Women's World Cup 2025: Match 28, India Women vs Bangladesh Women Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between IND W vs BAN W?

India Women (IND W) will take on Bangladesh Women (BAN W) in match No. 28 of the ongoing Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, October 26.

With a semi-final spot already secured, India will look to finish the group stage on a high. India has had a rollercoaster tournament so far. After starting with convincing wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan, they suffered three consecutive defeats against South Africa, Australia, and England.

However, the Women in Blue bounced back strongly in their must-win clash against New Zealand, clinching a 53-run victory via the DLS method to confirm their place in the semi-finals as the fourth team. Regardless of the result against Bangladesh, India will finish fourth in the standings and is likely to face either Australia or South Africa in the first semi-final on October 29 in Guwahati. 

Meanwhile, Bangladesh has struggled throughout the tournament, managing just one win in six games. While they have had close matches, but failed to manage to go over the line. With nothing to lose, Nigar Sultana’s team will look to produce a solid performance and spoil India’s party in their final group-stage outing.
