BAN-W vs SA-W Match Analysis
The 14th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will see Bangladesh Women take on South Africa Women at Visakhapatnam. The match begins at 10:00 AM local time under what’s expected to be warm and slightly humid conditions.
Bangladesh Women have shown glimpses of competitiveness in this tournament but still lack the consistency to challenge the top sides. Their batting collapses have cost them crucial matches despite commendable efforts from their bowlers.
South Africa Women enter this match high on confidence after a composed win against India. Their batting depth, led by the experienced core of Wolvaardt, Kapp, and Luus, has been complemented well by their disciplined pace attack.
Bangladesh Women vs South Africa Women Team Preview & Squads
Bangladesh Women
Skipper Nigar Sultana remains Bangladesh’s most dependable batter and tactical mind. Her composure behind the stumps and leadership under pressure have been commendable, even as the team struggles for balance.
Bangladesh Women top order, anchored by Fargana Hoque and Sobhana Mostary, has lacked the fluency needed in modern one-day cricket. While they can build steady starts, acceleration remains a key issue, especially in the middle overs. The team will depend heavily on Nigar Sultana and Shorna Akter to convert starts into match-defining innings.
Bowling remains Bangladesh’s strongest suit, led by the ever-reliable Nahida Akter and the pace promise of Marufa Akter. Their spinners can choke run flow effectively, but the attack often suffers when defending low totals.
In their previous outing, BAN Women were comprehensively beaten by New Zealand Women in Guwahati. Chasing 228, they were bundled out for just 127 in 39.5 overs. Only Fargana Hoque showed resistance with a gritty 34, while the rest crumbled under New Zealand’s pressure.

South Africa Women
Captain Laura Wolvaardt continues to be South Africa’s batting engine and guiding presence. Her calm yet assertive leadership has inspired a composed brand of cricket throughout the tournament.
With a top order featuring Tazmin Brits, Anneke Bosch, and Marizanne Kapp, South Africa boasts both power and stability. Their lower-middle order, including Tryon and de Klerk, ensures they can recover from early blows or finish strongly. The balance and adaptability of this lineup make them one of the most dangerous batting sides in the competition.
SA pace attack, spearheaded by Ayabonga Khaka and Masabata Klaas, has been effective with the new ball, while Nonkululeko Mlaba’s left-arm spin adds variety in the middle overs. The bowlers complement each other well, maintaining tight lines and exploiting pressure situations. Against Bangladesh, their bowling depth could easily tilt the contest early.
SA Women clinched a hard-fought win over India Women in their last match at Visakhapatnam. Chasing 252, they reached 252/7 in 48.5 overs, winning by three wickets with seven balls to spare. Marizanne Kapp and Laura Wolvaardt played key roles in stabilizing the chase after early hiccups. The victory boosted South Africa’s confidence heading into this encounter.

Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam
The Visakhapatnam surface tends to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early morning moisture assists seamers, but once set, batters can play through the line with confidence. Expect scores around the 230–250 mark if the team batting first manages a steady start.
The forecast predicts mostly sunny conditions with a temperature hovering around 31°C and moderate humidity. Dew might play a role in the second innings, making chasing slightly easier. Captains may prefer to bowl first, keeping the evening conditions in mind.
The average first-innings total at this venue in women’s ODIs hovers near 240, with the highest around 280 and the lowest roughly 150. Teams batting first have struggled when early wickets fall, but set batters can cash in later. A total above 250 should be considered competitive here.
