Predicting ENG-W’s Playing XI for 8th Match against BAN-W in ICC Women’s World Cup 2025

The ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 is already producing some spectacular games, and England Women (ENG-W) are now riding a wave of confidence after their bowlers decimated South Africa Women’s low score of 69 in Guwahati, for a comprehensive 10-wicket win. England, who have exhibited both depth and firepower in each aspect of the game, showed their class in an overall team performance. Going into the 8th match of the series, where they will take on Bangladesh Women, the expectations are high. 

Openers

Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones make up an exciting England Women’s opening pair. Tammy Beaumont has always been the reliable anchor at the top – and her most recent finishing not out, 21 from 35 balls, vs South Africa in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, not only showed that she can still rotate strike and keep the scoreboard actively moving, but that she is capable of performing in big games. Meanwhile, Jones has been in sensational form, finishing the last match with 40 from 50 balls. Her technique against both pace and spin, and her ability to change gear when needed, make her a brilliant partner for Beaumont. 

Middle Order 

England’s middle order is strengthened with Heather Knight and Nat Sciver-Brunt featuring in it. Heather Knight has yet to bat in that last match, but when it comes to knowledge and composure, she is broken. Sciver-Brunt, showed her all-round swahili in last match with two wickets in the past match, and she translates that onto the batting. She provides a foundation for the middle overs; they can guide the innings. Early wickets, you want to have her bat so you can keep chasing England with momentum still intact. 

All-Rounders 

Linsey Smith and Sophia Ecclestone are the matchwinners. Linsey Smith bowling 3/7 against South Africa was a magician’s spell of left-arm spin. It decimated partnerships and put a chokehold on the run rate. Sophia Ecclestone supported Linsey Smith, bowling 2/19, giving them pressure from the other end, generating an absolute headache for the South African batsmen. Not to mention both are alive with the bat, making them double trouble that could swing the momentum at any stage of an innings. 

Bowlers

Lauren Bell and Charlie Dean spearhead England’s bowling attack. Bell bowls an accurate line and length, wicket-taker, formidable in both Powerplays and middle overs. Charlie Dean has a penchant for taking key wickets and today demonstrated this with her 2/14, under the circumstances of pressure. They will be an outstanding pairing with others to penetrate the fragile batting lineup of Bangladesh.

England Women come into the match against Bangladesh with form, skill, and a balanced XI. Beaumont and Jones on the cusp of firing, Sciver-Brunt and Knight solid in the middle order, Smith and Ecclestone as all-around threats, and Bell and Dean at the helm of the bowling, this team is primed to deliver another commanding performance
