Bangladesh Women vs India Women, 1st T20I: Head-to-head and other key stats

After a disappointing loss in their first ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Warm-up match against Australia Women, India Women (IND-W) are set to face Bangladesh Women (BAN-W) in their second and final warm-up game ahead of the highly anticipated tournament. The Indian team had a lackluster performance against the formidable Australians and will be determined to address their batting woes in the upcoming fixture. On the other hand, the Bangladesh Women’s team faced defeat against Pakistan Women in their opening warm-up game, which was a one-sided affair.

Nigar Sultana, the captain of the Bangladesh side, will be hoping for an improved performance from her players as they gear up for their campaign opener against Sri Lanka Women on February 12. In this crucial warm-up match, one of the key players to watch out for in the Indian lineup is Smriti Mandhana. The talented top-order batter has been going through a lean patch recently, failing to score runs in three out of her last five outings. However, Mandhana’s track record and experience on the international stage make her a formidable threat to the Bangladeshi bowlers. She will be eager to regain her form before the main tournament gets underway.

Another player to keep an eye on is Shikha Pandey, the veteran Indian pacer. Pandey showcased her skills in the previous warm-up match against Australia, delivering an impressive performance with figures of 2/9 in her three overs. As a key member of the Indian bowling unit, Pandey brings experience and skill to the team, especially alongside her new ball partner, Renuka Singh. The stage is set for an exciting clash between India Women and Bangladesh Women as the countdown to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup draws closer.
