India captain Harmanpreet Kaur won the toss and opted to bowl against Bangladesh in the 28th match of the Women's ODI World Cup 2025, taking place at Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai. Notably, this is a dead rubber clash as India have already sealed their berth in the semifinal of the mega event after a dominating win against New Zealand in their last outing. On the other hand, Bangladesh are out from the semifinals race. India wicketkeeper batter Uma Chetry gets her debut cap against Bangladesh from Smriti Mandhana. This means Richa Ghosh will miss this clash.
India Women vs Bangladesh Women ODI head-to-head
India and Bangladesh Women's cricket teams have played eight ODIs against each other, where the Women in Blue hold the edge, winning six, Bangladesh managed to win one, and a clash between them was ended in a tie.
Captains at the toss
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur
We're going to bowl first. Because of the overcast conditions, we thought bowling would be a good decision. She's going to debut today (Uma Chetry). Richa is resting. Two more players are resting - Kranti and Sneh Rana. Had the self-belief that we can change this (after three losses).
Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana
Kind of good for us because our bowlers have been doing well. Have to give them a good total to defend. Was pretty difficult (getting over SL defeat). Have to move on and play our A game. The way our bowlers have been bowling, and looking at the conditions, 230-plus can be a good total.
