Bangladesh play Pakistan in ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 Group A at Old Trafford Cricket Ground, Manchester, on Saturday 20 June 2026, with the match starting at 14:30 BST (UTC+1). Old Trafford Cricket Ground holds 26,000 spectators and is one of England’s most historic sporting venues.

Bangladesh Women have improved steadily at successive ICC events. Their performances reflect the growing investment in women’s cricket across South Asia, and Bangladesh’s players bring competitive intensity and improving skill to every match. The expansion of women’s cricket in Bangladesh, a country where the sport has passionate grassroots support, makes them a consistently developing force on the international stage.

Pakistan Women have built genuine quality across their squad in recent years. Nida Dar’s all-round skills and Bismah Maroof’s batting experience provide a strong foundation, while their newer players have benefited from the growing Women’s Super League cricket structure in Pakistan. Both Bangladesh and Pakistan represent the South Asian women’s cricket revolution: teams that have emerged from limited infrastructure to compete at the sport’s highest level.

Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester is one of England’s most storied cricket venues, hosting international cricket since 1884. With a capacity of 26,000, it sits adjacent to Old Trafford football stadium in the heart of Greater Manchester. The ground’s variable weather, where overcast Manchester skies can shift conditions rapidly, adds an unpredictable dimension to matches played there.
