Bangladesh Women vs India Women, Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Bangladesh will face India in Match 22 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 at Seddon Park in Hamilton on March 22. Both teams will be looking to get back to winning ways after losing their respective previous encounters. Bangladesh suffered an agonizing four-run defeat at the hands of the West Indies in their last game chasing a paltry total of 141, as they faced a dramatic collapse.

India, on the other hand, will be hoping to overcome their close defeat against the table-toppers Australia by six wickets in the final over of a high-scoring encounter. Despite posting a decent total of 277/7 on the board, the Indian bowlers failed to contain the Aussie batters who made the most of the shorter boundaries at Eden Park in Auckland.

Pitch Report:

While the ongoing tournament has seen the teams batting first ending up on the winning side, the last few matches have witnessed the chasing teams dominating the proceedings, especially in high-scoring contests as well. All the sides bowling first need to restrict the opposition to a manageable total, and rely on a couple of batters to stay at the crease right till the very end.

The Hamilton wicket saw Pakistan register their first win of the competition with an eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in a rain-curtailed encounter. Thus, with light chances of rain reportedly predicted for this game, the captain that wins the toss will look to have a bowl first.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter: Harmanpreet Kaur

Harmanpreet Kaur is India’s most successful batter in this competition so far, having amassed 256 runs from five matches averaging 62. At the same time, she also finds mention in the top-five batters list as well. Kaur’s unbeaten 57 runs off 47 deliveries at the back end of the first innings, helped India in posting a mammoth total against Australia in the last game. The power-hitter would once again be looking forward to playing a match-defining knock against Bangladesh.

Probable best bowler: Pooja Vastrakar

Pooja Vastrakar has been one of the most consistent performers for India with the ball in hand, as she has registered eight scalps from five games at an average of 15, which is simply outstanding. She had finished with figures of 2/43 from her 10 overs at an economy rate of 4.3 by picking up the big wickets of Rachael Haynes and Ellyse Perry, respectively. The promising pacer would once again be expected to provide vital breakthroughs during India’s next fixture against Bangladesh.
