England Women will face Bangladesh Women in Match 8 of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Tuesday, October 07. Both teams are coming off victories from their opening matches, with England defeating South Africa convincingly by 10 wickets, and Bangladesh winning by seven wickets over Pakistan.

The two teams currently hold the third and fourth place, with only Net Run Rate (NRR) differentiating them. Notably, England and Bangladesh have squared off against each other only once in the 50-over format, with England winning by 100 runs.

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is renowned for being a batting-friendly surface. The pitch generally offers good bounce and carry, allowing batters to play their shots with confidence, particularly in the early stages of the innings. Fast bowlers may also find some assistance upfront due to the pace on offer. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down slightly, bringing spinners into play, though it largely remains favourable for batting throughout the contest.

Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones(w), Heather Knight, Nat Sciver-Brunt(c), Sophia Dunkley, Emma Lamb, Alice Capsey, Charlotte Dean, Sophie Ecclestone, Linsey Smith, Lauren Bell

Fargana Hoque, Rubya Haider, Sharmin Akhter, Nigar Sultana(w/c), Sobhana Mostary, Shorna Akter, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Rabeya Khan, Marufa Akter, Nishita Akter Nishi

Rubya Haider has been in amazing form recently, consistently scoring runs for her team. She displayed her brilliance in the first game by scoring an unbeaten fifty to guide Bangladesh home against Pakistan. The 28-year-old will be confident to bat in the same way against a team like England.

Linsey Smith bagged a three-wicket haul in England's dominant 10-wicket victory over South Africa. The left-arm spinner is set to once again use the Guwahati conditions to her benefit and trouble the opposition batters. Smith will have the responsibility to dominate in the middle-overs and unsettle the Bangladeshi batters.
