Match Preview
It is the fifth game of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 as England will take on Bangladesh in their opening encounter. England come into the tournament as one of the most fancied sides along with Australia and India to win the tournament. Bangladesh will look to dive deep and cause a huge upset by potentially beating England on Saturday.
Bangladesh (BAN-W) started their tournament with a 16-run win over Scotland. It was a huge win as the Nigar Sultana-led side still have to play England, South Africa, and West Indies next. With the surfaces in UAE more or less similar to home conditions, one can expect the Bangladeshi team to feel at home.
England (ENG-W) will start yet another tournament as one of the favorites. Heather Knight and her team have a team of superstars who can do well with the bat and ball. The likes of Dani Wyatt, Alice Capsey, and Nat Sciver-Brunt are counted as one of the most dangerous players in the T20 format.
