The 6th match of the Women's T20 World Cup will take place between England and Bangladesh at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh started off the tournament with a big win over Scotland and will eye their second successive win on the trot.

England play 4 spinners as spin-track on offer

On the other hand, England will play their opening contest of the tournament, and it started on a positive note as their skipper, Heather Knight won the toss and elected to bowl first. However, they have played a surprise punt by picking up 4 spinners, something which the England team doesn't do.

For England, Lauren Bell misses out as the team has gone in with 4 spinners. The Sharjah track assist the spinners and England have decided to leave out one of their star pacers to accommodate an extra spinner.

Interestingly, even Bangladesh wanted to bat first, and rightly so. The pitch will get slower as the game progresses, and the best time to bat is in the first innings. The Bangladesh team has made one change from their last match - Murshida Khatun makes way for Dilara Akter.

Both teams are going in with a spin heavy side, and the battle in the middle overs from 7-15 will decide the fate of the contest.
