India’s semi-final chances are hanging in the balance as they face Bangladesh in a crucial fixture in the 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. This Group A game on Thursday in Manchester between the fourth-placed ‘Tigresses’ and the second-placed ‘Women in Blue’ could see the loser getting eliminated in the race for top-two. With high stakes involved, can Bangladesh create history and post a huge upset win?
Both teams have four points (W2, L1) after three rounds of matches, and India are above only because of a better run rate. Australia sit comfortably at the top of the group with six points, while Pakistan and the Netherlands are already eliminated.
Bangladesh women edged Pakistan by 23 runs in a low-scoring game last Saturday to bounce back from a nine-wicket thrashing at the hands of Australia. Their last group game is against South Africa, and Bangladesh need to win both for an unlikely semifinal spot.
India’s chances took a hit after a six-wicket loss to South Africa on Sunday, although their run rate is healthy, thanks to huge wins over Pakistan and the Netherlands. Their last game is against Australia, and the ‘Women in Blue’ can’t afford to lose here or risk getting knocked out. Smriti Mandhana (159 runs, avg. 53) and Shree Charani (10 wickets) remain their best bets in leading that pursuit.

Our Bangladesh vs India Prediction
India complicated their semi-final chances with a loss to South Africa. Although they are second after three rounds of matches, they need to win both their remaining games against Bangladesh and Australia to have hopes of staying there. Bangladesh are also in the reckoning for a top-two finish and can knock India out by winning here.
While that may seem an outlandish option, there’s frankly no value in backing an Indian win. That’s why we dig into the individual players' market, and our India vs Bangladesh prediction is Smriti Mandhana over 30.5 runs.
