India and Bangladesh shared a point each after the last league stage match of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 was washed out due to rain. India will now face Australia in the second semifinal on Thursday, October 30.
Rain had the final say in India’s last league stage match of the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 against Bangladesh on Sunday, October 29 as the weather prevented a result at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Navi Mumbai.
Having already qualified for the semifinal, India came into this match in what was their only experimental match and with the changes they made, it seemed the Women in Blue are trying to keep some of their players fresh before the Australia semifinal.
Richa Ghosh, Kranti Gaud and Sneh Rana were rested as the Indian team brought in debutant Uma Chetry, Amanjot Kaur and Radha Yadav. However, the Indian team did not had the expected time in the middle.
Only 27 overs could have been bowled in the first over after India opted to bowl first. The Bangladesh side put up 119/9 in the rain-curtailed game as the weather kept making its presence felt in Navi Mumbai. The target for India was then revised to 126 in 27 overs and with Pratika Rawal injured in the first innings, Amanjot Kaur came out to open with Smriti Mandhana.
However, not much action was possible in the run-chase and a window of only 8.4 overs was feasible with India putting 57/0 in the second innings.
