ICC Women's World Cup Warm-Up Match 2022, Bangladesh Women vs England Women: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report and Weather Forecast

Bangladesh Women will take on England Women in the fourth warm-up match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 in Lincoln Green.

Bangladesh recently took part in the Commonwealth Games Women’s Cricket Qualifier 2022. They fared well in the competition, winning three of their four games. They lost their last match against Sri Lanka, but won their first three games comprehensively. Bangladesh will hope to replicate that performance at the World Cup, starting on March 4.

Nigar Sultana has been handed the responsibility of leading the side. The likes of Salma Khatun, Fahima Khatun and Jahanara Alam could play key roles too. They will look to adapt to the conditions quickly, and start their campaign on a positive note.

England, meanwhile, have been struggling recently. Against Australia in the 2022 Ashes, they failed to win a single game. They suffered a whitewash in the three-match ODI series too. England will look to turn their fortunes around in the upcoming global event.

Heather Knight will continue to lead England. They have decent experience in their ranks, and will look to lift the ODI World Cup for the second consecutive year.
