Nasir Uddin Faruqe: Bangladesh are coming into the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup on the back of being runners‑up in a tri‑series involving Scotland and Netherlands after suffering a 3‑0 home series defeat to Sri Lanka.

Their overall record of just three wins in 25 World Cup matches defines the scale of the challenge they will face in the competition, where they are placed in a group alongside Australia, India, and South Africa.

It’s the first time Bangladesh will play in England and despite the odds being daunting, the tournament offers a rare chance for the Nigar Sultana Joty-led side to overturn history and redefine their batting narrative.
