Match Called Off Due to Rain | India vs Bangladesh ICC Women's World Cup 2025 Highlights: IND-W vs BAN-W Ends in Washout, Teams Share Point Each

The match has been called off in Navi Mumbai after the rain had stopped play in India's innings. Rain has had a dominant role to play in the IND-W vs BAN-W ICC Women's World Cup 2025 match, interrupting the match a number of times and eventually, both teams have to share a point each. That brings an end to the group stage in the ICC Women's World Cup 2025, which has been marred by rain.  After the match was reduced to 27 overs per side. Bangladesh, batting first, scored 119/9 after losing wickets in a heap. In response, India were 57/0 in 8.4 overs before the heavens opened up once again and this time, it was for good as the IND-W vs BAN-W match was eventually called off due to rain. Smriti Mandhana (34*) was batting with Amanjot Kaur (15*) when the match was called off. India finished with seven points in fourth place and will take on Australia in the second ICC Women's World Cup 2025 semi-final. England and South Africa will meet in the first ICC Women's World Cup 2025 semi-final on October 29. Bangladesh, on the other hand, finished seventh with one win in seven matches and three points in their kitty. Thanks for joining us for the coverage!

The rain is back and has stopped play once again! The players and umpires are walking off as the drizzle has only gotten heavier. We will likely witness the game being reduced further. 

Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty has suffered an injury to her finger as well. The wicketkeeper dropped Amanjot Kaur's catch and seemed to be in a lot of pain. The medics rushed out to the field to treat her. 

Smriti Mandhana and Amanjot Kaur have taken India to a strong start here. Smriti Mandhana in particular has looked impressive like she has all throughout the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 and India will wantthis stand to continue. 

Amanjot Kaur has walked out to open the innings alongside Smriti Mandhana after Pratika Rawal's injury. This is an interesting call and the first over bowled by Marufa Akter yielded four runs. 

Bangladesh finish with 119/9! India would be pretty happy with this bowling performance and will be looking to chase these down in quick time. India's revised target is 126 in 27 overs. Radha Yadav, included in the playing XI, made an impact not just on the ball but also on the field. She was the best bowler with 3/30 in six overs while fellow spinner Sree Charani got two wickets as well (2/23). For Bangladesh, Sharmin Akhter was the top-scorer with 36 runs. The chase will be resume soon! 

OUT! Sree Charani has some revenge on Ritu Moni as she dismisses her off the next ball after being hit for a six! The right-hander danced down the track but miscued the shot and Jemimah Rodrigues takes an easy catch. Ritu Moni Jemimah c Rodrigues b Sree Charani 11(7) 

OUT! Radha Yadav has picked up her third wicket as she castles Rabeya Khan! What an impact she is having on this game! Rabeya Khan b Radha Yadav 3(5)

OUT! Bangladesh have lost another wicket and it is Sharmin Akhter who has to depart! The right-hander miscued her slog sweep and Arundhati Reddy, the substitute fielder pulled off a brilliant running catch. Sharmin Akhter c (sub)Arundhati Reddy b Shree Charani 36(53)

OUT! Radha Yadav is having a night to remember as she dismisses Nahida Akter! The spinner has picked up her second wicket of the match and Nahid Akter has to depart. Nahida Akter b Radha Yadav 3(5)

OUT! Amanjot Kaur has struck now and she has removed Shorna Akter! The right-hander attempted a wild slog but missed the ball completely and it crashed int the stumps. Shorna Akter b Amanjot Kaur 2(3)

OUT! Radha Yadav has struck and she has dismissed Sobhana Mostary! The right-hander wanted to go big on the off-side but could find the fielder in Harleen Deol who pouches a simple catch. Sobhana Mostary c Harleen Deol b Radha Yadav 26(21)

Sobhana Mostary and Sharmin Akhter are looking to finish on a high here. Bangladesh have gained some momentum through Sobhana Mostary, who has hit a flurry of boundaries and they will now eye a solid score on the board with six overs remaining. Meanwhile, Pratika Rawal leaves the field in pain after slipping during fielding. 

OUT! Radha Yadav has produced a sensational piece of run out as she pulled off a direct hit to run out Nigar Sultana Joty. The Bangladesh captain could not drag her bat in time at the non-striker's end and was caught short as seen in the replay. Nigar Sultana Joty run out (Radha Yadav) 9(24)

The match has resumed and Nigar Sultana Joty and Sharmin Akhter have resumed proceedings. N Sree Charani had a brilliant chance to run out Sharmin Akhter in the first over post the restart but the change went begging. 

We have an update from the middle and it is that the match has been reduced to 27 overs per side. The match will resume at 8:05 PM IST (Indian Standard Time).

The good news is that the rain has stopped and the covers are being removed from the stadium. The outfield is being dried and we can have an update on the restart soon. 

The rain has continued to pour down heavily in Navi Mumbai and the delay is only going to get extended. Should the delay continue, there might also be a washout, which would be an unfortunate way to end the group stage of ICC Women's World Cup 2025. 

Oh no! The rain is back in Navi Mumbai and the pitch is being covered. The players are walking off and this is not a good sign in the context of the game. We already had quite a delayed start. Nigar Sultana Joty is batting on 2* while Sharmin Akhter is on 18*. Sree Charani's over was interrupted by the rain and we might start to lose more overs. 

OUT! Deepti Sharma has brought India back into this match as she dismisses Rubaiya Haider Jhelik! The left-hander wanted to go aerial but did not make any connection and Harleen Deol took a simple catch. Rubya Haider Jhelik c Harleen Deol b Deepti Sharma 13(32)
