Bangladesh Women Team News
Bangladesh will rely on key performers such as skipper and wicketkeeper Nigar Sultana, Rubya Haider, Nishita Akter Nishi, and Sumaiya Akter to lead their charge. While the team has shown promise, it lacks the experience and depth of the English squad.
Bangladesh will need their batters to take full advantage of the early batting-friendly conditions and for their bowlers to execute disciplined lines and variations to challenge the English batters. The task will be tough, but Bangladesh can cause trouble if they play their strengths effectively.
Bangladesh Women (predicted playing XI): Fargana Hoque, Rubya Haider, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana(w/c), Sobhana Mostary, Shorna Akter, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter, Nishita Akter Nishi
