India Women will start as clear favourites in this contest, especially because of the form of their opening pair. Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal have been consistent throughout the tournament, scoring over 300 runs each.
Their twin centuries against New Zealand in the last game showed how strong and composed they are at the top.
On the other hand, Bangladesh have struggled to build strong opening stands. Sharmin Akhter and Sobhana Mostary have shown determination but have not been able to convert starts into big scores. With Indiaβs openers in much better touch and with an understanding of the venue, they are likely to dominate at the top of the order again.
