India vs Bangladesh (India women’s cricket team vs Bangladesh women’s cricket team) LIVE SCORE: Hello and a very warm welcome to News18 CricketNext’s coverage of the final league stage game in the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 as India take on Bangladesh at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai.
India chose to bowl after winning the dealyed toss against Bangladesh, making three changes to their playing eleven, introducing Uma Chetry, Radha Yadav, and Amanjot Kaur in place of the rested Richa Ghosh, Kranti Gaud, and Sneh Rana.
There are no dead rubbers in a World Cup, even if it’s a match between a semi-finalist and the last-placed team, which has long been ruled out of the race. India is desperate for some momentum — they won their first two matches, lost the next three before beating New Zealand, and did all that with regularly changing strategies, team combinations, and ideas. They’d know it’s high time they zero in on the best tactic.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, have shown some big fights throughout. They beat Pakistan in the first match and lost five on the trot after that, but some were narrow losses with nothing to show for the effort. Getting a second win to prove they have the caliber of beating semi-final worthy sides would do wonders for their future.
Toss: India won the toss and opted to bowl.

India: Pratika Rawal, Smriti Mandhana, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Harmanpreet Kaur(c), Deepti Sharma, Uma Chetry(w), Amanjot Kaur, Radha Yadav, Shree Charani, Renuka Singh Thakur
