The eighth fixture of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 promises a captivating showdown as England Women take on Bangladesh Women on October 7th at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati. The action begins at 3:00 PM IST, with both teams entering the contest high on confidence after dominant victories in their opening games. A win here could be pivotal in setting the tone for the remainder of their campaigns.
Bangladesh made a strong statement in their opener, outclassing Pakistan by 7 wickets. Their bowlers — Marufa Akter (2/31) and Nahida Akter (2/19) — set the tone by dismissing Pakistan for 129, before Rubya Haider (54* off 77) and Sobhana Mostary (24* off 19) calmly guided them to victory.
England, too, began their World Cup journey in style, steamrolling South Africa in a one-sided affair. After opting to bowl first, they bundled the Proteas out for just 69, courtesy of a clinical display from Linsey Smith (3/4) and Nat Sciver-Brunt (2/5). In response, Amy Jones’ unbeaten 40 off 50 ensured a commanding 10-wicket win, marking England’s intent early in the tournament.
