The Indian Women's team is ready to kick off their limited overs tour of Bangladesh, which will feature three T20Is and three ODIs. The tour starts off with the first T20I scheduled at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on July 9. Indian Women have dominated Bangladesh in the format, but the Lady Tigers will fancy their chances on their home turf. Bangladesh will also take confidence from the fact that they have beaten India twice in the last 5 T20Is.
In their last T20I series, Bangladesh Women faced a 1-2 loss at home against Sri Lanka in May this year.
They have a nice blend of experience and youth in their squad for the three-match series. Nigar Sultana, the captain, and Shamima Sultana will play crucial roles in determining the team's batting performance, alongside Dilara Akter, Sobhana Mostary, Murshida Khatun, and Shorna Akter. Sultana, particularly, will be the mainstay of their batting. The experienced batter has scored 271 runs in the last 10 matches at an average of 30.11 and a strike-rate of 98.54.
Thanks to her impressive performance in the domestic season, Shathi Rani has the chance to make her debut in one of the matches.
Given that only two pace bowlers, Marufa Akter and the uncapped Disha Biswas, have been selected, the bulk of the bowling responsibility will fall on the spin attack. This includes Salma, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Ritu Mondol, Sanjida Akter, and Sultana Khatun. We are backing Fahima (7 wickets in the last 7 matches at an economy of 6.34) and Marufa (7 wickets in the last 7 matches at an economy of 6.87) to make an impact in this game.

India Women last played a T20I in February this year – the semi-final of the T20 World Cup against Australia. They lost that match by 5 runs. The team hasn’t played a T20I game since and are expected to be a little rusty.
Once again Smriti Mandhana will be India’s top batter to watch out for in the series. The stylish left-handed batter has been in great form this year and has scored 237 runs in 9 matches at an average of 33.85 and a strike-rate of 127.41. She has one fifty in 11 innings against Bangladesh, and would be eager to change that in this series.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur (227 runs in the last 9 matches at an average of 37.83 and a strike rate of 117) will provide stability in the middle. Harmanpreet has scored 284 runs in 11 matches against Bangladesh at an average of 31.55 with two fifties. Her experience will certainly help the team in this series.
We are also backing Jemimah Rodrigues to do well in this series. She was in good form in the T20 World Cup this year and will enjoy batting on this pitch.
Spinner Deepti Sharma (15 wickets in the last 10 matches at an economy of 6.69) and fast bowler Pooja Vastrakar (4 wickets in the last 7 matches at 6.87) will be the main bowlers for India in this series. Deepti, especially, will find purchase on this wicket, and will keep the opposition batters in check.

The track at the Shere Bangla National Stadium helps batters and spinners. Batters usually have a good time here. But once the pitch slows down a little spinners come into play. They should get plenty of grip from this surface and handling quality spin bowling in the middle overs won’t be easy.
The weather in Dhaka on the day of the game will have times of clouds and sun with a thunderstorm in spots. It will be breezy in the afternoon.
The average score batting first in women’s T20Is at the Shere Bangla National Stadium is 107. The highest total posted at the venue is 140/5 by Australia Women in 2014. The team batting first in this game must look to post a total in the range of 130-140 runs.
There have been a total of six women’s T20I matches played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium; four out of those have been won by the team batting second while two have been won by the side batting first. The team winning the toss in this game is likely to field first.
India Women hold an 11-2 head-to-head record against Bangladesh Women in T20 cricket. On paper, they do look like the superior side, despite having rested some experienced players. They have a strong batting unit and a couple of experienced bowlers who can make life difficult for Bangladeshi batters. Bangladesh will be counting on their captain to lead from the front. Another thing that gives them an edge is their battery of spinners, who will be more than handy on this surface.
We are backing India Women as the winners of this match.
