IND W vs BAN W Toss Update: The 28th match of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 is being played between India and Bangladesh. Both the teams are facing each other at Dr. DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai.

In such a situation, an exciting match can be seen. At the same time, Women in Blue would like to strengthen their preparations before the semis.
It will not be easy to stop the Indian opening pair
The batting of the Indian women’s team seems to be the most lethal at the moment. Especially the pair of openers Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal is making a splash. In the last match against England, both of them together created havoc with the bat. Both Smriti and Pratika had scored centuries. Smriti had scored 109 runs and Raval had scored 125 runs. In such a situation, eyes will be on both of them even today. If Bangladesh wants to make some changes, then it is necessary to dispose of these two batsmen cheaply.
Middle order Indian batsmen will be litmus test
This is the best opportunity to test the Indian middle order before the semi-finals. So far, Deepti Sharma has shouldered the burden, while Harleen Deol and Harmanpreet Kaur have contributed in some matches. But there is going to be a clash with Australia in the semis. In such a situation, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harman, Harleen and Deepti would like to maintain their form in the middle order against Bangladesh. However, today in Team India, Uma Chhetri has got a chance as a wicketkeeper in the playing 11 by ousting Richa Ghosh.
