Bangladesh Women's Team vs India Women's Team will face off in a crucial group stage match of the 2026 ICC Women's T20 World Cup on June 25 at Old Trafford, Manchester. The match will start at 8:30 PM Bangladesh time. India is currently in great form. They are confident after defeating the Netherlands by a huge margin of 95 runs. Openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma are scoring consistently, and the team, led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, is in a strong position in both the batting and bowling departments.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be confident as they have picked up a crucial win over Pakistan in the tournament. However, to win against a strong opposition like India, Nigar Sultana Jyoti, Dilara Akhtar and Marufa Akhtar will need to play their best cricket. A setback for India is the injury to all-rounder Shreyanka Patil. She has been ruled out of the tournament and has been replaced by young leg-spinner Prema Rawat.
Old Trafford in Manchester is known as one of the most balanced T20 wickets in England. The new ball allows the pacers to get some swing and seam movement, especially in the first few overs of the match. Most captains may decide to bowl after winning the toss, as batting can be relatively easier later in the evening match.
On paper, India are the clear favourites. Their batting line-up and bowling attack are much more experienced and stronger than Bangladesh's. However, if Bangladesh can get India's top batsmen out quickly at the start, they can build a competitive edge in the match.
