Get all the details of the first ODI between Bangladesh Women and India Women, including the venue, pitch report, probable playing XI, and more. Stay informed about this exciting encounter as both teams aim for victory.
Introduction: The first ODI match between Bangladesh Women and India Women is set to take place at the renowned Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. After a thrilling T20I series where India emerged victorious, Bangladesh Women will be determined to give a strong response, especially after their consolation win in the third T20I.
Bangladesh Women’s Recent Performances: Bangladesh Women have faced limited opportunities to play complete ODI matches due to rain disruptions in their last six encounters since December 2022. Unfortunately, they failed to secure a victory in both of those games. In December 2022, they posted a total of 180 runs for the loss of eight wickets against New Zealand, but the opposition comfortably chased it down. In their most recent ODI against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh collapsed to 128 runs, losing all ten wickets in a low-scoring chase of 187. However, their recent performances in T20Is on the same track, where Indian batters struggled and lost wickets cheaply, gives them hope to exploit this weakness further.
India Women’s Form: India Women displayed dominant performances in the three-match ODI series against England Women in September 2022, sweeping the series convincingly. They are likely to bat with the same top six players in this series. While India has a well-established team, their primary concern is finding their batting form on the spinning track in Dhaka. Overcoming this challenge will be crucial for them.
