Bangladesh women’s cricket team will embark on their second-ever ICC Women’s World Cup journey as they depart for Colombo on Tuesday.
After making their debut in 2022 in New Zealand, where they recorded a historic maiden victory against Pakistan, the Tigresses will be eager to build on that experience.
The 2025 edition of the tournament begins on September 30 in Guwahati with hosts India facing Sri Lanka, while Bangladesh open their campaign against familiar foes Pakistan on October 2 in Colombo. The Tigresses will have a chance to ramp up preparations ahead of their tournament opener as they are scheduled for two warmup games against Sri Lanka on September 25 and 27, respectively.
