ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 – India Women vs Bangladesh Women – 22nd Match Prediction
The Women’s World Cup has reached the final league stages, where each victory alters the qualification dynamics. India is currently battling it out in the middle of the table with England, New Zealand, and the West Indies, while Australia and South Africa appear to be in command. India must win this match to keep their qualification hopes alive, while the World Cup debutants stunned Pakistan and came close to defeating the West Indies in their previous game.
A loss to Bangladesh women will effectively end India’s chances of reaching the ICC Women’s World Cup semi-finals in 2022. The Women in Blue are in the same position as defending champions England in terms of points and net run rate, and will need a dominant victory to stay in contention.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, is technically out of the tournament, as their next set of games includes matches against India, Australia, and England.
The game between the two teams, India Women vs Bangladesh Women, will take place on March 22nd, 2022 at Seddon Park in Hamilton.

Pitch and Weather Conditions
The Hamilton pitch is slowing down as the tournament progresses, and we’ve seen a drop in scoring rate over the last 2-3 matches. Due to the sluggish pitch, batsmen will struggle to time the ball, and spinners may be effective in the middle overs. We anticipate a score of 230-240 runs in this match.
According to weather forecasters, Hamilton will have dark and cloudy weather on match day, with a 60-70 percent chance of rain. We anticipate some weather-related breaks and interruptions to the match.
India Women vs Bangladesh Women Head-to-Head
Bangladesh women and India women have played four One-Day International (ODI) matches in the past, with the latter winning all four. The last time the two teams met, India won by nine wickets in a Women’s World Cup qualifier match in 2017.
India Women vs Bangladesh Women Match Prediction
In terms of experience and player quality, India is unquestionably the superior of the two teams. India’s middle order has struggled, and their bowling unit had an off-day in the previous game. Bangladesh will be buoyed by their recent performances in their first World Cup appearance. A victory over India will be regarded as a significant accomplishment for them. However, we believe India will win this match and move up the points table.

- India currently sits fourth in the points table with four points from five matches.
- Bangladesh has two points from four games and is still in the competition.
- In one-day internationals, India has a 4-0 win-loss record against Bangladesh.
