defending champions Australia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and hosts South Africa.

Following her minor foot issue, regular captain Sophie Devine was declared fit to join the 15-member squad for Women's T20 World Cup 2023. Wicket-keeper batter Bernadine Bezuidenhout is set to make her comeback first time since 2020, replacing Jessica McFadyen in the squad. Bezuidenhout was out of field for two long years, due to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) illness. Lauren Down and Brooke Halliday are the other inclusions in the world cup squad, who will reinforce the batting line-up. Batter Georgia Plimmer and left-arm spinner Fran Jonas, who also featured in inaugural U-19 Women's World Cup, have been named in the squad for senior Women's T20 World Cup 2023.
