Bangladesh Women (BAN W) will take on Pakistan Women (PAK W) on October 2, 2025, at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, in Match No. 3 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025.

The Bangladesh team qualified for the ICC event after winning three out of the five matches of the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier. This marks their second appearance on the global event, following their debut in 2022. In the warm-up fixtures, their clash against South Africa got washed out before they registered a narrow one-run win over Sri Lanka.

On the other hand, Pakistan will be playing their games in Colombo, making the most of the conditions. The Women in Green also had a game washed out from their warm-up fixtures, but also suffered a defeat at the hands of South Africa.

The R. Premadasa Stadium is known to favor batters, with many high-scoring matches played at the venue. However, fast bowlers can exploit some help early on while the spinners will come into play as the game progresses.

Shorna Akter, Fargana Hoque, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana (c) (wk), Sobhana Mostary, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Sumaiya Akter, Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter.

Muneeba Ali, Omaima Sohail, Sidra Amin, Fatima Sana (c), Natalia Pervaiz, Eyman Fatima, Sidra Nawaz (wk), Syeda Aroob Shah, Diana Baig, Rameen Shamim, Nashra Sandhu.

Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana could be the best batter in the upcoming contest. In the warm-up game against South Africa, she scored a 75-ball 64; however, he efforts went in vain, as the opposition clinched a four-wicket victory. Sana hopes to bat similarly in the upcoming game.

The left-arm spinner Nahida Akter could be a key bowler for Bangladesh in their opening game. So far, Akter has taken 69 wickets in 54 matches at an economy rate of 3.82. In the warm-up fixtures, she looked in good rhythm, bagging four wickets in two games. The 25-year-old will be looking to carry the same form in the coming clash.
