PAK-W vs BAN-W, Women’s ODI World Cup Match Prediction: Who will win today’s game between Pakistan Women and Bangladesh Women?

Pakistan Women and Bangladesh Women are set to face each other in a crucial clash of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Both sides will be eager to strengthen their position in the group stage and push closer to the knockout rounds.

The tournament has already seen several tightly fought matches and this contest has the potential to add to the drama. Pakistan come into the fixture with a balanced squad that has shown moments of promise in both batting and bowling departments. Bangladesh on the other hand continue to rely on their collective approach and the leadership of Nigar Sultana to compete effectively against stronger sides.

Pakistan’s batting revolves around the consistency of Sidra Amin at the top and the power-hitting abilities of Omaima Sohail and Aliya Riaz in the middle order. Muneeba Ali also adds stability at the start while Eyman Fatima and Shawaal Zulfiqar bring fresh attacking options. The bowling attack is led by skipper Fatima Sana along with the experienced Diana Baig and the spin of Nashra Sandhu and Sadia Iqbal. Pakistan’s ability to strike early with the ball could be a decisive factor at Colombo.

Bangladesh will look to their experienced anchors like Fargana Hoque and Sharmin Akhter to set up totals and provide resilience against a probing bowling unit. Sobhana Mostary and Shorna Akter offer youthful energy in the middle order while skipper Sultana’s wicketkeeping and batting form remain central to the team’s success. Their spin department with Nahida Akter and Fahima Khatun can exploit the conditions while Marufa Akter and Fariha Trisna provide seam options. Bangladesh’s challenge will be to build partnerships and avoid collapses under pressure.
