Fast & Interesting FAQs
Who has the edge overall in Bangladesh Women vs India Women matches? India dominates heavily (especially in ODIs with multiple whitewashes), but Bangladesh’s 2018 Asia Cup final win and recent T20 upsets prove they’re no pushovers anymore.
What was the biggest upset in this rivalry? The 2018 Asia Cup Final – Bangladesh chased 113 off the last ball in Kuala Lumpur to snatch their maiden title and end India’s six-year reign. Pure thunder!
Has there ever been a tied match between them? Yes! The 2023 Dhaka 3rd ODI ended tied at 225 – Fargana Hoque’s maiden century vs Harleen Deol’s 77 turned a dead-rubber into a blood feud with street riots outside.
Why do T20s give Bangladesh more hope than ODIs? Shorter format suits their aggression and spin bite – they’ve pulled off thrillers like 2018. ODIs remain India’s fortress with experience and depth grinding Bangladesh down.
What’s next for this rivalry in 2026? Eyes on the postponed bilateral series possibly in September 2026 in Bangladesh. With WPL stars clashing and young guns rising, could the Tigers finally flip the script at home?
