Bangladesh Vs England Live Cricket Score, Women's ODI World Cup 2025: ENG-W Put BAN-W Under Pressure With Regular Breaks

Linsey Smith continues her stellar spell, conceding just eight runs in five overs and keeping Bangladesh tied down with remarkable control. At the other end, Sobhana Mostary was holding firm, while Shorna Akter tried to up the scoring rate. However, just as a small fightback seemed to be forming, captain Charlie Dean struck, Shorna’s attempted sweep resulted in a top edge that was smartly caught by keeper Amy Jones. Bangladesh now find themselves in trouble again at 85-4, with rebuilding to do once more.

Sophie Ecclestone strikes right after the drinks break to give England a crucial breakthrough. Sharmin Akhter, who looked well set on 30, nicks one behind while attempting a cover drive off a ball that bounced more than expected. Amy Jones takes a sharp catch behind the stumps, ending what was turning into a promising stand. Ecclestone finishes the over as a wicket-maiden, putting Bangladesh back under pressure.

Bangladesh are fighting back strongly through Sobhana Mostary and Sharmin Akhter, who are stitching together a steady partnership after early setbacks. Mostary has struck four boundaries in her fluent 18, while Sharmin looks solid on 25. The duo is rotating the strike well and finding a boundary almost every over, easing the early pressure. England will be desperate for a breakthrough to regain momentum.

After a promising start at 21-0 in the first three overs, Bangladesh have lost their early momentum as England’s bowlers tighten the screws. Captain Nigar Sultana Joty departs for a duck, falling to Linsey Smith, who continues her impressive form. A soft dismissal as Sultana’s mistimed push lobs straight to extra cover where Dean takes a sharp catch. England strike twice in quick succession to seize control.

Good comeback from Lauren Bell after an expensive previous over as she draws first blood for England. Rubya Haider departs after mistiming a lofted shot straight to Dunkley at mid-off. The ball held a touch in the surface, forcing the error, and Bell breaks the opening stand to put England on top early.

A quiet and watchful start from Bangladesh after being put in to bat first. The English bowlers have begun with discipline, keeping things tight and nearly finding success with a catch that almost carried in the opening over. Pressure evident on the Bangladeshi openers early on.

The two sides have met only once in Women’s ODI World Cup history. That encounter came in 2022 in Wellington, where England posted a 100-run win. The defending champions will aim to reaffirm their title credentials, while Bangladesh, buoyed by recent form, hope to pull off a giant-killing to enhance their reputation on the global stage.
