Delhi: The 23rd match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 will be held today i.e. on Thursday between India and Bangladesh. This match will be played at the Old Trafford ground in Manchester. During this time, Indian team’s veteran spin all-rounder Deepti Sharma will have a chance to create history. By taking just one wicket in the match, Deepti will become the female bowler taking the most wickets in international cricket.

Deepti will achieve the mega record

At present, Deepti is jointly at the first place in international cricket along with India’s Jhulan Goswami in terms of taking the most wickets. Both have 355 wickets in their name.

‘Do or die’ contest for India

This match is very important for India from the point of view of reaching the semi-finals. India has won out of three matches. Whereas in one he had to face defeat. India is at second position in Group A on the points table with four points. Australia remains on the top position with four wins. If India wants to remain in the race for the semi-finals, it is very important for it to defeat Bangladesh. If India has to face defeat from Bangladesh, it will be very difficult for it to reach the knockout stage.
