Last Match Performances

Bangladesh Women

Bangladesh began with a seven wicket victory over Pakistan; they overtook 130 in 31.1 overs. Rubya Haider finished 50 not out and controlled the middle order – captain Nigar Sultana steered the chase from the other end. The win lifts spirits, yet England’s batting line up poses a level of pace and placement Bangladesh has not yet faced in the competition.

England Women

England opened with a ten wicket win against South Africa. They dismissed the side for 69 – Tammy Beaumont besides Amy Jones knocked off the runs in 11.2 overs. The top order never looked in trouble but also the squad’s deep batting card and tight field settings leave little room for opponents to recover once momentum swings.

Key Players to Watch

Bangladesh Women

• Rubya Haider – She bats with steady timing and holds one end together when wickets fall.
• Nigar Sultana – The captain keeps wicket and bats in the middle order – she has led the side for years.
• Marufa Akter besides Shorna Akter – Two spinners who bowl in tandem plus will use the dry home pitch to trouble England’s batters.

England Women

• Tammy Beaumont – She opens and turns twenty five into seventy five more often than most openers on the circuit.
• Amy Jones – She bats anywhere in the top six and scores at better than a run a ball in the first six overs.
• Nat Sciver-Brunt – She bowls medium pace but also bats at four – one good spell or fifty can decide the game.
• Linsey Smith – Left-arm spinner who flights the new ball and fires it flat through the middle overs.

Match Outlook

Bangladesh’s slow bowlers will aim to choke England between overs 7 and 15. England’s seamers must strike early and keep the run rate above six to set the pattern. Bangladesh’s top three face the new ball swing of Katherine Sciver-Brunt or Lauren Bell – how they cope shapes the innings.

If Bangladesh post 240 as well as strike twice in the first ten overs, the contest tightens. England bat to number eight and carry two front line spinners – they start as favourites.

Conclusion

On 7 October in Guwahati, Bangladesh will bank on crowd noise and a turning pitch. England want two points besides an unbroken winning streak. The game will turn on which side reads the surface faster and misses fewer chances.
