IND-W vs BAN-W, Women’s World Cup 2025 Match Prediction: Who will win today’s match between India and Bangladesh?
India will face Bangladesh during the 28th match of ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Sunday. While India have already secured their place in the semi-finals, Bangladesh will aim to end their campaign on a high note after a tough tournament.
Confident India seeks to gain momentum
India comes into this competition with strong momentum, having beaten New Zealand convincingly during their last outing. The batting line-up led by Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal played out perfectly with the two openers dominating up front and Jemimah Rodrigues adding stability in the middle order. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma provided the balance, with Deepti’s consistency with bat and ball being the key to India’s success. Renuka Singh and Kranti Gaud were electric with the new ball, providing early breakthroughs and maintaining the pressure through disciplined bowling.
With a semi-final clash against Australia looming, India are expected to rest a few key players. Richa Ghosh, who injured his finger against New Zealand, may miss out, giving Uma Chetry a chance behind the stumps. Amanjot Kaur could also replace Renuka Thakur. India’s main objective will be to maintain the winning pace while intelligently managing the workload of the players ahead of the knockout stage.
Bangladesh aims for a good finish
For Bangladesh, this match represents a pride and an opportunity. Despite impressive bowling performances led by Nahida Akter and Marufa Akter, their inconsistent batting cost them, leading to five consecutive defeats after an early win against Pakistan. If they manage to upset their hosts, Bangladesh could climb to sixth place in the rankings, which would significantly increase their ICC prize winnings.
Key hitter Fargana Hoque and captain Nigar Sultana will be crucial in anchoring the innings, while young talents like Sobhana Mostary and Shorna Akter will hope to make their mark. Bangladesh could also consider bringing back the experienced Fahima Khatun in place of Rabeya Khan to strengthen their spinning attack.
