England vs Bangladesh Women Predictions


The sensible bet will back England… but there’s incredible value in a Bangladesh win. Bangladesh are largely unknown to England and have some exciting players in their side. If they hit their straps, I believe Bangladesh can rock England. 

  • Bangladesh Women’s Marufa Akter has figures of 2/38, 1/27, 2/8, 2/49 & 2/31 in her last 5 matches.
  • Bangladesh Women’s Rubya Haider has scored 27, 33 & 54* in her last 3 innings.
  • England Women’s Nat Sciver-Brunt averages 46.5 in WODIs.
  • England Women’s Amy Jones has scored 39 & 40* in her last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head


England Women won the only previous WODI between the two teams, back in March 2022.  

England Women Form


England made it three wins from their last five matches when they beat South Africa by 10 wickets. 

England needed just 20.4 overs to roll South Africa for 69 runs. All five bowlers were excellent, but Linsey Smith (3/7, econ 1.75) was the pick of the bunch. 

England needed just 14.1 overs to knock off the runs needed for the 10-wicket win. Tammy Beaumont (21*) and Amy Jones (40*) did the job with the bat for England.

England Women Team News


England thumped South Africa in their opener, but they had things so easy I wonder if they might be a tad too relaxed against “unfavoured” Bangladesh. Remember that England have lost seven of their last 14 WODIs…

Bangladesh Women Form


Bangladesh bounced back from back-to-back defeats to beat Pakistan by seven wickets to make it three wins in five matches.

Marufa Akter (2/31, econ 4.42) struck twice in two balls in the first over to reduce Pakistan to 0/2. Nahida Akter (2/19, econ 2.37) and Shorna Akter (3/5, econ 1.42) ran through the rest of the Pakistan batters as they crumbled to 29 all out off 38.3 overs.

Rubya Haider top-scored with 54* off 77 balls as Bangladesh eased home for a seven-wicket win with 18.5 overs in hand.

Bangladesh Women Team News


Bangladesh have won eight of their last 12 matches, including a comprehensive win over Pakistan in their World Cup opener. 

Verdict

I am backing Bangladesh Women to win. I am also backing Marufa Akter to top score for Bangladesh Women.

Nat Sciver-Brunt is a good bet to top score for the England Women.
