The Bahrain Women’s national cricket team has arrived in Oman with confidence and is ready to make a strong statement in the Women’s T20I Triangular Series 2025. The tournament features Bahrain, Qatar, and Oman. It is an important development opportunity for the three countries, but especially Bahrain, where recent progress in women’s cricket has been impressive.
There is growing regional interest in the sport, and more fans are engaging by betting on sports in Bahrain, including on the outcome of tournaments like the Tri-Series. These betting platforms offer insights and analyses so bettors can make informed betting decisions. It is thanks to this uptick in local and foreign betting that the women’s squad is starting the series with more visibility and support than ever before.
The Bahrain Women’s Squad
The Bahrain squad consists of seasoned performers and young talent. Leading the team is Deepika Rasangika, a powerhouse batter whose 849 T20I runs at an average of 49.94 and a strike rate of 124.66 make her a star of the batting order. Her unbeaten 161 remains the highest individual score for the team.

Supporting Rasingika is Tharanga Gajanayake, who adds batting and bowling experience. With 438 runs and 16 wickets, she plays an important double role, and she will likely be a defining factor in Bahrain’s campaign.
Rasika Rodrigo (179 runs) has produced key contributions, including a half-century. She further strengthens the batting core.
When it comes to bowling, Bahrain has put together a good attack squad. Gajanayake also leads this unit, in partnership with Pavithra Shetty. Shetty has been one of the most reliable bowlers for the country, securing 14 wickets in 20 innings, including impressive figures of 3/10. Rasangika will also play an important role here, with 12 wickets to her name, showing her all-round ability. The trio will have to work together to restrict opposition scoring and break batting partnerships.
The full squad further includes: Reshel Dsouza, Mishal Siraj, Sheetal Hate, Aqsa Taric, Eman Shahzadi, Sweeta Corda, Reema Naseer, Ashwini Govinda, Sana Butt, Sadamali Bhakshala, Nipino Nadeera, Swarna Nunna, and Sudeskika Ranawaka.
Bahrain’s Women’s squad views the Tri-Series as more than just a straightforward competition. It is the perfect opportunity to develop the team and gain international exposure. Each match will be a test that builds on women’s cricket in the country.
Oman Ready To Host
Oman is the host nation of the 2025 GCC Women’s T20I Championship, which will take place from 12 to 18 December. The country has previously hosted the event in 2022, and the return to Oman shows how the nation is prioritizing women’s cricket development.
Oman’s head coach, Desmond Berhardt, praised the value and timing of the series, saying, “The triangular involving Oman, Bahrain, and Qatar provided a very good buildup for our girls, especially with the league having begun recently. It gave us the match exposure we needed at the right stage for our preparation.”
Oman’s players have home support and are preparing for a confident performance as they host their Gulf neighbors.
