Bangladesh arrives at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 with momentum from their breakthrough performance three years earlier, when they captured their first tournament victory against Pakistan. Right-handed batter Sharmin Akther Supta leads eight returning players who have since built on that success with a drawn series against India and a series triumph over Pakistan. The 29-year-old veteran topped the qualifying tournament with 266 runs across five matches and earned selection to the team of the tournament after Bangladesh secured their World Cup berth by edging the West Indies on net run rate.
Sharmin has come close to reaching triple figures with scores of 96 and 94 not out in recent matches, but still pursues her first century. A hundred at the World Cup would make her only the third Bangladeshi woman to reach the milestone and the first to do so at the tournament. The squad blends experienced campaigners with emerging talent such as 17-year-old World Cup debutant Nishita Akhter Nishi. Sharmin credits the combination of veteran knowledge and youthful energy as a source of excitement for the team's campaign.
