Bangladesh Women vs Pakistan Women Team Preview & Squads

 

Bangladesh Women

 

Nigar Sultana, the skipper and wicketkeeper, has been BAN most consistent performer with the bat. Her calmness under pressure and tactical approach make her a strong leader. She will look to anchor the innings and guide the team’s young batters.

 

Bangladesh’s batting has improved in depth, with Fargana Hoque and Sobhana Mostary providing solidity at the top. Nigar Sultana’s presence in the middle ensures stability during tough phases. The lower order, with Ritu Moni and Shorna Akter, can add crucial runs in crunch situations.

 

BAN bowling strength lies in their spinners, led by Nahida Akter and Rabeya Khan. Marufa Akter’s pace provides variety, while Fahima Khatun brings experience in the middle overs. The attack is well-suited for Colombo’s spin-friendly conditions.

 

In their warm-up game against Sri Lanka on September 27, Bangladesh Women showed resilience. Batting first, they posted 242/8 thanks to contributions from their middle order. The bowlers then held their nerve in a tense finish, bowling out Sri Lanka for 241. They clinched victory by just 1 run, boosting their morale ahead of this World Cup clash.

PAK batting relies on the experienced Sidra Amin and Muneeba Ali at the top. Omaima Sohail and Aliya Riaz provide strength in the middle order. However, consistency will be key as they face Bangladesh’s spin-heavy attack.

BAN-W vs PAK-W Outfield Report

 

The Colombo pitch is known for its balanced behavior, offering assistance to spinners as the game progresses. Batters who apply themselves early can build big scores, but rash shots are punished. Seamers may also get help with the new ball in morning conditions.

 

The weather is expected to be warm and humid, with temperatures hovering around 29–31°C. Light cloud cover could help fast bowlers in the first 10 overs. No major rain interruptions are forecast for match day.

 

Historically, Colombo has seen first innings scores ranging between 220–260 in women’s ODIs. While 250+ is considered a strong total batting first, chasing teams have often succeeded with disciplined partnerships. Scores below 200 have usually been difficult to defend.
