Watch Bangladesh Vs. England Women’s Cricket Live Stream: T20 Women’s World Cup Must-Win For Lady Tigers
The Bangladesh women’s cricket team faces another difficult test when the Lady Tigers face England in their second match of the Women’s T20 World Cup Thursday, after falling to hosts India by a formidable 72 run margin earlier this week. Before the tournament opened, the Bangladesh women, who remain far less experienced in international T20 cricket than the Lionesses, also dropped a practice match to Sri Lanka, after defeating Ireland in a warm-up.
England, on the other hand, played three warm-up games, winning them all — twice against New Zealand and once against defending Women’s T20 World Cup champions Australia, who defeated England in the T20 World Cup Final two years ago, when Bangladesh hosted the competition.
Bangladesh, after taking the hammering from India two days earlier, face a must-win game in just their second time out to maintain a realistic hope of advancing in the tournament.
England, winners of the very first Women’s T20 World Cup in 2009, have won 14 of their last 19 games in T20 World Cup play and were runners-up to Australia in both of the previous two tournaments.
Bangladesh Captain Jahanara Alam said on Wednesday that her team has moved on from the humbling defeat to India and is ready for the challenge posed by England, one of the world’s top T20 side in the women’s game.
“We want to forget everything and move forward. We have the confidence to bounce back and are thinking only about playing England tomorrow. We just want to learn from our mistakes. Before every match, any team wants to win so we will go into the match with that attitude. England is a very good side, but we are not thinking about that. We are thinking simply about playing our game.”

England and Bangladesh have previously squared off only one time. But a confident England skipper Charlotte Edwards promised England fans that her team will not take the Lady Tigers lightly.
“We will be favorites tomorrow, and our rankings suggest that as well. We have played against Bangladesh only once and know they are a tough opposition and a good bowling and fielding outfit, but I guess probably lacking a bit with the bat. We saw that yesterday in their game against India, but they are not a team we will underestimate at all.”
The match will be the first of the tournament for England. The last and only time the Lionesses and Lady Tigers have met in a T20 match came in the 2014 Women’s Cricket World Cup, when England dominated Bangladesh, winning by 59 runs after restricting Bangladesh to just 59 for nine.
