IND-W vs BAN-W Match Analysis

 

The 28th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 will take place at Navi Mumbai on October 26, featuring India Women against Bangladesh Women. The match will begin at 2:00 PM local time, with the afternoon heat likely to challenge both sides before dew potentially influences the chase later in the evening.

 

The India Women enter this clash high on confidence after a commanding win over New Zealand in their previous outing. Led by the dynamic Harmanpreet Kaur, the team has shown an impressive blend of aggression and maturity.

 

Bangladesh Women have fought bravely throughout the tournament but have struggled to convert close matches into victories. Nigar Sultana’s side has displayed moments of brilliance, particularly with the ball, yet batting depth remains a concern under pressure.

 

India Women vs Bangladesh Women Team Preview & Squads

 

India Women

 

Harmanpreet Kaur has been the driving force of India’s campaign—bold, composed, and tactically astute. Her leadership has brought balance to the side, particularly in rotating bowlers and managing field settings. She also continues to inspire with the bat, blending calculated aggression with the ability to read match situations.

 

IND’s batting order has looked menacing, anchored by Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, who have been scoring fluently. Richa Ghosh’s power-hitting in the death overs adds another dimension, while Deepti Sharma and Amanjot Kaur provide stability in the middle.

 

India’s bowling attack has thrived under the calm leadership of Sneh Rana and Renuka Singh. Renuka’s new-ball swing and Radha Yadav’s middle-over control have been central to India’s success.

 

In their previous game against New Zealand Women at Navi Mumbai, IND delivered a clinical all-round performance. Posting a mammoth 340/3 in 49 overs, thanks to half-centuries from Mandhana, Rodrigues, and Harmanpreet, they set up a daunting chase. New Zealand’s batters fought valiantly but could only manage 271/8 in 44 overs (DLS target 325). India won comfortably by 53 runs, maintaining their dominant run in the competition.

Bangladesh Women

 

Nigar Sultana has led BAN with composure and tactical sharpness despite the challenges faced. As a wicketkeeper-batter, she’s shouldered responsibility in the middle order, often rescuing the side from collapses.

 

BAN’s batting relies heavily on partnerships between Fargana Hoque, Sobhana Mostary, and Nigar Sultana. However, inconsistency in the lower middle order has hurt their finishing ability. To compete against India, their top four must anchor the innings and push for a total beyond 230.

 

The bowling unit remains Bangladesh’s main strength, spearheaded by Marufa Akter’s pace and Nahida Akter’s guile with spin. Fahima Khatun and Rabeya Khan have also been handy in breaking partnerships.

 

In their last match against Sri Lanka Women, Bangladesh fell heartbreakingly short by just 7 runs. Chasing 203, they were in the hunt through Fargana Hoque’s steady innings, but lost crucial wickets in the death overs. Despite the loss, their bowlers impressed by restricting Sri Lanka to 202. It was yet another example of Bangladesh’s grit, but also their struggle to finish close games.

The Navi Mumbai surface has played true throughout the tournament, offering excellent value for shots. Batters who spend time at the crease can accelerate freely, while spinners find some purchase as the game progresses. Expect another high-scoring contest, especially under lights when the ball comes nicely onto the bat.

 

The weather is expected to be clear and humid, with temperatures hovering around 31°C during the afternoon and dipping to 27°C by evening. Dew will likely play a role in the second innings, favoring teams that prefer to chase. Wind conditions should remain moderate, offering some assistance to swing bowlers early on.

 

Historically, first-innings totals at Navi Mumbai have ranged between 260–330, with anything above 300 considered strong. Chasing has been slightly easier due to the dew factor, but early wickets can tilt momentum. A par score here would be around 280 batting first, while 250 is typically chaseable with proper partnerships.
