England Women will take on Bangladesh Women in Match 8 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on October 7. The contest features a strong England side, four-time World Cup champions, led by captain Nat SPE-Bruntagainst a determined Bangladesh team led by Nigar sulta. England are overwhelming favourites given their depth and experience, while Bangladesh will look to continue their positive start from their win against Pakistan.

England come into this match with a perfect record after comfortably defeating South Africa by 10 wickets in their opener. The side boasts a star-studded line-up including Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, Heather Knight, and spin spearhead Sophie Ecclestone. Knight’s return from injury provides stability to the middle order, while the pace attack featuring Lauren Bell and Emily Arlott offers a fine mix of youth and skill in subcontinental conditions. England’s balanced squad of experienced batters, versatile all-rounders like Sciver-Brunt, and a strong spin quartet makes them a formidable force aiming for their fifth title.

Bangladesh, led by Sultana (captain and wicketkeeper), have shown signs of promise with a notable win over Pakistan by 7 wickets. Sharmin aft, Fargana Hoqueand Nahida akter are among the key performers as Bangladesh combines youthful enthusiasm with some experienced campaigners. The spinners Fahima khatun, rabeya khanand Shorna Akter will be crucial for Bangladesh, especially on a pitch that assists spin bowlers as the match progresses.

Barsapara Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

Barsapara Cricket Stadium is known for being batting-friendly, generally producing high-scoring games with consistent bounce and pace early on. The pitch tends to slow down in later overs, bringing spinners into contention during the middle overs. Dew in the second innings is expected and could reduce the effectiveness of spin, favoring the chasing side. Past matches at the venue suggest the advantage lies slightly with the team batting second. England’s combination of quality batters and varied spin options suits the pitch conditions very well, while Bangladesh will rely heavily on their spinners to trouble the English batters.
