India Women will face Bangladesh Women in the 28th match of the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 on Sunday, October 26. The game will be played at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai.

Harmanpreet Kaur’s team has already secured a semifinal spot. They will meet Australia on October 30. India now want to close the group stage with confidence and momentum.

India’s Strong Campaign

India began their campaign with a 59-run (DLS) win over Sri Lanka. They showed patience and smart planning. Next, they defeated Pakistan by 88 runs, proving their strength at home.

India have played consistent cricket throughout the tournament. The team has shown balance in batting, bowling, and fielding. They now look to carry that form into the knockouts.

Bangladesh Seek Positive Finish

Bangladesh Women sit at the bottom of the table with only one win. Still, they have shown fight and determination. They opened their campaign with a smart win over Pakistan, defending a low total. Against England, they came close to a huge upset. Bangladesh reduced the defending champions to 103/6 before Heather Knight saved her team.

Bangladesh will try to end their campaign with pride and test India with their sharp bowling.

India Dominate Head-to-Head

India hold a strong record against Bangladesh. However, recent matches have been close and competitive. Their last meeting came during India’s 2023 tour of Bangladesh. The series ended 1-1, with one match tied. Both teams will look to bring that same fight to Navi Mumbai.

Fans can expect another tight contest under the lights on Sunday.

Pitch Report

The Dr. DY Patil pitch is great for batting. It offers good bounce and value for shots. Batters can score freely once they settle in.

However, rain could interrupt play. The forecast predicts a 75% chance of showers on Sunday morning. Captains may prefer to bowl first if conditions are uncertain.
