Bangladesh have pulled off a commanding start in the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup. They faced Scotland in the inaugural game and registered a 16-run victory. Bangladesh will aim to continue their winning momentum when they take on England in the second group fixture. The big-ticket contest will take place at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 5.
England lifted the Women’s T20 World Cup title in its first edition in 2009. They were able to reach the final in 2012, 2014 and 2018 but lost to Australia on every occasion.
Under the captaincy of Heather Knight, England hope to end their wait for the second title this time in the UAE. They featured in two warm-up matches ahead of the tournament. They failed to overcome their arch-rivals Australia in the first practice game and lost by 33 runs.
England bounced back in the next outing and beat New Zealand by five wickets. Meanwhile, Bangladesh entered the main event after crushing Pakistan in a warm-up match. They replicated the dominant performance against Scotland who managed only 103 runs while chasing 120.
