Women’s World Cup: Rubya Haider Debuts As Pakistan Elect To Bat Against Bangladesh
World Cup Qualifier: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first against Bangladesh in the third match of the Women’s World Cup 2025 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Thursday. While Bangladesh are led by wicketkeeper-batter Nigar Sultana, young Fatima Sana is in charge of the Pakistani side.
The recent four ODI matches between the two teams have been evenly balanced, with both sides winning two games each, including a match where Bangladesh secured a victory in the Super Over.
Both teams have recorded two losses and three wins from their last five respective ODI outings. However, while Pakistan won their most recent ODI match against South Africa during their three-match series, Bangladesh head into the game with a couple of losses from their previous two ODI matches, both of which came at the World Cup Qualifier against the West Indies and Pakistan.
