BAN Women Team News & Playing 11
BANW Team News
In the only change the Tigers have made so far, Murshida Khatun opened the batting in place of Ayasha Rahman and, after a good innings, is likely to retain her place.
BANW Key Players
Nahida Akter: After six wickets in the first two matches, the Tigers’ in-form bowler claimed 1-10 from two overs last time out to continue her good form.
Fahima Khatun: No wickets so far, but her economical bowling has been key to Bangladesh’s success. She also proved a canny lower-order hitter with 32 from 18 balls in the second game.
Ritu Moni: Though her batting, at number four, has not yet matched her bowling, she has four wickets with the ball and claimed a run-out last time out too.
BANW Team Form
Bangladesh stormed through the group stage with three wins from three matches so far. Their bowling has been central to their success, with Nahida Akter claiming three wickets in each of the first two games; it helped them bowl the USA out for 46 before restricting Papua New Guinea to 52/5 chasing a rain-reduced 59 from eight overs.
Last time out, the Tigers sealed top spot in the group by beating hosts Scotland. They scored 104/4 from 17 overs before the rain came, and then restricted the Scots to 49/6 from eight overs - well short of the DLS target.

IRE Women Team News & Playing 11
IREW Team News
Ireland have fielded the same 11 for all three matches so far and it could be the same team that lines up against Bangladesh too.
IREW Key Players
Kim Garth: Ireland’s leading run scorer with 69 from the first three matches, including 22* and 39 in her first two innings, and the all-rounder took a wicket against Thailand too.
Eimear Richardson: Two wickets in each of the first three matches, plus two in the warm-up too, highlights the importance of the experienced off-spinner’s bowling. She has also scored 18* and 21 in her last two innings at a good strike rate.
Leah Paul: After a wicket apiece in each of the first two matches, the left-arm medium-pace bowler took 3-10 against Thailand last time out – the 19-year-old’s best WT20i bowling figures so far.
IREW Team Form
Ireland looked good in the warm-up match and carried that into the main tournament too with two good wins to open up. They beat Namibia by seven wickets after restricting them to 83/9 and then successfully defended 120/6 to beat the Netherlands by 19 runs. They fell just short last time out, however – Leah Paul’s 3-10 helped restrict Thailand to 92/7 from 17 overs, but Ireland finished just short on 90/9 from the same amount of overs.
IRE Women Predicted Playing 11
