engw vs banw Match Prediction & Analysis

Defending champions England Women would be aiming for a berth in the semifinals as they play Bangladesh Women in the 27th game of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022. England Women have looked in good form and they come here after a massive win against Pakistan Women. Bangladesh has struggled in the tournament, and they went down against Australia Women in the last game. 

Bangladesh Women have won just one game in the tournament. The side has been let down by its batters as we have seen batting collapses too often in this tournament. England Women come here with momentum on their side and they would look to do well and earn a guaranteed place in the semifinals. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

England Women Preview

After a poor start that saw them losing the first three games Heather Knight’s side has made a strong comeback winning three games in a row. It was a convincing show from the side against Pakistan Women in the last game where they won by 9 wickets.  Knight would want to ride this momentum and book a berth in the semifinals with a win in this game. 

Tammy Beaumont and Danielle Wyatt have been in good form and the side would like to see a strong start from them in this game. Knight has gained form and she must anchor the innings in the middle overs along with Natalie Sciver and Amy Ellen Jones. Sophia Dunkley, Emma Lamb, and Katherine Brunt add to the side’s batting strengths with their hitting abilities. 

Katherine Brunt and Anya Shrubsole are in excellent form, and they will aim to trouble the shaky batting line-up that Bangladesh has. Sophie Ecclestone looked good in the last game, and she will look to keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs with Kate Cross and Natalie Sciver. Knight with her experience balances this bowling attack.

England Women Predicted Playing XI:

Heather Knight (c), Tammy Beaumont, Danielle Wyatt, Natalie Sciver, Amy Ellen Jones (wk), Sophia Dunkley, Katherine Brunt, Sophie Ecclestone, Kate Cross, Emma Lamb, Anya Shrubsole

England Women Actual Playing XI:

Danielle Wyatt, Sophia Dunkley Brown, Sophie Ecclestone, Charlotte Dean, Kate Cross, Amy Ellen Jones, Tammy Beaumont, Heather Knight, Natalie Sciver, Freya Davies, Katherine Brunt

Bangladesh Women Preview

It has been a sad campaign for Nigar Sultana’s side. All they can boast about is a win against Pakistan Women in the tournament. They lost the last game against Australia Women by 5 wickets, but the side did put the Aussies under pressure with early wickets while defending a low total. As they play their last game the side would like to finish on a high. 

Their performance with the bat has been terrible and the side would need a good start in this game from Shamima Sultana and Murshida Khatun. Fargana Hoque, Sultana, and Rumana Ahmed haven’t contributed much with the bat and the side would expect a good show from them in this game. Lata Mondal and Salma Khatun shall have to contribute with the bat down the order for the side to win this game. 

Salma Khatun and Jahanara Alam did well with the ball in the last game and the side would like to see similar efforts from them in this game. Lata Mondal and Nahida Akter have been inconsistent, and they have to come up with tight spells in the middle overs with England having a strong batting line-up. Fahima Khatun and Ritu Moni must do well in the supporting role. 

Bangladesh Women Predicted Playing XI:

Nigar Sultana (c & wk), Murshida Khatun, Sharmin Akhter, Fargana Hoque, Rumana Ahmed, Ritu Moni, Lata Mondal, Salma Khatun, Fahima Khatun, Nahida Akter, Jahanara Alam

Bangladesh Women Actual Playing XI:

Nahida Akter, Jahanara Alam, Lata Mondal, Fargana Hoque, Nigar Sultana, Sharmin Akhter, Fahima Khatun, Rumana Ahmed, Ritu Moni, Shamima Sultana, Salma Khatun

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Wellington would be cloudy on March 27 and we might see rains during the game. The batting surface has been good and we expect the ball coming onto the bat nicely. Big scores have been made at this venue. The side batting first would aim to put 250 runs on the board here.

Venue Details

The wicket at Basin Reserve, Wellington is a good surface to bat on and batters have done well at this venue in the past. Fast bowlers get the ball to bounce and swing in the early overs troubling batsmen. Spinners have also done well here as they can toss the ball up thanks to the large size of the venue.

Toss: To Bowl

It has been a high-scoring venue where bowlers have found assistance only in the early overs of the game. The wicket becomes good to bat on as the game progresses. The side winning the toss would want to make use of the conditions by opting to bowl first on the wicket.
