The match between the Bangladesh Women’s National Cricket Team and the India Women’s National Cricket Team in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 ended in disappointment as rain forced a no result, despite India being firmly in control of the chase. The game was played at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai, and was reduced to 27 overs per side because of multiple rain interruptions. India won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Batting first, Bangladesh Women scored 119/9 in 27 overs. Their innings was anchored by Sharmin Akhter, who made 36 runs off 53 balls, while Sobhana Mostary added a brisk 26 off 21 balls. Bangladesh struggled to build big partnerships as wickets kept falling at regular intervals. The innings never really gained full momentum due to disciplined Indian bowling and the stop-start nature of the rain-hit contest.
For India, Radha Yadav was the standout bowler with 3 wickets for 30 runs in 6 overs. Shree Charani supported her brilliantly with 2 wickets for 23 runs, while Renuka Singh, Deepti Sharma, and Amanjot Kaur chipped in with one wicket each. India’s bowlers maintained tight control and ensured Bangladesh stayed below a challenging total.
In reply, India Women raced to 57/0 in 8.4 overs before rain returned and eventually ended the match. Smriti Mandhana looked in superb touch, remaining unbeaten on 34 off 27 balls, while Amanjot Kaur stayed not out on 15 off 25 balls. India’s revised DLS target was 126 in 27 overs, and they were clearly ahead in the contest when weather stopped play.
Final Scorecard Summary:
Bangladesh Women: 119/9 (27 overs)
India Women: 57/0 (8.4 overs)
Result: No Result (Rain)
Even though there was no winner, India looked dominant with both ball and bat in this rain-affected clash.c
