Match 3 at the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup will see Bangladesh take on Pakistan at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Thursday afternoon. The Tigresses and the Women in Green are hoping to win their first-ever world title this year. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Bangladesh are set to feature in just their second World Cup campaign this year and will be hoping for a better run than in their debut in 2022, when they only won one of their seven games.
The Tigresses booked their spot in this competition via the World Cup Qualifiers in second place, edging West Indies for the final berth by the slenderest of net run rate margins.
Bangladesh faced Sri Lanka in a warm-up match over the weekend and won by a single run. They have now won four of their last six matches across all competitions.
Meanwhile, Pakistan are making their sixth appearance in the World Cup but finished each of the last three editions in last place. Their best performance came in 2009 when they finished fifth.
The Women in Green finished top of the table in the WC Qualifiers, with a perfect record of five wins in five matches and a net run rate of 1.074.
Pakistan took on South Africa in their prep match for this competition on Sunday and lost by four wickets, marking their third defeat in their last four ODI matches.

Our Bangladesh vs Pakistan Prediction
Bangladesh are set to feature in their second ODI World Cup this year, and while they are one of the biggest underdogs, they did have an impressive qualifying campaign in which they denied the West Indies a spot in the competition.
Pakistan’s preparation for the World Cup did not go too well, losing three of their last four games, but Sidra Amin has been in sensational form over the past year, and we feel she will thrive on this wicket in Colombo. Our Bangladesh vs Pakistan prediction is Sidra Amin 30+ runs.
