Bangladesh vs England is an uncommon contest in women’s cricket. In fact, neither team has even played against each other outside ICC tournaments.
And they also faced each other for the first time not too long ago. Bangladesh and England faced off in women’s cricket for the first time in 2014.
It was a T20 World Cup fixture, which England won, though not without some hiccups. Bangladesh’s controlled bowling attack kept England below 140. Although Bangladesh couldn’t chase the total, it showed their potential.
And Bangladesh will get another chance to display their potential in full force against England in the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup. Both teams will square off in their league stage encounter on October 7, 2025, in Guwahati.
Here you can look at the head-to-head timeline between Bangladesh women and England women, including notable records and highlights.
