AUS-W vs BAN-W: Probable Best Batter
Australia Women: Australia have three centuries in three innings they have played in this edition. Captain Alyssa Healy slammed one of the best tons in a chase, helping her team chase down a record total. She will keep playing in an aggressive manner and will put the opposition under pressure.
Bangladesh Women: Sharmin Akhter had a great knock against South Africa in the previous game. She slammed a mature fifty but was unlucky to get run out. She will be one to watch out for.
AUS-W vs BAN-W: Probable Best Bowler
Australia Women: Annabel Sutherland recorded the first fifer of the tournament against India. She is also the leading wicket-taker with ten wickets and bowls important spells in the middle.
Bangladesh Women: Leg-spinners have been very successful in this tournament, and Fahima Khatun has been the pick of the bowlers for Bangladesh. She is taking wickets in the middle and is someone who can put brakes on Australian batters.
AUS-W vs BAN-W Today’s Match Prediction: There is no match between these two sides in any department. Bangladesh Women some good bowlers, but others are not contributing much. The batting did well for them in the last game, but their average scoring total is 230-240, which cannot stop Australia after what they did against India, chasing 330 runs.
Australia Women have never lost an international game in women's cricket against Bangladesh. So, that shows how the games have ended between these two sides overall. The current form is also favoring Australia, which is why the defending champion are expected to beat Bangladesh Women on Thursday in Vizag.
