ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 | INDW vs BANW Match Prediction | 23rd Match, Group A – Who Will Win India Women vs Bangladesh Women?

India Women and Bangladesh Women – 23rd Match

The 23rd Match of Group A in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 will see India Women take on Bangladesh Women on Thursday, June 25, at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. The match is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM local time (1:30 PM GMT / 6:30 AM PT / 9:30 AM ET).

India Women enter this contest with a strong and experienced squad led by Harmanpreet Kaur. Their batting lineup features Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh, Yastika Bhatia, and Bharti Fulmali. With Mandhana and Shafali at the top, India have the ability to start aggressively and put pressure on Bangladesh early.

India also have excellent all-round strength through Deepti Sharma, Harmanpreet Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Shreyanka Patil, and Radha Yadav. Deepti Sharma remains one of the key players because of her ability to contribute with both bat and ball, while India’s middle order gives the team good stability.

The bowling attack includes Renuka Singh, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaud, Deepti Sharma, Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav, Nandani Sharma, and Shree Charani. With a strong mix of pace and spin, India have enough options to control the game in both the powerplay and middle overs.

Bangladesh Women, captained by Nigar Sultana Joty, will look to challenge a strong Indian side with discipline and smart cricket. Their batting unit includes Nigar Sultana Joty, Sharmin Akter Supta, Sobhana Mostary, Dilara Akter, Shorna Akter, and Taj Nehar. Nigar Sultana’s experience and calm approach will be very important for Bangladesh in this match.

Bangladesh’s all-round strength comes from Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Rabeya Khan, and Nahida Akter. These players will need to deliver important contributions if Bangladesh want to stay competitive against India’s strong lineup.

The bowling department features Nahida Akter, Marufa Akter, Rabeya Khan, Fahima Khatun, Fariha Islam Trisna, Sultana Khatun, and Shanjida Akther Maghla. Bangladesh have good spin options, and their bowlers will need early wickets to stop India’s top order from taking control of the match.

The Emirates Old Trafford pitch in Manchester generally offers good bounce and balanced conditions. Batters can score well once they settle, while seamers may get movement early with the new ball. Spinners can also play an important role in the middle overs. A first-innings score of around 150-165 could be highly competitive at this venue.

Expert Prediction: India Women have a 78% chance and Bangladesh Women have a 22% winning chance.
