Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, BAN-W vs ENG-W: Team Previews

Bangladesh Women

Bangladesh Women, led by Nigar Sultana, kicked off the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 edition on a winning note by defeating Scotland in a low-scoring thriller. Batting first, Bangladesh could muster only 119 runs, with Sobhana Mostary being the lead sorcerer (36 off 38 balls.) 

However, Scotland's inexperience was exposed as they struggled to keep partnerships. Despite Sarah Bryce's 49 off 52 balls resistance, Scotland fell short of 16 runs in the chase. That being said, Bangladesh will undoubtedly need to improve their batting standards against a quality side like England. Middle order must take responsibility, as the T20 format is all about making small yet impactful partnerships.

England Women

On the other hand, England, a powerhouse in women's cricket, will be aiming for a strong start in the tournament. Though they lost the initial warm-up game against Australia, England bounced back against New Zealand to regain winning momentum. Captain Heather Knight, a seasoned campaigner, will play a key role with her batting brilliance and leadership for England. Additionally, Nat Sciver-Brunt is a match-winner in both bat and ball, and her form will be essential for the team's success. 

That being said, historically, England Women have had the upper hand against Bangladesh Women in T20I encounters as they own a 100% win record. However, with the win against Scotland, Bangladesh's spirits will be high. Hence, fans can expect an entertaining display of cricket as both teams look to make their mark in the high-pressure tournament.
