England Women will clash with Bangladesh Women in the 8th match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati, on Tuesday, October 7. After strong starts, both teams are in good form. England defeated South Africa by 10 wickets, bowling out the Proteas for just 69 runs. Meanwhile, Bangladesh chased 130 runs from Pakistan in 31.1 overs, winning by seven wickets.

Currently, England are third, while Bangladesh are fourth, separated only by net run rate.

Head-to-Head Record

This will be only the second ODI meeting between England and Bangladesh. Previously, in March 2022 during the last World Cup, England posted 234/6 and bowled out Bangladesh for 134, winning by 100 runs.

Although England have more experience and squad depth, Bangladesh’s growing confidence and recent form could make this a competitive match.

Outlook

Given their experience, England are favourites. However, Bangladesh’s confidence and momentum make them a serious threat. Thus, this match could be closely contested and exciting for fans.

Pitch Report

The Guwahati pitch is expected to favor spin as the game progresses. Initially, the surface offers good bounce and carry, which helps pacers and batters alike.

Therefore, batters will need patience. The pitch is slow and steady, and spinners may dominate the middle overs with slower balls and tight lines. Overall, the surface is unlikely to deteriorate much, keeping batting fair throughout the innings.

Weather Report

There were minor weather concerns, but a full match is expected. Guwahati will see partly cloudy skies with a 25% chance of rain during the day. Light rain may occur at night, also with a 25% probability.

Meanwhile, temperatures will range from 24°C to 31°C, humidity will stay high at 82%, and winds will blow from the southwest at 6 mph.
