In the 5th match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) are set to face Netherlands Women (NED-W) on Sunday at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Bangladesh entered the tournament with a balanced squad and plenty of confidence under the leadership of wicketkeeper-batter Nigar Sultana. Meanwhile, the Netherlands Women arrive at the World Cup after an impressive qualification campaign and will be eager to make their mark on the global stage.

Nigar Sultana continues to lead the Bangladesh side, with vice-captain Nahida Akter providing strong support. Bangladesh’s biggest strength is their spin-bowling attack, which has consistently performed well in major tournaments. Nahida Akter, Fahima Khatun, Shorna Akter, and Sultana Khatun will play key roles with the ball.

On the other hand, Netherlands Women are set to play in their first-ever Women’s T20 World Cup. They will be led by Babette de Leede. The batting department will rely on players such as Iris Zwilling, Robine Rijke, Sterre Kalis, Phebe Molkenboer, and Sanya Khurana to deliver strong performances.
