INDW vs BANW: which India–Bangladesh women’s result am I looking at?

Why I looked this up

I wanted to untangle “indw vs banw”: not just which teams the shorthand referred to, but which India Women–Bangladesh Women match a result belonged to. The team names alone were not enough to distinguish the official reports I found.

The direct answer for the September meeting is that India beat Bangladesh by 40 runs in the Women’s Asia Cup semi-final on 10 September 2026, according to the ICC’s match report. That win took India into the final.

The two results I needed to keep separate

I compared the September report with the BCCI’s June World Cup report. This is my reference table—not a claim that these were the teams’ only meetings.

Detail	September meeting	June meeting
Date	10 September 2026	25 June 2026
Competition	Women’s Asia Cup semi-final	ICC Women’s T20 World Cup
India’s score	149/6	139/5
Result	India won by 40 runs	India won by five wickets

The September column comes from the ICC Asia Cup report; the June column comes from the BCCI World Cup report. The ICC’s separate June report also confirms the five-wicket win.

For me, the useful distinction is the competition and date together, rather than the abbreviated team names. A correct result from June still answers the wrong question when I am looking for the September semi-final.

How I would apply that distinction

Hypothetical example: suppose I am checking the Asia Cup semi-final and someone sends me a score of India 139/5, alongside a five-wicket victory.

Those details match the June World Cup report. I would treat that as a different fixture, not as an alternative score for the September match. For the September semi-final, the relevant report records India’s 149/6 and a 40-run win.

That changes which link I would share: the Asia Cup report answers the September question; the World Cup report explains why the other score is also a real India–Bangladesh result. I would not label the June score false merely because it does not belong to the match I meant.

What I looked into next

I also checked whether a familiar player’s name could distinguish the reports. Not on its own: Shafali Verma featured prominently in both.

The September report records her 64 off 40 balls and Deepti Sharma’s 3/26. The June report records Shafali’s 53 off 34 balls and Radha Yadav’s 3/28.

My takeaway is quite specific: when looking up this pairing, I need the tournament attached to the score. Even the same standout batter can lead me to the wrong match if I skip that detail.
